Know ye that the general-in-chief has transmitted to me the following decree:

“That none of the functionaries invited by article 6 of the plan of Tuxtepec, as reformed at Palo Blanco, having manifested their adhesion to the same, I have thought proper to decree the following:

“The general-in-chief of the constitutional army assumes the executive power of the union, in conformity with article 6 of the Plan of Palo Blanco, for the period indicated hy said plan, for the exercise of that power by the provisional president.

“National Palace, Mexico, November 28, 1876.
