rebels was more complete and disastrous
than hitherto known. Trevino and Mar.
tinez, the revolutionists, quarrelled q
month ago, and since have not co.opera-
ted with each other. The revolutionists
are generally demoralized and It is expect
ed they will evacuate Caramargo aud the
whole border very soon. RoCha is pro-
badly now marching on Mazatlan, where
he will attempt TO capture Diaz. Arms
are said to have been accumulated there
by the revolutionists. General Zepeda
defeated the rebel cavalry on the 18th

offer q safeguard for the future, whilst
fully recognizing the desirability Of united
action on the part OF all English share
holders. For this purpose my committee
