To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR: The credit of the country. and possibly the
claims Of justice, may yet demand full investigation
into the mystery which envelopes the present whercabout
Of Gen: santa NINA a. well as the Circumstance which
surrounded him AT Staten Island. When eyeryt thing j.
tnOwu-suppOe such an cNp0St pO>sibc-the facts may
tarnish another loud cry ainst the deep damnatOn Of
Ms ME'nQ0g" We nave strong suspicious Of the genuine
ness Of all the pronuncamentO kilograms, and rumOTs
from Mexico and elsewhere touching this whole business
relating to Santa Anna and his movements
The cpose Of ANTONIO, the nephew Of Santa Ar,a,
had him in their charge at Habana Island. TO prevent all
access to him by his friends We have heard that this
vain old man. whose mind had become 50 impaired, or
was so weak as 10 make HIM an easy Vftn, through
appeals 10 his vanity and ambition. made 10 believe
that he was in communication with the Secretary OF
State the President and other important officers OF the
United states Government, 10 Is said That parties
Jaiy introduced 10 him as Government Ministers agents
That documents bearing the signatures Of Mr. seward
and other Government officials, were shown to him
IN EngIsh, which nc could not read, and then
Translated TO suit the purposes Of those about
him, and that he was thus constantly dupcd, and
made TO believe himself the Coming Man" in Mexico,
whom the peODle were ready 10 hail with scclamatiOn.
Large Of money, is believed, thus obtained
him in Mexico. That he gave power of attorney absO
party. who has already hypohccated mortgaged his
valuable estates in st. Thomas aud n Mexico prOicsocdy
for the purposes With this large amount Of money
in their hands and the way clear for obtaining it is
clear that there motive of the most powerful kind
for getting finally rid OF the wOudbc Dictator, and for
pOcketng his gold.
To accomplish this with the least possible suspicion tb.
old man has been Put board of steamer and first
landed at Juan del IllOa, Vera Cruz Here
the report" by the way Of Havana, published in the
papers to-day. that santa Anna was compelled To
embark the 4th board the Virginia; that he was
afterward fOrciJy leH from, the Ssal. tried
by Court tMartia, and condemned TO I've hanged
Now, this whole affair from beginning end looks
like welaTanged piracy, whose object has been
to wres from the old General his large fortune divide
the amonnt aud then to get rid OF him by the shortest
possible r0uehrOugh betraying hn into the hands Of
The Liberals atter they had FIRST put him down al Vera
Cruz in the Interests OF H1peri0i,ss.
IL would be well for the officers OF the Government to
have sharp lookout for the Virginia when she makes
der appearance at this point again. and require stnct
account OF her mysterious voyage.
