sent, he is only high private"

The Proposed American Brigade for Mexico

The movement is one Of great Importance,
and may result in complete revolution III
Mexico, and perhaps in the ascendancy OF
American interests In that country. liz Will
be q matter of interest to observe what course
the President will take in regard to this sub
ject. Will he permit the organization or en-
listment of military force III this country
for the service of the Mexican Government?
Some of the newspapers assume that he will
do 80. but there is doubt ~ to this. This
matter was decided not long ago III case
that occurred in California. A Mexican Con
sui undertook to raise troops there Tor the
service of his Government III IA civil war, aud
the United States authorities lnterterred and
arrested the procedure. The Enlistment
Act is 20 explicit in its language, that 1t can
not be got over or misunderstood.
The enlistment of the American force and
its organization are appointed 1t is added,
"a take place outside of the United States
territory, in order to avoid a violation OF oni
neutrality laws.
