WASHINGTON CRY, June 16, 1916.

The independent press is now viewed as the only
vehicle, through which TRUTH without palliaton or
exaggeration, can be communicated TO the public
The partlzan presses, both whig and locofoco, dis
tort every thing that passes through their columns,
md the most simple matters of fact, are made to
assume the jaundlced hue Of party, with view TO
delude, instead of enlightening the public
A considerable degree of interest is now mani
tested by the public, on the subject of the two mis-
sing nstalments of the Mexican indemnity, which
were paid to the agent of the United States on the
9th of August last 1t is thereby ascertained, that
the Mexican government holds complete acquit-
ance from the agent but a doubt has arisen in the
mind OF this government, whether it is bound by
the acts OF its agent--lt being alleged that he did not
receive payment In money. | enclose tor the graft
fcation OF your readers. copy OF the power under
which the agent acted, together with definition of
the word money, extracted from the standard work
of the far-famed photographer, Noah Webster, in
order that correct opinion may be formed in re-
gard to the liability of this government. As the
present cabinet is evidently somewhat verdant in
the principles OF law, which govern exchange and
commerce, il is hoped some one of your erudite
lawyers in Wall street, will irradate the benlghted
understanding OF the inexperienced members who
compose It, by. giving an opinion through the
columns OF the independent press, that will set the
matter at rest, and tranquze the public mind.
