Brownsvilie, Texas, TO q friend In Mexico The let
tor was nrst published in the city OF Mexico and at
tracted much attention among the friends and ene-
mics Of all parties concerned:-
Texxie aud are among friends perfectly safe,
thanks 70 COD, and away from the clutches of our
prosecutors will refer briefly to the a,lar com
mencng with the disaster OF Charco Escondido.
You and all the world know That General Mnrtinez
was surprised and routed by reason or the worst OF
treacheries; but some circumstances are unEnown
which 1t Is only just to make puDllc IN order thai
our public men may know W hat may nave hannene6
in that place. When Geronimo Irevlno marched 70
Mexico General Toledo and had q conference with
him IN saltlllo AT which ne told us that later he
would take part with us III the revolutl0n thar he
could not aeier his journey, which was TO enable
HIM to nnd out the feelings In the capital; that at
all events, we counted upon NuevO Leon as se-
cure asylum To prepare our works. ana he
aided US Immediately and gave US letters
assuring US that he would never direct his forces
against Whatever should DO mis- resolution on his
return from Mexico. He returned at the time when
the prOhuncin7ntentO was made IN san Luis POtOsl,
and although the arrangements which he had made
with General Martinez and Agu.rre were Understood
1t was sUflcient 10 believe him identified with the
revolution, the public fact Of his having accepted
his having toasted in the banquet for the fail Of
Juarez; he made In reality the solemn promise TO
remain neutral In The question until he united his
forces to take an active part In 1t.
remember that AZ that time we received o tele~
gram from Zacatecas In which General Garcia de la
sure thing that the government had placed at the
disposal or General Trevih0 the OF $500 600 10
buy or one more OF the chiefs, aud tnat replied
by order or Martinez and Aguirre IN the following
terms:-The news is false; Treviho IL with us, and
incapable OF accepting such commission, which
would make him Infamous. All our chiefs
are worthy men and are not TO be bought You can
remain tranquil on that particular. Afterwards the
successes OF ''Lo de Viejo' and Puerta de la Cal'
took place. and many chiefs and officials ned into
NuevO Leon. although no evil could oyertake them.
General Martinez wrote to Geronimo TrevinO, giving
him notice that he had come TO the frontier aud
asked hin IL he could take towns OF the state,
but had no answer. he wrote Two or three times
more, urging hiln TO make frank declaration and
he received no answer. Finally he sent q commits
sion from Linares, and 1t did not RETURN Geronimo
Trevino advanced with his forces to this city, We
evacuated 1t, leaving MIN commission again; ana,
Notwithstanding we renamed encamped half

Behold, then, now tie combat OF Cfarco ESc0n-

forty-four chiefs and officials OF us VINO fell pri-
soners, we, who were maltreated by Geronimo
Treviho on being apprehended. some for deeds and
others (nyselr for words. The following day We
were furnished with two wagons. and in this man.

from The rancho Of Loblto, where we encamped to
wait for General ROcha Consequently we were sur

The rest or the day we passed Id SORROW because we
frequently received news tnat they were not @ nkey
TO give us rest. They told that General ROcha
asked for naf OF the prisoners lii order TO sh0os
them. Then he was satisfied with seven; afterwards
with twO and al last an officer came WITH the Or0er

me, In the centre Of strong guard, to the camp
where the forces Of Toen.lno were. Once there,

to carry out the execution carried their arms peIore

in my favor II IS certain that at ngnrfall the same

let me return TO the place, accompanied by an AID

Of 1t we suffered the greatest hardshlp5 We were
always placed all together In filthy and uncomfOrt~
able rooms, where scarcely eight persons could
be kept. Andres Martinez was wounded, ana yet
they had not the least consideration Ior him. This
gave us the idea Of writing letter TO Geronimo
! TrevlnO, giving him thanks for his behavior; he
surely comprehended the irony. because our situa
! ton grew worse from that moment, and every day
new means OF tormentinx us were invented.
We arrived at Monterey, alighted from the wagons
