OlTY OF MEXICO, nay 20, 1910.
This afternoon an express arrived from Que
re taro, bringing the news that the Senate had
approved of the treaty, with the notifications
made by the u. S. Senate, by vote to 80 TO A.
The Commissioners on the part of the United
States arrived in Queretaro about an hour after
the passage of the treaty, and ratifications will
probably be exchanged to-day or tomorrow
Every thing is in readiness for the movement
of the troops, and the LIST Division, il is
thought, will leave on Tuesday or "Wednesday
next. The Commissioners are not expected
TO make any stay i'm Queretaro, and will pro-
badly be here by the time the troops commence
leaving.
In my last spoke TO you Of an expedition
that was In prepare tion 10 assist the white
population of Yucatan against the Indians
That enterprise-which of course is entirely
disconnected with the Government-has as
sumed definite shape. The following card,
published in the Star, has drawn number OF
volunteers to the standard, among whom may
be mentioned Col. Geary, of the I'd Pennsyl-
vanians, and Lieut.. Col. Whitfield, of the 81
Tennesseeans. The former is spoken of as
military commander Of the expedition. Whole
companies of the Pennsylvania, New York and
Tennessee volunteers are said to be ready to
re-enlist for SO laudable purpose, and many
will expire in short time, have expressed
| their willingness TO join the party. One ar
tillery non-commissioned officer is busily en-
deavoring 10 raise an artillery company, anc
appears sanguine OF success; artillery is said to
be in readiness at Campeachy and Sisal. There
are two commissioners from the Yucatan Gov
eminent at present here, who came on for the
i purpose of soliciting aid from the Mexican
lGovernment, and they encourage the sche mt
in every way. They say that the revenues o
the Government will be pledged for the pay
ment of the men, and that each individual viii
receive bounty of GAO acres of fine land.
For YUcATAN.-A number OF young men be
longing 10 and accompanying the American
army in Mexico, have expressed a strong de-
sire 10 60 TO the assistance OF the whites in Yu
catan. With me many have enrolled theil
names, and party of four or five hundred Car
easily be made up. Those who wish TO spenC
the summer in delightful county rather than
return to their homes in the dull season, Cal
find no better place In which to do so than in
YucataD, while at the same time they can as
sst the whites against the merciless Indians
and benefit themselves UNNECESSARILY
Aleiter received from Mazatlan on the Pa
cific, representing the coast there is unhealthy
and the uncertainty of vessels to California
has caused that expedition to be abandoned
land many who had enrolled themselves for tina
country have transferred their names to tn,
fucatan list Information as TO the full OBJ
ject of the expedition, the character of. th,
Icountry, &C. will be readily in.parted By tn,
undersigned, at the Star Office. -.
