by General Aguirre no announcement was made
against the federal government; but as the latter
has taken active measures TO put down this move
ment, new proclamation was issued against the
general government to which the former seem TO
have been but stepping stone. BY this most cum
ming and artful management, there appears con-
fronting the Government large force Of thoroughly
drilled troops as well 0ifcered armed and equipped
