New Mexico is a frontier province, and
has never been of any considerable value 10
Mexico. From its locality, it is naturally
connected with our western setllemeuls.-
The territorial limits of the State of Texas,

sion into cur Union, embrace all that portion

Not approaching our forbearance, the
Mexican people generally ! ecame hostile to
the United States, and awaited themselves Of
every opportunity to commit the most say
age eXcesses upon our troops. Large MUM
hers OF the population took up arms, and en-
gazing in the Guerrilla warfare, robbed and
murdered in the most cruel manner individu-
al soldiers or small parties whom accident or
other causes had separated from the main bo-
dy -four army. Bands of Guerriilas and
robbers Infested the roads, harrassed our
trains, and whenever it was in their power
cut off our supplies.
The NleXicans having thus shown them
selves to be wholly incapable Of approaching
our iorbearauce and llberality, it was deemed
proper to change the manner of conducting
the war, by making them feel its pressure
according TO the usages observed under SIM
liar circumstances by all other civilized ma
tons. Accordingly, as early as the 22J OF
September, 1916, instructions were givenh ~
the Secretary Of War to Major General Tay-
Ior, TO draw supplies for our army from the
enemy, paying for them, and to require con-
trlbutions Tor lis support, il in that way he
was satisfied he would get abundant supplies
for his forces. Ia directing the execution Of
these instructions much was necessarily ltil
to the discretion Of the commanding officer,
who was best acquainted with the circum-
stances by which he was surrounded, the
wants of the army, and the pIacticability Of
enforcing the measure.
