he Bocancgr the Mcxican Minister Is too long
for insertion in full, but wc present summary Of
H. most important and interesting points.
Ii j. dated at Washington, July Ssh, 1912, and
opens with dignifed rebuke of the diplomatic
and unusual mode IL which the letter of Mr.. de
Boranrsra had been transmitted to tie American
Government. Mr. Webster then says
But the riasucr Of the communication from Mr.
de- B0caacgra, however novel and extraordinary
j. less important than IL contents and character
which surprise the Government, of the United
State, by a loud complaint OF the violation Of its
neutral duties. Mr. de Bocan0gra speaking, as
BE- .ay. by the express order of the President OF
the Mexican Republic, declare, tina, the amicabIe
relations between th, two countries might have
been lamen,ably disturbed, since the year 1888,
when the revolution Of Texas broke out, had not
Mexico given many evidences Il It's .orboarance,
lnl made ~ many and 20 great sacrifices for the
sake Of peace, IN order that The world might not
see with pam. and amalemcnt two nation, which
appear destined to establish the policy and inter-
ests Of the American continent, divided and ra-
yaged by the evils OF war.
THIS language implies that such has been the
conduct Of the United States towards Mexico tina,
war must have eHsucd before the present time had
not Mckee made great sacrifice, to avoid such
rc.ulf--a charge which the Government Of tie
United States utterly denies and repels 1t il,
wholly ignorant OF any sacrifices made by Mexico
in order To preserve peace of any occasion call
ING on It's Government 10 manifest uncommon for
bcarance. Onthe contrary, the Government Of the
United States Cannot but be Of opinion that if the
history of the occurrences between the two Govern
mrns, the state of things this nom, At existing
between them, be regarded, both the one and the
other will demonstrate that il Is the conduct OF the
government of the United States which has been
marked, in all cspccial manner, by moderation and
forbear8ncc.
Ia, revolution in Texas, and the events conncc-
ted with il aud springiug out OF it, are Mr.. de
Bssaneera's principa topic and it is in relation
to these that his complaint l. founded HIS Gov
ernmeni ne SAYS tatiers itself that the Govern
meni of the UEied States has not promoted lnsur-
recton in Texas favored the usurpaion OF its ter
riorv, OF supplied the rebels with vessels, amrnu-
milton and money. If Mr.. de Bocancgra intends this
AZ a frank admission of the honest and cautious
neutrality of the Government Of the United States
in the contest between Mckee and Texas, he does
that government justice and no more than Justice
but if the language be intended to intimate an OPP
posic and a reproachiu meaning. that meaning Is
only the more offensive for being insinuated rather
than distinctly avowed.2
The letter then shows that since the hattie Of
San Jacinto Of April 1886, Texas has exhibited
the same external signs of national independence
a. Mexico itself and with as much stability OF
government 1t las been practically free and IN

next briefly ,kctchcded, and it Is declared that,
In the events leading 30 the actual results of
these ho.tlircs IL. United States had 40 agency

first abstancd from giving and or snccor 10 elmer

the iudependcncr of Texas only when that inde-
pendencc apparent and an aScefiained iaci
and its example m this particular has been tot

Mr.. Ds Bocanegra complains ir,tly,-Ihat
cirzcns OF the United States have supplied tic
rebels IN Texa. with ammunition, aims, 'cssels
money and r,cruits--have publicly raised forces
ID their cities. and h,ted vessels in their ports
loaded them with munitions Of war, ons marched
to commit hostilites against friendly nation,
unlcr the eve and with the knowledge of the pub
lie authorities.
But in all this he argues as # tie Independence
or Texas hal not been acknowledged, IN conse-
oucnce of which. the Government Of the United
States Of course allows and encourages lawful
trade mi commerce between tie two Countries
II articles contraband of war be found mingled
with this commerce. while Mexico and Texas are
