THE PRESS TELEGRAM.

The War In Sinalon-Prop0sed Secession of
the State-SIore Steamship Contracts Upon
the Western COast Called For.
SAN FRANCISCO, April II, 1868.
The steamship Sierra Nevada arrived to-day from
Mazatlan, with advices to the I'd of April.
The United States steamer Resaca and the English
war steamer Chanticleer were in port at Mazatan,
and the United States steamer Suwanee was at
La PaZ.
General Corona. with about 5000 troops. was daily
expected to arrive at Mazatlan from Guadalajara to
suppress the rebellion of Martinez, and bloody
conflict was inevitable.
Martinez was pressing every man into his service
with the intention of attacking Rubi In the field in
force His object was to demoraze the forces of
Rubi before they could form junction with those OF
Corona.
General Martinez was supported by General Toledo
and Colonies Palaco and Granadas. Colonel Grana-
das, who raised the cry in Culiacan, and appro-
priated 81, 900 from the mint to defray expenses
publishes circular to his mpatriOts, denouncing
Corona in strong terms the author OF the troubles
in Northwestern Mexico.
Governor Rubi is still in the Panuco Mountains,
awaiting the arrival of Corona.
Affairs in the State presented gloomy appearance,
and the foreigners resident there are anxi0usly
awaiting q change for the better. Some speak OF
the secession of the State to be followed by
ton to the western States.
The steamship contracts upon the Pacific coast
are looked upon as matter OF grea. future sgnif-
cance Leading merchants and business men would
greet change with appreciation. but many persons
continue to look upon Americans with anmosy
from belief that large portion OF the territory
wrested from them by force OF and by intrigues
was for the aggrandizement OF the United States.
The mining interest has been ruined by military
operations the laborers benggenerally pressed into
the army corps.
The condition Of Sinaoa was unsatisfactory. The
cotton crop is almost failure, the yield OF many OF
the fields hardly paying for the picking. The early
and late crops have suffered equally. The planters
are abandoning the raising OF cotton and turning
their attention to cereals. Many foreigners were
locating themselves in the country between Callacan
and Trent on lands which are represented TO be
equal to the best on the Pacific coast. The country
there is free from military troubles, and the climate
is saiubri0us.
