Santa Anna therefore reached Zamors without strik
ing blow-an easy victory, but yet the most sub
stantis be Is likely to achieve. The stories published
in the papers Of the defeat Of Pueblita are utterly
Talse. Santa Anna did send party in pursuit Of him,
but these chivalrous soldiers returned after sbeence
of few hours swearing they were unable 10 discover
single trace of the daring rebel whereupon Santa
Anna lavshed upon them some OF those choice epi-
bets of reproach with which the Spanish vocabulary
abounds.
After the capture of Zamors, the insurgents took
different routes and what Is almost incredible, while

Degollados forces resumed the route to Michoacan.

men to fill the gaps made in his companies.
After the capture of Zamora, Santa Anna returned
10 Morelia. He was expected back in Mexico, when,
believing he had scarcely accomplished enough for his
glory lie devised new plan. lgnacio Comonorr

town of about geo souls about 30 leagues from More

Continuing his march rapidly enough, ne arrived at
Santa Clara de Cobra about midway between Paz-

initiative and had advanced TO meet the GoVernhen

disasters thought it advisable 10 retreat The coun-

destitute of provisions and compelled TO push
their way across mountainous region full OF deep
