II take pleasure in heartily approving
the conduct of Colonel Mckenzie as q
gallant act. The only course for the
security OF life and property on our side
of the Rio Grande is to do as Colonel
Mckenzie has done. T do not believe
that any boundary should exist between
the United States aud Mexico, whom we
are defending tie lives of our citizens
and protecting their property against
merciless band, to whom tbs name of
murderer. robber or thief applies as CO.
vering their deeds. The gallant act of
Colonel Mckenzie is best recorded in his
plain narrative of the event. can only
add that the Government ought to stand
by Mckenzie
The report and General Sheridan's en-
dorsement were forwarded to General
Sherman, and the latter endorsed it as
follows:
"The conduct Of Colonel Mckenzie is
fully approved. II the attack was made
on Mexican soil. as the report does not
indicate, it is clearly the duty of the
Mexican Government to complain; but
as the War Department has no oftieia
knowledge that such is the fact, we need
not take any action. Il is my opinion,
that when band of free-booters, MUIR
derers, robbers and outlaws make the re-
cognized boundary line between two na-
tions at peace q safe, guard for their
crimes, there can be no just cause for
dissention if the lawful forces of either
nation pursue them for the purpose of
capturing them, or ending their deeds OF
violence"
