Don Antonio Coronel, of Los Angeles,
one Of the leaders, related to me, re-
Gently, the following historical Incl
dents: :.
The principal cause of the pronunci-
amento was because of Capt. Giles
pies tyrany. He had been left in COM
,nand at Los Angeles after the country
had been surrendered. He declared
martial law, and arrested people for
trivial causes. One night his negro
cook, whom l had befriended. come to
my house and told me that Gen. Flores,
myself and others were to be arrested.
We at once organized. gathered all
the old pieces Of iron, took them to
the Mission San Gabriel where they
were made into lances. Pieces of lead
were taken from tho roofs and melte,l
into bullets. We soon had 500 men in
the. field, many not having weapons,
but all had lariats-very effective in the
hands Of a Mexican. Sonora Juracercia
Reyes made some powder. Our army
then marched to meet Gen. Kearny,
and drive him out of the country.
II was appointed commissioner to
Mexico, to solicit aid to reconquer Cal.
ifornia. y l immediately started with
my escort, and, as there was not much
money in the country, took along u
cavalcade of about 500 horses for ex-
penses-to sell on the way. At the COL
orado river turned back because the
Indians had. heard of, my coming and
would have taken the horses. and
probably killed us. gave my dis
patches for the supreme government
to courier who eluded the Indians,
crossed the river and arrived safely in
Mexico. But it was no use.
..As was returning, and while near
San Diego, I heard that Gen. Kearny's
troops, which had just arrived there,
were maching north. Gen. Andres Pico
had command Of about 500 cavalry
men not far from San Pascual. I wrote
q note on the margin of q paper, and
sent It by courier. Gen. Pico doubted
my information. saying: impossible.
There are no more Americans; they are
ali at San Diegol' That night they:
captured my horses, but I escaped and
hid In the mountains for a few days.
y finally reached Los Angeles and was
in the battles of Paso de portfolio, on
the San Gabriel, and La Mesa. H.
."The battles Of, San Pascual were
fought on December and Z, 1886. The
first engagement was a. skirmish a
short distance from the Indian village.

the present seems an opportune time
for invoking the Monroe doctrine as q
means of support against European

this time. The statement iisamade by

New York, Dec. 21.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-The strong Americanism Of the presj-
dents message has given its character to
the week. Popular feeling was profoundly
moved. but, excepting in stock and cotton
markets, business was remarkably dull
and scarcely affected. Selling Of securities
held abroad was a. natural first impulse,
though the sellers 2re;not unlikely intttme
to discover that no other securities are
safer from international complications than
the American. Cotton has declined q quar-
ter, and wheat about two cents The mar.
kets in this country do not act upon the
theory that any interruption of foreign re.
lations is to be expected. Coming at time
when nearly all produce markets are in
active and industries unusually dull, the
disturbance has affected values much less
than might have been expected. Not be-
cause Of any foreign question. but solely
because of influences which have been in
continuous operation for months. prices Of
manufactured goods continued to decline.
There is no great change in boots and
shoes, though gradually lower prices are
offered, Leather still declines, though
hides ut Chicago are scarce and stronger.
Prices OF iron and steel have fallen abou:
three per cent. for the week and are now
three per cent. below their maximum
:. The stock market went all to pieces on
Friday and closed three dollars per share
lower than q week ago for railroads and
1925 per share for trusts. On Friday alone
the four more prominent railroad stocks
fell an average Of $5.62' per share. and the
five more prominent trust stocks $3.N per
share, much of the selling being Of Sc
curities largely held abroad.
Failures for TWO weeks Of December
show liabilities of $3.50. 451. against s., $40,
4Ol last year. and $u 679 996 for the same
weeks of 1892 Failures for the week have
been 377 In the United States. against $40
last year. and 90 In Canada. against IS last

They will go,.to. St. Peter and Roches-

The offer made by the city of Hast

eral one The city is to receive $500
for the site, which is 642 acres in ex.

at $50, 1000. The city agrees further to
put improvements on the site to the
value of $40. 600.

lice. The police authorities since the
outbursts of Tuesday have acted with
great 6rmness, and have succeeded in
