With Del Norte dead and gone I fancy you thought your troubles ended. Me boy, you were wrong. Although you did not know it, old Guerrero was not the only one who obtained concessions in Eastern Sonora." "What's the man driving at?" growled Scott. "Is he here with another cock-and-bull story about land grants?" "It's no cock-and-bull story you'll find it," asserted the Irishman.
When I was last in the capital, Santa Anna was reigning supreme in the vice-royal palace, and Alvarez was supreme at Iztla, the capital of the Department of Guerrero, of which Acapulco is the sea-port town. The two chiefs had been long hostile to each other, but a gold mine, discovered upon the bank of the River Mescala, was "the straw that broke the camel's back."
Gómez Pedraza, the president whom Guerrero had deposed, was restored to fill out his own term; then, in 1833, Santa Anna was elected, but retired to his estate, leaving the vice-president Gómez Farías in power. He, like Gómez Pedraza, attempted reforms directed chiefly against the Church and the army, with the backing of the Federalist majority in Congress.

"He asked me what I came to Castro Duro for, and I told him that I had no other object than to visit Don Calixto Garcia Guerrero. "Astonishment on the priest's face. "'You know him? "'Yes, I met him in Rome. "'Do you know where he lives? "'No. "'Then I will take you.
Unfortunately, these one-act plays have destroyed the legitimate drama. Whereas Maria Guerrero, that charming actress, will have a run of twenty nights in a new play by Echegaray, a popular zarzuela will be acted hundreds of times in every town in Spain.
In particular, the school of religious music in Spain, thanks to Morales, Guerrero, and Victoria, will bear comparison with all that has been produced elsewhere of the highest and most cultivated description.
Almost simultaneously with his arrival in Chilpancingo, the capital of the State of Guerrero, almost the whole south of Mexico rose in rebellion. The military situation there was soon found to be so hopeless that Huerta was recalled to Mexico City.
