Deliberate Execution of One Hundred
and JWenIy-thFee French Prisoner
The Victims meet Death Shining the
Hr-aefEufsR

From the Brownsville RancherO- Fe1. 24
We published yesterday the order OF
Gen Mariang EscobedO, directing that
all the prisoners captured at Sar Jacinto
Rancho OF the first day of this month";
not born in Mexico, be put % death.
This order was executed on the third
inst, at Z o'clock in the evening or,
rather, the execution of the Onehundred
and tWenty-three prisoners was finished
at that hour One by one the prisoners
were shot, and each bloody body was left
as it fell for the next victim in order to
look upon. We are informed that but
few OF the doomed victims faltesed and
when marched out for execution most of
them sang the Marsellaise hymn. We
have been promised the full particulars
of this awful massacre, and when re-
ceived they will be laid before the public
in order to complete the black and
damning record.
1t has been the custom in Mexico to
shoot commissioned officers captured in
battle, but this is the first instance for
many years where any considerable
number of private soldier prisoners have
been sentenced to death and executed.
During all the wars the Mexican lead
ers have regarded the private soldier as
an irresponsible instrument in tFis hands
of eonscripting, commissioned officers.
Then why, let US ask, have they at this
/ time dragged l23 soldiers to the execu-

three persons who were on the spot at
the time twenty were found dead, eleven
wounded, seven unhurt, and the rest
nowhere-only mangled fragments re-

several houses in the neightOrhOod were
oyerthrown. Fortunately the store
where the powder was kept after manu-
facture resisted the shock, Otherwise the
mischief would have been still greater.
The cause of the explosion is the most
remarkable part Of the affair. The
director of the mills had raised suspicion
by his Cetravagant expenditure, and il
was discovered that he systematically
appropriated to his own benefit large
portion of the powder manufactured
a party of police, therefore, headed by
Inspector Vespa, paid hin a visit, and
found ample proofs of his crime. On
/ seeing that his frauds we're discovered
I he found a pretext for entering a room
where about six'quintals Of powder were
