military reasons his column. which was

to fall back on Muelle de Los Buevos,
where II arrived yesterday In perfect
order, with all military stores. Owing
to the difficulty OF transporting pro-
visions to the troops operating at

recently expressed to put down the

Madriz has issued orders looking TO
the recruiting OF soldiers In all the

ing pushed forward with the utmost
energy with the intention OF sending
