various points in Mexico. The Ran
chcro learns that Canales levied Il
forced loan on the town of Escon-
don, near Victoria, which the inhab.
itants of the place refused to pay.
Thereupon Santando seized six of
the principal men of the town, and
had them shot. After the shooting

The Observador. states that the

The Ranchero quotes the follow
ing from n private letter dated Mon
terey, July 18th:
81 have just learned by person
who arrived at Saltillo from Mexico,
that when the Liberals entered the
city, some five or six thousand In
dians followed them, loaded with all
kinds of vegetables, fruits, meats
and fuel, and that during the night
an order was issued that no person
could leave the city without a paaS-
port. To enforce that order the
guards at the gates and causeways
were doubled. About nine o'clock
the next morning these five or six
thousand Indians crowded the main
plaza, clamorous for passports they
all wanted to return home. 1t be-
ing impossible to issue passports to
all that crowd of people, the order
was suspended, and it is supposed
that in that immense crowd all the
big heads left the city without mo-
lestation, for none have so far been
caught. 1t is rumored that Vidaur-
ri is with Olvera.
night We received the nows
that the people of the Laguna had
pronsanced for what and for whom
is not known, but the movements
of those people are of great interest
to the cities of Saltillo and Monte
roy.
"Gen. Castillo was to have been
tried by an ordinary court martial
as was Maximilian. He has proba
bly, been shot, together with dozen
other generals. Such, at least, is
the smotheredreport here. The Lib
erals are striving to keep correct ac-
counts of their assassinations from
being made public"
The execution of General Castil-
10 and other Imperial officers, among
them Col. Almanac, Bueyes Pinto
and Moret, at Queretaro, on the 9th,
is confirmed. They were put through
a mock trial.
The following are the accounts Of
the execution, without trial Of Vi

the following:
SHOOTING OF DON SANTIAGO vIDAURRI
We read in the Globe of yester-
day! At six o'clock this morning
Santiago Vidaurri was found in the
house where he was hid, No. 6 San
Camilo st. He preferred as the 9TH
or high officials of the empire, to
hide himself from the authorities
and let pass the occasion which was
offered upon the occupation of this
place by the republican army to
profit by those terms and means,
compatible with the acts of justice.
At headquarters, we are informed
there was found against him, by ex-
isting laws, one impediment which
could not be passed over, without
the painful necessity of making a
severe example, in consequence Of
which, the old governor of Nuevo-
Leon and COahuila will be shot this
evening.
The desire, Notwithstanding is,
not to see again another painful eK-
ample, tho same as hasalready given
place to this incident, inspired Gen.
Diaz, as we have been told, to con-
cede q new term to those military
and civil officers who, sustained the
usurpation, and are still hidden, in
which to deliver themselves up
AS u consequence the Quartermaster
General published an order which
is hereto appended.
1t appears that after Don Santiago
Vidaurri was discovered, he mani
tested intentions of resisting the po-
lice. Ills Identification was imme-
diately established and when the
criminal was apprehended, he con-
fesscd hiscomplicity in the machina-
tions against our independence as
also his character of President of
the so-called Council of Ministers.

before these lines see tho light, it
could not have been avefted unless
by overstepping the law and the
most grave considerations of public
