Colonel Mayer, who is mentioned as being con-
prisoner detained in Cuernavaca, is native OF the
Argentine Republic. He was formerly o lieutenant
colonel col r Of q, 2 colored regiment attached 70
Weitzel. While stationed at Ringgold barracks, on
the Rio Grande in 1866 he formed the acquaintance
OF ragged followers In Northern Tamaulipas, with
his headquarters at Camarg0. An intimacy sprang
up between him and that since famous chief, and
when, upon the expiration Of the term Of service Of
his regiment, he was mustered out, he accepted o
coloneIs commission In the liberal service. From
that time he took active part In all the operations
OF the combined liberal forces under Esc0bed0, end
ing in the surrender OF QueretarO Though q brave
man and capable 0flcer his advancement was re-
tarded by that jealousy Of foreigners instnciiye
in the breast OF Mcxicans. Upon the establishment
OF peace he was retained in the army with his old
rank, but was extremely bitter towards the govern
ment for Its neglect OF his claims. Counting too
under another, he attached himself to the istarred
rebellion OF Negrete, captured and is now held
prisoner. fortunate in not having been made vic
tim OF that carnival Of blood which followed, and
which Juarez has been compelled by public opinion
to stop. He will probably be sentenced to imprison-
ment or baniShed from the country.
