There are several reports in regard to the death
OF Ex-Governor Diaz. The one which perhaps is
most generally believed is that he was pursued by
troops and shot by one Mr.. Cartas, a lawyer Of
Oaxaca, whom the Governor had sought to execute
IN December last but who escaped Another Is
that he was beaten to death by the Indians OF the
Pacific coast. 1t is more probable, however.
that ne was overtaken and shot by the
government troops who were sent in his
pursuit. after the occupation OF Oaxaca.
General Alatorre announces that the body OF Gov
ernor Diaz was brought into Pochutla, on the Paci
fc coast the 23d Of January Five OF the bandits
who attacked and robbed the train at Irola on the
2sth, station between Mexico and Puebla, have
been caught and shot, and their bodies suspended
at the above mentioned station in sight OF the pass
ing train.

The rumor was prevalent in this city on tie 20 tn

had been taken on the 25th after defeat OF General
Nerrs forces, near Fresnillo. 1t appears, as the
HERALD was informed by mail by the English
steamer that the rumor was not correct, as the
pa title and occupation OF Zacatecas did not occur

the Government forces was wounded, though 1t IS
asserted not seriously. The routed forces are said
TO have numbered not IRON niteen hundred men,

the immediate command or General Tolentine.
These have been incorporated with the forces OF
General Genoa. which number 1000 infantry and 200
