City of Mexico correspondence of the 3Oth
says: The Imperialists were rejoicing over
| the removal of President Juarez and his
government from Chihuahua to El Paso,
and also at the absurd story which has been
circulated in this country to the effect that
.Inarez had deserted his country and gone
| To santa re, IN the y nlted States Terrific
ry of New Mexico. Maximillian's ad-
| herents, however, were forced to acknowl-
| edge that the Republican Government
was in much better condition to sustain
itself at El Paso than chihuahua, and that
there would be much difficulty in dislodg-
ing it from the former place. Juarez has
there an immenee tract of country, and
| great resources at his disposal.
Several severe victories over the Re-
publicans are claimed by the Imperialists,
but still the guerillas swarm on all the
highways running ont of the Capital, and
order seems no nearer being established
i'll the country than when Louis Napoleon
and Maximillian commenced their work
of regulation. Dbl. ..

The following exhibits the entire num-
ber of sick and destitute refugees and
freedmen in this district who have re-
ceived rations from Government as gra-
tuity during the month of September last
Of the 1910 of this class in this city $50
received Government rations Of 49S on
Government farms in Maryland 250 are
subsisted by the Bureau OF 1919 of the
Freedmen's village or Arlington Heights
III receive rations, and of the 5000 in
Alexandria county Viaginia IO7 are sub
SISTED by Government No rations are
issued to the freedmen of London and
Fairfax counties, Virginia, which contain
respectively 5000 and 1000 colored inhab-
itants
As several journals have given currency
to the report that much larger number of
freedmen resupported by Government in
this city, and that they are generally indo-
LEM and worthless, the above official state
ment will be sufficient refutation. There
are in some instances more rations than the
number quoted issued to freedmen, but in
all cases they are given in part as pay
ment for labor rendered the Government
and not as gratuitOus. a.
