already held by Gen. Dzua. The evacuation Of
Mazatan was rather hurried by the French.
Marshal Bazaine endeavored communicate with the
American ENJOYS Sherman and Campbell, BY telegraph,
asking them if they had instructions to facilitate the
French evacuation and answered that a. the French
had got themselves into such difficult position, they
might get themselves out Of 1t as best they could, and
both declined decidedly to medisor between the
French and Mexcans. Meja and all the principal lm-
pera officers ignore Marshal Bazsine and his authority
The French seized the l2th the custom at Vera

protest.
