the three signatory powers bound
themselves to occupy jointly the coast
fortress OF Mexico, and without modi-
tying the territory OF that country. to
put its people in a position to estab-
lish a government of their own.
In Dec, 1861 the allied fleet arrived
off Vera Cruz. followed in January
by the three commissioners of the
three powers.
The British marines occupied San
Juan de ulua, while French and Span
ish troops moved respectively to Te-
huacan and Orizaba. The claims of
the powers being recognized, and a
promise OF a settlement of the debts
made Britain and Spain withdraw
their forces. The French repudiated
the agreement and remained; were
reinforced and what practically was
an attempt to subjugate friendly ma
tion, without even the preliminary OF
a declaration of war, was begun.
During the French occupation, ow-
ing to its unhealthiness. Vera Cruz
was garrisoned by Egyptian soldiers,
lent to the emperor OF France by the
Khedive.
With tne departure of the French
and the mournful end of the empire
at Queretaro June 10, 1867, at last
new era began to dawn for distracted
Mexico.
On January !. 1873 the railway be-
tween Vera Cruz and the capital was
opened This road, now known as
the Mexican Railway, is an English
corporation. The first concession
was given in August %, 1897, and the
present company began operations
under an act of congress Nov. 10,
1868, the present road being opened
to the public January %, 1873.

THE DEAF PRINTER.
From Wedn esdsrsa Daily

The following special dispatch from
Boulder to the Denver Republican will
recall TO many Duengoites the deaf
printer who worked az the Herald
and about town several years ago;
'Otis Vance, the deaf mute printer
who left here few days ago has been
heard from A dispatch from Pueblo
says he had reached that place, that
he ras going on the road today, but
that he refused TO tell which way ne
was going"

been a iiterateur had he Rot parted

mediately surrendered, he should
lombard it. This was refused and a
tremendous rain of shot and shell Was
thrown into the unfortunate town,
both from the batteries ashore and
from the fleet off Cape Hornos. In
five days 100000 pounds of missiles
were hurled into the devoted city and
was awful. The terrified Inhabitants
deposed the valiant Morales and elect
ed Jose Landero to succeed him, who
promptly surrendered both the city
and Ulua.
SCOTS mastery movement upon the
capital is too well known to need
repetition here. Peace was finally
concluded in 1S4S.
In 1858 Benito Juarez, VINO, although
constitutional president of the Repub-
lie, duly elected, was obliged by rev.
ol1tionists to abandon the capital and
arrived in Vera Cruz. where he main
tanned his government three years, in
spite of his enemies attempts to dis
lodge him. General Miramon at one
time personally directed one of these
attempts.
The attention of three great Euro
pean governments had now become at
tracted TO the lamentable condition
of affairs in Mexico Britain, France
and Spain had seen, with disgust, that
the continual anarchial struggles in
the so-called republic were not only
ruinous to the best interests of Mexi-
60 itself, but We're especially fatal to
the different enterprises owned by
theiG subjects in the country.
The climax. however was reached
when on July II, 1861. congress pass
ed law suspending payment on the
foreign debts of the republic. The
treaty of London followed, by which
