Ahec, fresh from New York, have been
recently delghting Mexican audiences, and where q
year ago General O'Horan was tried ana received
his sentence Of death. rumor has prevailed Of
iate-which has, however, been contradicted BY
some Of the city press-that President Juarez In
tended to issue proclamation Of amnesty to late
tmperiasts on this anniversary day. There are not
few Mexicans who claim that the peaceful con-
dition OF the country Is such thar like proclama-
ton be made with safety to the nation and that

Of such duties has elected no criticisms or unfrendly
comments from the opposition press which few

in regard TO General Cauto ana his connection with
the late assassination Of General Patoni The latest
reports which are entitled to repetition are that the
shooting Of Patoni was retaliation for the death Of
Colonel Miguel Cruz-Aedo for which his friends
claim Ortega and Patoni are responsible. IL is de-
clared that General Cauto has finally thrown the
responsibility upon his superior officers, not desig
mating whom, whether General Corona the COM
mander OF the division OF the west or the War De-
partmen here General Cauto claims the privilege OF
being tried by the Congress- The above rumor gives
good ground for another previously mentioned In
