American Neutrality In the War.

NOTIFICATION.
Having been officially informed that war exists in
Japan between his Majesty the MIkado and the Ty-
coon, and being desirous Of taking measures to
the observance OF q strict neutrality ON the
part Of citizens Of the United States Of America, l
give notice to such citizens that active participation
in this war, by entering into service, the sale or
charter of vessels Of war, transport ships for
transportation of troops military persons, military
dispatches arms, ammunition or articles contra
ties, and similar acts constitute, according to lnte-
national law, breach of neutrality, and may there
fore be treated as hostile acts.
Persons In such military service would subject
themselves to the rules OF war, while Ships and
other means OF conveyance engaged in breach OF
neutrality, would render themselves liable to cap
ture and cOntiscation, which rule may extend to
cargo belonging to neutrals.
Such breaches would also involve the citizen and
vessel in the danger of forfeting claim to the pro-
lection OF their government well the rights and
privileges granted by the treaty between the United
States and Japan. r. b. VAN VALKENBURG,

tion in the matter OF the public service
between court digntaries and the military
class, between 'noble and vulgar.n The first

given to the new regime, these should be the aspi-
rations OF every patriotic Japanese as they Of
every sympathizing freeman OF the West.

New ORLEANS, November 23.-The
Brownsville RanGhero Extra of the 18th
says that letters from Monterey received
the previous night state that Escobedo, hav-
ing gone from Tampico to Victoria for the
purpose of commencing the Tamaulipas
campaign jointly with the troops from
Matamoras, was surprised by the en-
tire force Of Vargas at the Hacienda
de Alamitas and defeated, barely esca-
ping with few of his staff to Monte
rey. His forces fought badly, and before
the fight was over cheered for Vargas and
Canales, winding up by declaring in favor
Of the rebels. Escobedo, after getting to
Monterey, attempted to collect his force, but
failed, the soldiers refusing to march with
out first being paid off, and afterwards re-
fusing to fight against their Tamaulipas
brethren. Seeing this complicated state
of affairs, Escobedo resigned, declaring his
inability to put down the Tamaulipas revo-
luton.
The Government forces at Vittoria, under
Lopez and Montescinos becoming democrat
lied, disbanded, q large portion of them
joining Vargas.
1t is believed that by this time Tampico
has pronounced as well as the other towns
in the State, and soon the entire State will
be in the hands of Vargas.
