Mckenzie and the Cattle-rhfeves-
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The following
Is a text of the telegram received at the
Mexican legation from the vice-consul
at SaaAntOnio, dated Thursday last: 81
have seen letters stating that on the sew
enteeutIl instant General Mckenzie
crossed the Rio Grande above Pedras
Negos with five hundred horsemen and
attacked Lipaus Moselleros, and party
of KickapOOs, killing nineteen, taking
more than thirty prisoners and captur-
ing a great many horses. Mr.. Marekal,
moi vet had an interview with the de-
Uartment Of State on the subject, but
will await further particulars before call
ing on the secretary for that purpose.
General Sherman, as long ago as 1871
in a letter 10 secretary Belknap said these
sundrv eruptions from Mexico, have
been of frequent occurrence, and the
Rio Grande being fOrdable, gives In
dians certain and safe retreat, as We
cannot properly cross the border in per-
sniff. Mexico ought to be made liable
for acts Of war done by Indians coming
under her allegiance, and our people
charge that these Indians are not only
harbored, but horses and cattle are
OPENLY sold in Mexican towns beyond
tie Rio Grande, and the general added
that "this case appears TO me
clear one for the State department
as we are unable to apply a remedy" ="
The state department accordingly acted
i'm the premises, but has been unable
To obtain redress.
The President is reported as saying to-
day, though unofficially, that the time
had come for some positive and definite
action in regard to the Outrages on the
Mexican border, and that if the Mexican
government applied for an explanation
of the recent reported action of the mill
tary. il might be shown 10 have been
unsuitable, as the Mexican government
10 given no redress for such outrages
I,sreto. ere, and manifested but little il
~, Jisno ~ttiOn TO prevent. A member
IN csbin.* retOTted to-day, with ref
-. o-a,,,a - 20 tbe ,~ported violation of the
NeTican treaty., that it was not al
yTays easv to distinguish the boundary
line Int that there was m room lor mis-
takes when the depredatary ihdlahs
were overtaken. 1t is therefoie lnIerIeu
that this government will not ,e als,
posed TO censure General Mckenzie, Su'
rather approves his contract altnOush
he acted on his own responsibility
He is held in the highest esteem py MS
army associates, both as a soldier ana
gentleman. He is only about thlr ty-tWo
years of age, being the youngest onlcer
gjth the full title VI colonel in the army
The collector of customs at Indianola
to-day telegraphed to the tresury depart
ment for information respecting his duty
in the case Of the animals captured by
Colonel Mckenzie, desiring to know
whether he should hold them
as contraband of war. Similar in
quiries were made of the State depart
ment, and the secretary OF the treasury
responded to the kilograms that the
captured animals should remain In the
custody Of the military authorities.
rhere are no advices here, official or
otherwise, whether the stock belongs to
Indians OF MeXieaRs, or whether it was
originally American property which had
been stolen by Indians.
