PRESIDENT HUERTA.

A writer in the “Fortnightly Review’ traces the career of President Huerta from his own personal observations and arrives ja.t the conclusion tha* whether Huerta be considered as ; general.or as a president, can be expressed in one word ; He is an Indian Huerta himself proudly says that h? is a pure-blooded Aztec. His friend claim for him that he has the virtues of an Indian—courage, patience, en durance, and dignified reserve. Hi; enemies profess to see in him some pi the vices of Indian blood. He is fur ther described as brave, taciturn, ; poor general, stern and cruel. Some of the things that were done to hi prisoners of war at the front werenough to curdle anyone’s blood Huerta Ims declared that ho is no afraid of the Americans. “We Mexi cans need not be afraid of any foreign nation. Did we not beat the Spaniards? Did we not also beat tin French, and the Austrians, and .tin Belgians, and all the other foreigi adventurers who came with .Maximilian? In the same way we would ha-vt beaten the Glingoes bad we had ; fair chance at them. To my mine there are only two real nations in tin world, besides our old Aztec nation Those nations are England and Ja pan.” •
