The Imperialists had surprised small camp
Of Liberals, killing ~ and capturing 80, who
were to be executed under Maximilian's order.
Gen. Crawford addressed Gen. Weitze on
the subject, asking him to prevent the murder.
The latter replied thathe had entered solemn
protest against this, but Gen. Mejia informed
him that he was compelled to execute them
by the orders of his government.
Gen. Crawford was shot at from the oppo-
site side of the river, but an apology was alter
wards offered.
Recent adyices state that Gen. Clark had ar
rived at Brownsville with important dispatches
