gave the impression he could not
agree with it's contents.
AS to Senor De La Barra's letter,
stating he would not be a candidate
for president or vice-president, the
rebel leader was greatly pleased, and
declared he would issue manifesto
later today, commencing Senor De La
Barra on his public spirit.

lay for the journey to Mexico City
