The capture of the Prince Maxmilian in Queretaro
by the Republican armies of Mexico seems probable
The reported severity practced upon the prisoners
taken at Zacatecas eXcites apprehension that similar
severity may be practced in the case of the Prince
and his alien troops. Such seventies would be iniu
rlous to the national of Mexico and to the re-
publican system throug ghout the world '.~,..-
You will communicate to President Juarez prompt
~ ana by eftectua MEANS the desire of this Govern
nent that in case of capture, the Prince and his sup
porters may receive the humane treatment awarded by
clvlilsed nations to prisoners of
The expense of making the communication to Pres
ldent Juarez will be betrayed by this department.
