DOUBTFUL NEWS ABOUT DIAz.
General Por6rio Diaz is said to have been
heard from as being in the State of Jalisco

doubtful, as General Trevino, who, if Diaz

ceived no official information to that effect.

proclamation addressed to the inhabitants Of
Matamoros in anticipation of his attack on the

authority illegally. My mission here is to de-
stroy the war material collected by the despotic
administration of Juarez in your heroic city,"
General TreviHo then goes on extolling the
salor formerly displayed by the inhabitants Of
Matamoros, promises protection to peaoeable
citizens, guarantees to fulfil the claims and to
Uphold the interests of the entire frontier. AT

TO defend government (meaning that Of
Juarez) which has injured and brought dis
grace upon the republic in every respect-in
Its domestic affairs as well as in its foreign re-
tations.
