Letter
Lewis D. Campbell to William H. Seward, May 31, 1867
[Telegram.]
Mr. Campbell to Mr. Seward
New Orleans, May 31, 1867.
News from Vera Cruz, via Havana, just received, confirms fall of Queretaro and capture of Maximilian and his whole army on 15th. Mexico and Vera Cruz still held by imperialists. Same news from Matamoros by steamer just arrived. Matamoros and Brownsville papers publish Tejada’s reply to my despatch in full, and report that Maximilian and his generals were shot on the 16th. The latter report I consider unreliable.
LEWIS D. CAMPBELL.
Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
