It is the custom of the don- stitutionalists and Federals alike, this writer says, to execute all tho general and field officers who bre captured; sometimes other officers, and even men. They justify this by reference to a law of 1882 against fomenting treason. Eich side calla the otherside "traitors," and the only course to take with a traitor"that is, a man who differs from your view is to: shoot him. These things go to explain the executions which are so frequently being reported just Dow, and against which the American Admiral has protested
in the name of humanity." It is no more possible, apparently, for the Mexican, to suddenly change his nature and ideas of warfare than for the chamelion to change his skin or the leopard bia spots. While it is doubtless tue that numbers of them are fighting a principle, it is equally true that, as has been the case in Chion, the number who fight with the sole object of acquiring loot is
qually numerous. It the oir.. cumstances there seems very little prospect of an early termination of the anarchy prevailing in Mexico.
