The following extract Of a letter from an
American at Mazatlan, Mexico, under date Of
March lC, written several weeks previous to
the commencement of beligerent operations on
the Rio Grande, is SO prophetic Of the present
position Of our Government that we lay it be-
fore our readers. 1t it from a correspondent OF
the St. Louis ReveilIe, and il is too late yet
to take advantage of the good advice contained
therein, Speaking Of the Mexicans, he suys:-
"Yet continually divided agains: each other,
there is no doubt that these people would unite
to a man to oppose aforeign invasion. ItloOks
something like it now from the United States.
# you do on Mexico, | hope you
will hit hard and soon end il. Send in large
and diciplined army, and end the thing at once,
/ am afraid that ~thesovereign contempt felt in
the United States for this people may prevent
your operating with sufficient care and force;
and then will ensue a burning disgrace.
The great mass Of these people take little part
or interest in revolutions; but invade them
and it will be found that the Rancheros can
fight and tCiH fight desperately, not by a regu-
lar stand, but by system ofannoyancep-sud
den attacks, and by cutting off supplies-that
anarmJ four times as large as that at Corpus
Christi would find it difficult to foil. The ma
ture Of the ground generally in this country is
favorable to this / say, ifyOu do com down
upon them strike a death blow at once-give
them breathing time, and they will become for
midable. Invading a country Of nine millions
of people, is not to be done with six thousand
mon, with any gOodOr creditable result, They
might march farinto the country; butt it would
be like the marchof Pharaoh between the divi-
ding waves Of the Red Sea-advance or retreat
would be cut off forever,p &C., &c.

The undersigned, Secretary of
State Of tie United States, has the
honor to acknowledge the receipt Of
the note of Mr.. Packenham, her
Britanic Majesty's envoy eXtraordin-
airy and minister plenipotcntary, da-
ted the eth ultimo, by which, I'M
der instructions from his govern
ment, he proposed to the govern
ment of the United States "thc cx-
pediency of referring the whole CUES
ton of an equitable division Of that
the Oregon territory to the arbi-
tration of some friendly sovereign
or state"
The undersigned has submitted
this note to the president, who, after
having bestowed upon it that re-
spcctful consideration so eminently
que to any proposition emanating
from the British government, has in
structed Him to give to it the fol-
lowing answer:
The British government do not
propose TO refer to arbitration the
question Of the title to the Oregon
territory, claimed by the two pow
crs respectively. It's a proposition
to refer to friendly sovereign or
state merely the partition or "equi-
table division" of that territory be-
tween the parties. 1t assumes lhe
fact that the title Of Great Britain
to portion of the territory is valid
and thus takes for granted the very
question in dispute. Under this
proposition, the very terms of the
submission would contain an ex-
press acknowledgment of the right
OF Great Britain TO a portion Of the
territory, and would necessarily
preclude the United States from
claiming the whole before the arbi
traitor. This, too, in the face of the
note Of the undersigned to Mr.
Packenham, of the 30th of August
last, by which the president had as.
serted, in the most solemn form, the
title Of the United States to the
whole of the Oregon territory. Ever
if there were not other conclusive
reasons for declining the proposition
this alone would be deemed stuff

determined the British government
to instruct the undersigned, hen
Britannia Majcsty's envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary,
again to reprcsent in pressing terms
to the government of the United
States tie cXpcdiency of referring
tie whole question of an equitable
division of that territory to tie arLi-
tration of some friendly sovereign OF
state.
Her Majesty's government deep
Iy regret the failure of all their eff
forts to effect a friendly settlement
of the conflicting claims by direct
negotiation between the two 60
vcrnmcnts.
They are still pursuaded that
great advantages would have result
ted to both parties from such mode
of settlement, had it been practical
bic; but there are difficulties now
in the way in that course of proceed
ing which it might be tedious to re-
move, while the Importance of an
early settlement seems to become at
each moment more urgent.
Under these circumstances, her
Majesty's government think that a
resort TO arbitration is the most pru-
dent, and perhaps the only feasible
step which could be taken, and the
best calculated to allay the existing
elieryescence of popular feeling,
which might otherwise greatly en-
barrass the efforts Of both govern
ments to preserve a friendly I'M
derstanding between the two coun-
tries.
The government Of the United
States will see in the proposal,
which the undersigned is thus in
Structed to make, aproofof the con-
fidence Of the British government
in the justice of their own claim.
They will also see in it a proof of the
readiness of the British government
to incur the risk Of a great sacrifice
for the preservation of peace, and of
their friendly relations with the Uni
ted States. 1t is made in a spirit of
moderation and fairness, of which the
whole world will Judge.
The British government confident
~ hope that the government Of the
United States viii not reject a
proposal made with such friendly
intention, and for purpose so holy.
Tnere is nothing in it, they are
convinced, not perfectly compatible
with the strictest regard for the hon
or and Just interests Of both parties.
particularly when it is considered 0!
what small value to eitaeriS the por-
ton Of territory which in reality
forms the subject Of controversy,
compared with the Importance Of
preserving a state If peace and good
will between two such nations.

LONDON, January 5, 1913.
SIR:-l received on the Goth of
December your despatch, dated the
18th of that month and on the day
following sought an interview with
Lord Aberdeen, in order that in con-
formity with your instructions, |
might bring to his notice the war
like preparations making by Great
Britain, and, if possible, ascertain
their real character and object.
IN 1t will not escape you that, upon
such a subject, it is not always easy
to obtain very categorical answer,
or entirely definite official inlorma
ton; and | did not doubt that a
frank personal conference was
the best, if not the only mode OF
obtaining any satisfactory inlorma-
ton whatever.
In Introducing the subject, adj
verted, at the same time, to the in
formation the president had receiv-
ed, from a variety Of sources, of the
extensive warlike preparations max
ing by Great Britain, and the natu-
raj inference, upon his part, that in
the present pacific state of the rela-
tons of Great Britain with all the
powers of Europe, they could only
look to rupture with the United
States on the Oregon question.
Lord Aberdeen replied, very
promptly and frankly, that it would
be improper to disguise that, with
the sincerest desire to avoid it, they
were obliged to look to possibility
Of a rupture with the United States
and that, in such crisis, the warlike
preparations now making would be
useful and important; but he stated
at the same time, very positively
and distinctly, that they had no d.

The president heartily concurs
with the British government in their
regret that all attempts to settle the
Oregon question by negotiation have
hitherto failed He cannot, howe
yer, concur with that government in
the opinion that resort to arbitra-
ton, and especially to an arbitration
on the terms proposed, would be fol-
lowed by happier consequences. On
the contrary, he believes that any
attempt to refer this question to a
third power would only involve it in
new difficulties
In declining this proposition, the
president refers to the sentiment ex-
pressed in the note of the under
signed Of the goth August last, to
which allusion has already been
made, that he "cherisheS the hope
that this long pending controversy
may yet be finally adjusted in such
manner as not to disturb the peace
or interrupt the harmony now 50
happily subsisting between the two
nations"
The undersigned avails himself of
this occasion to renew to Mr.. Pack
enham assurances of his distinguish
ed consideration.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, }

Wasatnythn, Frbr~ary4 A, 1916 :
The undersigned, Secretary of
State Of the United States, has the
Lonor to acknowledge the receipt OF
the note of Mr.. pakenham, her Bri-
fannie Majesty's envoy extraordina-
ry and minister plenipotentiary, da-
ted or the 10th ultimo, by which he
again proposes reference Of the
Oregon question to arbitration IN
der his present proposition the pow
ers Of the arbitrator would not, as in
his last, be limited in terms to the
division Of the territory between the
parties, but would extend to the
question Of their conflicting titles,
Tdere is, however, a condition an
neXed to TINS offer which exposes it
to the same objection, in point of
fact, if not in form, which was prom
inentiy presented in the answer OF
the Undersigned to Mr.. Pakcnham's
last proposal. This condition is,
"that if neither [party] should be
found, in the opinion of the ar5itra,
tor, to possess a complete title to
the whole territory, there should, in
that case, be assigned to each that
portion Of territory which would, in
the opinion of the arbitrating power,
be called for by just appreciation
Of the respective claims of each"
If the government of the United
States should consent to an arbitra-
ton upon such a condition, this
might, and probably would, be con-
Strued into an intlnatlon, il not a di-
rect invitation, to the arbitrator, to
divide the territory between the par
ties. Were it possible for the Pres
ident, under any circumstances, to
consent to refer the subject to arbi-
tration, the title, and the title alone,
detached from every other consider
alton, is the only question which
could be submitted. Ifnot confined
to a single point, so strong is the
natural disposition of arbitrator to
please both parties, that, in almost
every instance, whether of national
or individual controversies, they
make compromising award. We
have memorable example Of this
in our last arbitration with Great
Britain. Notwithstanding chat the
arbitrator, under the terms Of the
submission, was clearly and explic-
lily confined to the decision Of which
was the line Of highlands described
in the treaty Of peace of 1888, yet
instead of pursuing any range o
! Highlands whatever, he advised thai
