Tucson, AriZ., Dec 16 1903.
 To the editor of The eRpublican. Sir: - was told today that in one of your editions of a week or two ago, it was published that l had been dismissed by my government, but it is not true.
 All throughout Arizona, and especial " in that city, it is very well known that I have great many enemies. and as in this city they also started a new crusade against me. l sent a communI- cation to the president of the republic of Mexico manifestin% to him that it was impossible for me to remain here. The president understanding this very well, kindly eXonerated me from Tue son instead of accepting my resigna- ton, therefore the secretary of state of foreign affairs ordered the nearest con- sul who was MT. Agustin Pima, to take charge of this office which I was vaca- ing.
 Considering this kindness on the part of the president, I have made up my mind not to go to Europe as before stated. but will first go to Mexico City to thank the president and explain to him all the plots which have been laid against me by my enemies. some of whom are also Tn the employ of my government.
 I wish you would please be kind enough to publish this statement in your well esteemed paper. as l want it
