HEADQUARTERS or NORTHERN ARMYl
MAESTA, ALAvA, April 10, 1878. J
This morning we left Abarzuza at eleven O'Clock
and continued our march over the noun
tains to Muneta, village on the right bank OF the
Rio Urrcderra, where we arrived at two O'Clock.
after the men had been formed and furnished with
cartridges, as we knew that the column under
Salcedo was advancing towards u.s. We had just
finished our luncheon when sconndante" came
20 inform US that Salcedo was within half an hours
march or US. We at once crossed the Rio Urre-
| derra and took up our position between Muneta
ana Heraul, on both sides OF steep gorge the en-
trance to which was occupied by 400 men, under
Lieutenant Colonel Rada and Major Calderon,
while the gross was posted on the summit
on each side OF the gorge. BY the
| time we had taken up our positions the
vanguard OF the republican column arrived with
two pieces Of artillery at Muneta, and at once
opened fire, at about distance OF one thousand
metres, ON the battalion under Rada. Altogether
about dozen shots were nred but the shells all
burst In the air, more than two hundred metres
distant from the men, who replied only with
laughter and cries OF "Vipa Carlos Septtmo" After
having made this demonstration-vcry much to
troops retired to Muneta while we continued our
march southeast through the Pehas de San
fanatic. rs the romantic gorge OF the Rio Urre-
dcrra Is here named and, passing within a mile OF
Estella and half mile distant from the column OF
republican troops under Costa. followed the Rio
Ega to the village OF Ancin, where We arrived at
eleven p. M, completely deceiving the cnomy, who
fancied that We were returning to Abarzuza
REPUBLICAN, OUTRAGE.
We passed the night at Ancin, and continued our
march next day. April Q, to Santa Cruz dc Campera,
passing by tho bridge OF Arquias. OF which spoke
the other day as having been ordered to be de-
stroyed which order, fortunately, had been coun-
fernandez, and dining in Santa Cruz at the house
OF the Cure, our old acquaintance who In the de-
light Of hts soul at seeing US again. brought out
divers bottles or an excellent wine nc had kept in
his cellar for eighteen years. Here wc were made
acquainted with very dlsgrace.ul act perpetrated
| by the republican troops at Zuniga. TWO OF our
men, suffering from fever hal been left In Zuniga
bu. when the republican column arrived were
dragged from their BEDS severely treated and
Knocked about, their money and clothes taken
away, and lett In such Q state that it is a wonder
they survived the treatment they received. The
manner in which we treated the officer who
had been left behind In Santa Cruz under
similar circumstances the other day, when we
visited him anu offered to do anything for him,
and gave each OF his men, three in all, five francs
each, makes this un,eeling conduct OF the troops
appear all the more atrOcOus, and am afraid that
such acts will prevent the Carlists from behaving
so lcniently to those men of the troops who fall
into their hands as they have hitherto DONE The
Mayor OF Zuniga was also severely treated when
he attempted to interpose in favor Of the two Car
lists must confess that although came to Spain

as far as have seen is totally opposed to republi-
canism, and the fact does not surprise ~ when
see how the republican troops behave. They are
simple brutes recruited from the very drcgs Of
tho people, and their officers arc SO badgcred by
the government ut Madrid that they are driven to
measures that would disgrace an army lighting In
It's own country and among its own people. For
instance, for every shot fred within certain dis
lance from each village they levy a fine OF 500
francs; and while forbiddng all the conservative
journals TO print any news concerning the Carlsts,
except what Is contained in the republican papers
they permit such disgracefui language as the fol-
lowing taken from Los DeScantsados-The Shirt

plete social levelling Anarchy is only formula.
Community in all things, even from supreme power
| to the community OF women"
| The black nag is embroidered with the words -
"war against the family War. against property
| War against Cod"
Such are the sentiments protested or permitted
by the party which fatters its adherents with the
idea that IL Is establishing republic based on the
same principles as that OF the United States or
Switzerland could Ill columns OF the HERALD
with stories OF the atrocities committed by the re-
publican xoops, but refuse to give credence to
any reports and only narrate what can guar
antee and have personally observed. Seeing the
wounds OF the two soldiers aud the Mayor OF
Zuniga and hearing their story have no doubt
whatever Of the truth Of their tale, besides which
the frantic shouts OF all the people OF
Santa Cruz, when we entered for the
second time, abundantly proved their aver
sion to the troops who had left them
only day before. We also received In Santa Cruz
no less than $50 cartridges stolen from the troops
while quartered in the town by the women aud
children. The bells were also Immediately set
ringing, although this demonstration costs i've
hundred to one thousand francs each time the in
habitants thus disregard the Injunction OF Gen.
eral Nouvilas. Leaving Santa Cruz after luncheon,
we followed the high road, which we have done all
the way from within mile OF Estella. We arrived
at Maesta half fr Oxen and covered with snow, at
hall-past five. Here we have remained for the
night, and shall probably leave this afternoon
april 10Y for the province OF GuipuzcOa. where we
shall join Lcssagara, re-enter Navarro. and take
possession OF some cannon that have already
passed the frontier.

The troops not having made any NOV cement yes
terday, we quietly remained in Maesta till this
morning, when, having heard that Salado and Nou-
villas were approaching, General Dorregarry gave
orders to march, while l, mounted on my faithful
Rosnante, started or for vittoria, en- route Tor
Bayonne. For the first time since my arrival here
the sun shone the whole day Maesta is four
leagues and half from vittora, and these four
