| DR.. d. Fl. Williams, who has resided in

| DR.. Williams confirms the capture of the
| Mexican Indian chief Lasada. It was be-

DR.. Williams thinks there will DO no

thinks the Mexcans will use Mackenzie's
exploit as precedent and follow home
marauders into United States territory.

| desirable, as it would lead to tho carving
| out of another tat slice from the sick man

leading parties on the Mexican side Of the
Rio Grande which may lead to negotiations

line. and by which she will be able to pay

hula chihuahua, north end of Durango.
Sonora. an dLower California, known as the
Mexican frontier States. This would
shorten the boundary line One.half the
present meandering Of the Rio Grandc, and
leave a frontier that could be much more
easily protected by both nations. whereas
it is almost impossible TO do SO with the
present boundaries. II would be a vast
territory. with fine irrigable and mineral
lands and pasturage which are now nearly
worthless to Mexico.
