MEXICAN HATRED OF THE UNITED STATES,
La PAsE, Lower California, May 49,, vie
San Francisco, June IL. Governor Galam
VINO was arrested by order of Gen. Davales is
still prisoner and is confined to his room un-
der guard of soldiers. He was arrested be-
cause he permitted an American vessel from
San Francisco to discharge her cargo at re.
duction of 12t per cent.
Of all the governors who admitted European
vessels to discharge cargoes at other ports al
fifty per cent reduction not one has been ar
rested, but Galam is friend of the Americans,
and that is his only crime. -s-sF7 sEs'
The feeling of the dominant party here
against Americans and especially against Gov
ernor Galan and the United States Consul
(E!mer) is very bitter and the Hidalgo and
Nevarro factions have grossly misreprcsented
Governor Galan's official conduct to President
Juarez and his Cabinet, and have neutralized
the kind officers of Minister Plumb and Col
Luce in the Governors behalf at the city of
Mexico. .asss -la'a.t
These factions are now all powerful and for
the present are strong Juarez men.
Gen--DAyales- is now military governor of
Lower California. As such he keeps the legal
governor prisoner, and by the next steamer
Will send him under guard to the national au-
thorities at Mazatlan.
Gov. Galam will leave behind. his wife, an
excellent lady, educated in the United States
and six little children. His case is an extreme
ly hard one and demands the investigation of
the authorities of the American government.
Ex-Governor Vega of Sinaloa is somewhere
in this territory. The authorities are pursuing
him with vengeance. 1t Is reported that he
had been captured at Cape St. Lucas by some
OF Davalo's troops, but it is without founda-
ton. eFf5E - r...
The present general stagnation of business
may soon be cnlivened by revolution.

man from Michigan (Mr. Ferry in favor of the
poor mans lumber, and from the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Barnes) in favor of the

road companies exacting one cent additional
