The MesiIIa valley.

The question in regard to the set
Element Of the Valley is this. The
Mexican Government contends that
the Valley was settled by people from
Dona Ana-that Dona Ana belongs
to the Republic Of Mexico, and 50
does its people, and the right Of NIexi-
co to the Valley was never called in
question. Mexico acquired il from
Spain, and Spain stole it from the
chihuahua Indians. Now the ques-
lion is, whether the people living in
the Valley went there under the i'm
preston that the Territory belonged
TO the United States, or whether they
went there thinking Enormously OF
course. on this side Of the lina) that
the place belonged 10 Mexico? The
question Is pretty equally divided, and
now 1t remains to be seen how the
matter stands. The newspapers have
been trying to settle the dispute for the
last twelve months, and we verify
believe, THAT like all other questions !.
it gets more intricate, the more it is
discussed.
