Show PRIDE OF MEXICANS SUFFERS. Business-like Expedition of Americans Proves a Severe Blow. El Paso. The business-like expedition expedi-tion with which the Americans took Vera Cruz, the gateway to the capital of their country, was a severe blow to the pride of the Mexicans in this city, their dejection showing plainly in their races. In the offices of the rebel junta, officials of-ficials declined to accept the official statement from Washington that the big Mexican seaport had been exacuat ed, until bulletin after bulletin finally drove the truth home. Two hundred Mexican-Americana who organized a military company here a year ago met Tuesday night and voted to offer their services to the city in case of need, and to the national government in case of war with Mexico. |
