tactics in Spain-that is, to punish with
death every Mexican who should attack any
American wandering out of the lines of the
army; but that if the Mexicans remember
that they have country, of which the A

tie Spanialds; that if Generals Taylor and
Scott have declared all Mexican bands Of gu
errlllas as outlaws, the Mexcans should like
wise declare the Americans to be banditti,
and, as in Spain, decide that ''lor every Mex
lean that should be treated as land pirate by
! the Americans. three americans ariUbeh hang
ed out of those falling into the hands of the
Mexicans."
