Letter from President Juarez.
Ell PAso Dec %, 1895.
My DEAR SIR have received your favor of the 18th
OF October In which you acknowledge receipt of mine of
18th OF August You will receive If is not already
in your hands, the I you In November,
nouncing the withdrawal of the French ffom chihuahua,
and other points this frontier and my departure for
tho capital Of this State where arrived on the Goth OF
that month. A few days afterwards however and with
being able up to the present tmo to learn the
object Of many marches and countcrmarches, the
enemy again commenced expedition TO reoccupy
chihuahua which took place on the 18th. On the 9th
left there and the 18th arrived here without Incl
dent. BY these movements the enemy has in no way
improved his situation; he is only consuming his last
and demoralzing his forces With the attitude
that the government of tho United States has lately
sumed Macmillan has not the slightest probability
OF cementing his so-called throne He must very
clearly that even should he arrive at the complete
conquest Of the country, occupying with his forces
10 the utmost limits Of the republic and
destroying the national government, which, how
ever, will take place. the United States viii
permit him to consolidate his power, and his
sacrifices and his victories will have counted for nothing
This result already in the conviction Of ALL
has augmented the increasing dscouragemcnt OF our
opponents, and has terminated the public spirit on our
the necessity of the United States taking any direct part
in war; shall ourselves alone be able to obtain the
dcnntvc triumph Of the Of the nation nicpon-
dence Such is my desire, and to such result al my
efforts directed Although Napoleon, from his pride
and the habtual depreciation with which he has treated
u.s. may not be ready to propose terms, yet the time Is
coming when he will be glad to accept those we pro-
posed before the For ourselves, we will neither
propose accept anything absolutely nothing, which
In the slightest degree imply recognition OF tbs
Intervention that may be contrary 10 the honor and
dignity OF the country. Have but little patience, and
tho time will soon come when you return to our
country free at last from all lis oppressos Truly your
friend. BENIro JUAREz
