In transating the following from the
Orl, the only Spanish daily newspaper
published in California, we cannot refrain
from commenting on, aud commencing
the American people for their tolerance
No other people in the world would per.
nit such tissue Of abuse without treat
ing the editor TO dose OF tar and icath-
ers, and in our humble opinion he would
richly deserve 1t; for though tho article Is
signed anonymously, he Is still RESPONSE
ole for 1t. Truly are the people Of this
frontier "long.suilering,' but we doubt
not few publications such as this will
prove the axiom TO pc correct, and that
patience will cease to be q virtue. In
fine, little udicious castigation to the
Otcl would probably teach him at least TO
be civil. Here is the article; 1t is dated
from the AlamOs, Sonora, Mexico, and
says
"AlthOugh the wires, denOminatcd By
you telegraphc, have not reached this
place, Is no preventive to the arrival OF
news now and then" Here is inserted q
would.bc Joke in Spanish, relative 10 such
news, which Is called a "JOrreg0 a,aey
Mnudo, - or "woolly lamb but which
cannot be translated into English with
any appreciatiyc meaning "The last Of
such news has alarmed us considerably,
for the reason that VIC understand that
all of us MeXicans are 10 be swallowed
up by cannbals ian animal we are ignor-
ant Of, and that these canniDals are called
Yankees. We are near dead with fear.
They have been painted to US so hideous-
", so detormed, that simple dcscr!p-
uon OF them Is enough 10 terrIfy ne.
Ii Is said they have the face OF 4 devil,
beard like unto our ram-goat, mouths as
big and spacious as hell. %. Jesus, Mary
and Joseph,l 1t Is said that dozen MeXi-
cans can be covered by the ball OF their
great toe alone. In fine, one OF these
animals entire resembles the end OF
rope, its sight being enough to cause Us
10 faint fatally. From this horrifying &C.
count you can well understand that we
are patiently waiting our last hour. We
hope for nothing more nor less than the
luck which tell 10 the lot Of Jonas when
he was swallowed by the whale, although
they say these Yankees are rather more
hideous, and larger, but one thing which
we have been informed OF has tended TO
lessen cur fear somewhat. and make the
dark perspective OF Our picture
more lively TO Our imagination;
this Ia, that they are slow, dull,
torpid brutes, but treating their victims
rudelv, obscenely and disgracetully-you
know the old axiom. Thus, since know
ing this vulnerable side, in order to de.
| fend ourselves, our panic>striken fears are
mixed with kind Of curiosity or temer-
| ity, and makes matters appear rather i'm
| probable. Yet, observing previous mani.
| festations, we are waiting with certain
| impotence. IL is also said, In this city
/ (Alamos, state OF Sonora there are a
considerable number of the bfutes, and
we are anxious 10 know the truth from
you whether our account OF them Is true,
and whether they are really going to
swallow US. Finally, in any event we
wish to be prepared. But you must be
quick, because they say these animal,
come on the wind at any moment; in that
case, our prayers and praises TO him on
high would be Of no value, tor they say
that besides their torpid, rude, obscene
brutality, they are nevertheless lively
animals. We will feel very much oblig
ed TO you for full Information, and IN re-
turn ask OF us what you please. We send
| you the following litany or solemn form
of public worship In order 10 see II by
this means we can appease or mitigate
the rage which disturbs these animals.
