HAVANA, Dec. 2.-Gcn. Mcjia, formerly
President Lerdo's Secretary Of War, who was
bauished from Mexico by Pornio Diaz, arrived
here Yesterday on the steamer from Vera Cruz.
He was called upon by the agent of the Associ-

freely on the state ot affairs In Mexico. He said
he resigned the vi Iistty Of War In August last.

Is untrue that he ever intended heading an Op-
position pirty against Lerdo, although he had
ample means and OPP rtunity to do So, having
been eleven wears at the head OF the War De
partment. lie does not believe that DiaZ will
succeed in remaining at the head OF the Gov

trarv.
Gen. Mejia having openly advised Dinz to oct

of the hanging of David Turley.
David Turley was executed here to-day
at the county Jail for the murder of VIM.

at the indisposition of Shaw to engage in
a fight with another man. Turlev drew a
revolver and shot at him three times.
killing him. Turley's guilt was never
questioned. The pleas set up for him
on his trial were drunkenness and emo
tional insanity, but they had little weight
with the jury. Strong efforts were made
to obtain Communication of sentence, but
the Governor could not be convinced
that this was a case in which he ought
to interfere and sent a communication to
this effect to the Sheriff. Turley had an
interview with his brother this morning.
He was afterward attended by Father
Seaman and several Sisters of Mercy and
was baptized and partook of the last sac
raments of the Catholic Church. Two
o'clock was fixed for the execution. At
that hour Sheriff Larue' and his deputies
took charge of the culprit. who walked
to the scatfold and took his place upon it
with singular composUre. vt the fatal
