4 MIR. Gutenberg, chairman Of the committee ap-
pointed by the citizens to correspond With The
/ authorities of Sonora relative to The San Pedro
massacre. after waiting till supposed no decisive
4 action would be taken, received at length only a.
/ few days ago note and order of arrest from the
Sonora Government, advising him officially OF tic
arrest OF nine of the murderers and that this extra
\ ordinary case had been placed before the Liberal
4 Government in Vera Cruz for Instructions. The
same day he received a letter from German r0w
4 in Sonora, and formerly engaged in the mines Of
4 this country, to whom most OF them were well
known stating that to his horror be saw ave BIZ the
murderers in Pesquiera's troops, under command
of Gorilla. As he il reliable man, there can be
no doubt of his statement being true. Either the
Sonora Government is acting with great elupeity
in the matter, or the men taken from e0niiae-
ment and placed In the army without Pesquiera's
| order. As the Governor has lately been rather
favorably inclined towards the Americans, the lat-
ter presumption is most probable. Still, let il be
it may, the men should expiate their crime on
the galows and is little consolation To the friends
of their victims that they do not owe their liberty
4 to direct order from the Governor.
