look for Mexico.
At the banquet given by General
Naranjo TO General Stanley at the Mis-
| sion garden Tuesday night, General
Stanley arose and spoke to the company,
paying General Naranio many high COM
pliments. He had known the general
many years before he had actually met
him, and entertained the warmest ap-
probation for him. During the war Of
the French Intervention In Mexico, he
had admired him for his galIantry and
bravery in fighting for his country, and
after the war, as statesman and patriot,
his record, IL possible, Outshone his mill
tary career. His keen tact and forensic
ability in the administration of the
weighty business entrusted 10 him while
serving his country In Washington as
minister of war, was well known. The
American people had the interests OF
Mexico closely at heart, and he could
say that the sister Republic has friend
In the American nation, and an inter
national feeling was alive in our breasts
becsuse of the same institutions for lib
erty obtaining in both countries. He
expected these friendly relations
always to remain so. He wished the
general and party pleasant time on
his Intended journey through the United
States, and hoped he would make
close study of our people and our lnsti-
tutions as he passed and return home
well pleased.
The speech OF General Narango was
In Spanish and is translated here:
In replying he thanked General Stan
ley for his kind wishes and his admira-
tion. The manner in which he and all
his country had always been received
by General Stanley was superb. He
should at all times remember him and
would assure him of his deepest graft
tuae. During the civil struggles which
ever disturb the placid bosom OF the
country he loved so well, there was
always a certain fixed principle at stake,
and would like to explain this to the
minds of the American people, his
friends. During these struggles he had
always in view the fixed principles of
republican government, equal rights to
all men, and he had sought to establish
and put in practice these grand princi-
pies, which had made such u magnificent
success of the American nation. There
was yet a faction in that country, and
he said it in all. shame and humility,
which time and the changes it brings
would only obliterate. Sustained by
the arrogant clergy and portion of the
canO Is constantly seething and the lava
may burst forth at any moment and had
to be carefully watched by the patriots
of his beloved country. This will yet be
put down, and If time cannot accom-
plish this, yet, while he greatly depre.
Gated it, the strong arm Of the nation
would reach forth and crush the mon
ster Hydra. When this is down the re-
publican form Of government, the only
perfect government would be a fixture
In Mexico.
He congratulated the American peo-
pie on their great power and prosperity,
and their advancement In all the arts,
sciences and methods Of civilization.
The remarks of Genl. NaraniO were
listened to with great attention and
made good impression on the repre-
sentative Americans present.

ranjo, his personal attendants and fam
lily, and Mrs. EulOjia Lcal CARA, Of
