the volunteersthat they have been mlsled by

Yesterday, but partially subsidized in the even
ing when il was known that the danger had
been averted lby the 6rmnesS of Dulce.
The plaus of the volunteers were discovered
early in the day, and the officers went among
the men and eXhorted them TO abstain from
violent acts and obey the authorities, but the ln-
huence of the officers was not strong enough,
and il is certain that the resOlute conduct OF
Dulce and of General Espinas, of the regular
AMY, alone prevented the commission or dis
graceful acts.
