The latest news from Mexico is to the effect
that Santa Anna was marching from San Luis
Potosi and the general impression was that he
contemplated an attack on SaltiIlo. 1t thought,
however, by some, that he was in truth on his

issued flaming address to his army, in which
he calls upon his "companions in arms" to "swear
before the Great Eternal that they will not wait
an instant in purging their soil Of the stranger
who has dared 10 profane it with his presence"


Santa Annals army of attack on SaltiIlo was

Mexican ranks and escape.

Vera Cruz The health of the troops at Tampi.
