| American interests continue to be involved in
many ways in their protracted struggle. From
Havana, We hear Of a successful attempt 10
supply arms to Macmillan, through the Amer.
can and Mexican Steamship Company, one of
whose vessels took II 900 muskets to Vera Cruz.
The American Consul at Havana at first de.
tanned this ship but is reported to have with
drawn his protest ct the intercesson Of the
English and French Consuls and the American
agent Of Maximilian-a matter that certainly
needs to be inquired into. On the other hand,
the Liberals receive supplies to some extent by
way Of San Francisco.
The bloody decree of Macmillan. that
Liberals taken in arms should be shot in cold
blood is producing its natural fruit-s wnr Of
determination.
The Mexcans will neither surrender 10
certain death, nor give quarter to those who
give no quarter to them. Those who are re-
ported by the French to have given themselves
up, prove to be merely robbers, belonging to
neither army and preying alike on both parties.
A considerable number Of Americans have
been arrested in Nazas on the pretext that they
were concerned in or cognizant Of the assassina.
ton of French Project of that State. Their
real offcnse seems to consist in the fact that
they were Americans.
