GOVERNMENT AND MILITARY COMMANDANCY OF THE STATE OF CHIHUAHUA—WAR SECTION NO. 39.
In a communication of the 11th instant, the civil and military chief of the canton of Camargo writes to this department as follows:
“Persons from Atotonilco report that three hundred French burnt that place yesterday, allowing families to leave. They say other places have been burned, Rancho de Palomas for instance, and it is not known whether the enemy will come on this way or go back.”
I send this for your information and consequent action.
Independence and liberty! Chihuahua, April 14, 1866.
LUIS TERRAZAS.
The Minister of War and Marine, Paso del Norte.
