CELEBRATED 90 OF APRIL"

On the second of y pril, 1867 Gen.
PorfiriO DiaZ, now the president
Of Mex leo, gained a great victory
over the imperialists at Pueblo,
and which led to the capture of
Macmillan by general Marine
EscobedO at QueritarO soon after
and on the - of June, he andMira-
mon and MeXia were shot, and the
Republic restored.
The second of April is a national
holiday. At sunrise Sunday morn
ing the military bands played on
the IaragOZa plaza, again from
8 a. IN. to II m, and on the POrtl-
rio DiaZ Alameda from to 6 p. m
and from to II III. on the IaragO-.
"a plaza. At night it was illumi-
mated with chinese lanterns and
electric lights. Flags were flying
from the mast head of the Federal
state and municipal offices; the
Americans, Spanish, German and
Italian cOnsuls flags, flying to the
breeze also.
BET ON CLEVELAND.
Capt. John ROssiter, a prOmi-
nent railway man and miner, was
one of the lucky men who bet his
money on Grover Cleveland in the
last election. AS soon as the news
reached here that Cleveland was
nominated he predicted his elec-
ton and he backed it up by bet
ting $3.50 on him which of course
he won. The captain has been
very lucky for many years; for it
seems that every thing that he
takes hold of he comes out on top.
He was the only Democrat in
Monterey that put any faith in
Cleveland and he feels confident
that he will retire from the preSi-
dency with a bettor record than
any Of his predecessors.

anhtemOc," or the Circumference
