IcuALA, JUNIOR, 1887.
To THE CITIZEN PRsFEcr or GuunRERo:-
General Alvarez, who eptertans evil Intentions
sarding the forces under ycommandforces who have
for some time been developing for this object machia
velian policy which is hostile To and deserving the
censuro oil all good Mexcaus
In pursuance OF this policy no addressed circular on
tho "a inst to the local authorities Of tho State in
which BIO assumes tina. have revoed from my obedi-
enco 10 the government and sullled my fair fame
patriot but says he is close at hand bring order
Indeed as some people not thoroughly acquainted
with this matter General Alvarez takes advantage
Of their ignorance to spread erroneous notions
on the subject; and as regards the motives that
have impehed mo, not to ignore tho authority
or the state as he falsely asserts, but to prevent
the blood of brethren from being shed, which would
assuredy have taken place had allowed his forces to
enter this place at moment when the wound fresh
in the hearts of my soldiers after tho refusal to grant
them any kind OF aid If they enemies Of the
republics and this without recolecting that for months
soldiers OF this division sacrificing their lives at the
siege OF Qucctaro for the glory OF the nation and the
honor OF the State. When tho First brigade reached
TaUubaya made known its wants, showed the breaches
made Ia Its ranks by the enemys balls their garments
torn to taers and the paor marking their vsages from
wat and hunger, yet all could obtain In reward for
all their su1erlngs was insulting refusal And this
happened at time when the government had been long
in receipt OF the cuoms revenue OF Acapulco and the
other forces Of the State being regularly provided
for.
Now because refuse to allow tho entry into this
place of armed force from whose presence nothing
but conflict could result called REBEL and futile
protexs are sought TO destroy me- have called General
Alvarez to peace; have mnde amioabe and concatory
proposals 70 him but in his PRIDE and impelled by the
antpatrotic circle that surrounds him, he has rejected
even condescend to open my proposals This despotc
conduct has forced TO be my guard against this
torrent Of gnoSie revenge, ana nave given noGe .,
already has ample information OF the wreched state OF
our people and their anxiety TO ameorate their cond
ton under the protection OF justice and peace both OF
which they have long hoped for vain at the hands OF
tneir governors.
Such tho truth of the case, and expect that you
will your district OF It, thoy may DO
imposed on By Interested parties, and know whose
side are both reason and justice
assure you OF my highest consideration.

In addition to The above, 1t has been authorta,ively
ascertsinsd that early as last January Macmillan

to decide tho question OF the permanenoy Of
the empire in their way. He proposed 10
place himself board pending the settle
ment OF the question, and added that IL virtually
settled there threefourhs Of the country then
occupied by the liberals. Bazaine the French Marshal
ass lmed a neutral position regarding Maxmlians pro-
position but promised 10 hold his troops aoof during
the canvass or election which no expected would follow
tertan the proposition be he did recognize the
authority claimed by the Emperors agent to represent
am portion OF the Mexican people.
