Your correspondent just had a conversation
with the sonaof General Ghawarra. HessayS his
father is not confined with the other prisoners,
but is at. the barracks near palace in this
city. He is permitted to see Instantly. He
told his sensvesterdagg that he didn't know why
he was imprisoned, unless it is because he was
proposed recently, as a. candidate for the gov
Eernorship of the. State of Morelus which he de-
clined, and General Pacheco, Minister of Public
Works, was elected instead This may have ex-
cited the animDsity of tine party in power
Mejia, one of the party arrested was Min
lister of Estates, or Secretary Of the Interior,
under the Lerdo government m 187475, and is a
very hononablei man He has, reeently been
elected supplementary member Of Congress from
two districts. General Diaz is believed to be
working for his release.
Jardon is a man always in opposition, and con-
sidered rather worse than any of the other,con-
spirators arrested He is a pure Indian. The
government cannot legally hang or shoot any Of
these prisoners but may apply this Icy fuga to
them, viz: send them out intostheco country, and
then let the soldiers shoot them as if trying to
escape. A prominent citizen informs me that
the officials claim to- have discovered an ex5
tensiYe plot to assassinate President Gonzales
Ghneral Porfrio, and all the leaders of the Tux
tepec party, the one now in power here
