clio Gonzales Sevriano Julian, and Rusticard Jose
Pena, and distributed only among those believed
10 be in sympathy with the cause 1t outlines
the policy of the provisions OF a now government
and the plan of revolution. This MOnunciamonto
says the revolution is for the purpose Of over
coming the "dcspotisn and tyranny Of President
Diaz" and returning the country to its consti-
tutional order. The Mexican Nation is declared
to be in state of siege, and for the proper execu-
ton Of this siego the Mexican people are called
10 arms TO be called tho Constitutional Army. and
its motto shall be the Constitution Of 1857 and
National integrity. The pronunciamentn also

Inquiry The Deputies seemed suddenly to have lost

ness and reckless accusation Doubtless the scandal
bad enough, but the bad Judgment Of the Chamber
had fostcrcd erroneous conceptions among the people
of its magnitude. Such excessive Outburst Of
prudary must have It's reaction and thus defeat many
OF Its own ends. The most extravagant hopes had
been raised among the dieoyal parties by the recI-
cssncss shown in the Chamber. and the whole fabric
Of tho Republican institutions in France had been on
danScrcd. Unless great care and tact were exercised
constantly IN the next few weeks. the men who had
behaved SO fanatcay might have startling proofs OF
