he endeavored get $500 900 in Mexico TO organise
AN EXPEDITION against this place. but only succeeded IN
obtaining $4S 900, not more than enough to meet cur
rent expenses. The expedition, however is still sp0-
ken Of but il is not feared not on account OF our
strength. but their greater weakness.
All is quiet and cheering at the north. Degollado
at San Luis. ydaurri is under arrest II seems his
own men lost confidence in his integrity, and finally
Joined Aramberri. The Government here is right glad
OF his disgrace, IA he hard customer TO deal
with, always acting by himself and Tor himself ana
never submitting to Federal authority. With you, ha

for the moment fallen victim to his selfconceit and
personal ambition

expedition contemplated against Mexico is still spoken
OF as formidable.

Legation in charge He has won golden opinions
from all sorts of people. Mr. Mclane ia expected out
the beginning Of the month. Mr. Elgee has already

negotiations since the Minister left but the ChnrY6
