man and Campbell to Mexico. The expe-
dition, according to Mexican advices has
proven positive injury to Juarez and
windfall to Ortega. The two ENJOYS were
at odds with one another from the start
each claimed to rank the other, and each
had separate instructions. This led to
stormy discussions between them, in which
personal illusions, by no means eompli-
mentary, eliminated in open breach at
Matamoras, when they parted company,
returning by separate routes to New Or
leans.
