F HELBY AND MAXIMILIAN. ——— wy of the Old Warrior’s Two inten With Mexico’s Emperor. ‘Thousands avd bundred s of thous- pois there are who know thebistory ia geveral of the fail of Max-milian, | w-xico and of the Ewperore’s tragic , and death, but few are there here or auy where, who know that of the leading actors in the gene of the downfall was a Kansas man. It was at the time of the crisis General Jo O. Shelby was in esico, at the head of some 40,000 jooricaa fighters. These he offsred Emperor Maximilian, but he re- them and his Empire fell. When Shelby arrived in Mexico fe treasury was empty Maximilian ped been ruling for a year. The |over whom he rules nor any of the He does not understand the people| dangers which beset him.

When the struggle cam~ that Suelby had so bluotly and plainly predicted Maximilian in the midst was or Fronch held everything worth hold ng excepting that Mexican brigand ge ruled and grew. No effort of the French could stop it Maximilian’s porsbal, Bazaine, ruled the military qith a reigo of death. Suspected pen were shot everywhere, without fhe formality of a trial Maximilian madispleased. His heart was with the Mexicans aod he remonstrated with the marshal, but to no purpose, god finally there was an estrange ment Shelby saw all these things, and planned an interview with the Emperor. Commodore Maury and General Magruder arranged it for him aod Maximilian met him with qrident fraukness and sincerity. The tory is best told in Jobn N. kd wrda’ “Life, Writings and Trib- lin” The marshal was present and Count de Noue wae interpreter. Shelby’s plans, as he laid them be- fore the Baperor, was to take im mediate service in the empire, recruit scorps of 40,000 Americans, encour- age immigration, develop the re sources of the country, consolidate the government against the with drawal of the French soldiers and hold it till the people became tecouciled to the change The Emperor simply listened with interest, and that was all. “It is only a question of time, your maj-aty,” eaid General Shelby, “till the French soldiers are withdrawn ” Bazaine smiled a little, and the Emperor asked: “Why do you think wt” “Because,” said General Shelby, “the war between the States is at an end, and Mr. Seward will insist on a tigorous enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. France does not desire a conflict with the Uuited States I left behind me 1,000,000 men in arme, not one of whom has yet beeu discharged from the service. Tne nation is sore over this occupation, and the presence of the French is a perpetual menace. The matter of Which I have spoken to you is per- fecily feasible I bave authority for taying that the American govern ment would not be averse to the qmlistment of as many soldiers iu your army as might wish to take service, and the number need only be limited by the exigencies of the empire. I think it absolutely neces sary that you should have a corps of foreign soldiers devoted to you per fonally and reliable in any emer gency.” Commodore Maury aud General Magruder sustained Shelby’s views of the case, and he went on: “I have under my command at present about 1,000 tried and ex perienced soldiers. All of them hav’ seen much severe and actual service, and all of them are anxious to enlist in support of the empire. With your permission, and authorized ia your name to increase my forces, I can in afew months make good all these Promises I have made you bere to day.” But the Emperor was silent. Aris ing, he talked in aside with De Noue and went. “It is no use,” said De Noue to Shelby, after the Emperor had left the room, “the Emperor is firm on the point of diplomacy. He means to try negotiations and correspond ence with the United States His sole desire is to give the Mexicans a good lenient yet re to develop the heves he troops. is a reasons from the rt instead of from the head.

Mothers, knowing that they, too, would be killed, begged that their deaths should come before that of their children, but the brutes would not listen to their entreaties. They cut the children to pieces.
