| ,Lc United STATE. and Mexican
| Commission ha: nov iiuailv resumed
is business and viii doubtless dispose
| CT all the cases OF tie docket bv the
/ expiration of its extended Germ. With
| III the last two months the commission
have decided at least one hundred
| cases, including an adverse decision in
! the case Of Daniel L. Woodhouse,
| against Mexico, known US the Tehuan-
! tepec claim, il which the Rcttlier
stated the amount of damage at over
| five hundred million dollars.
The claim of Mexico for twenty
seven million dollars Oh account of
damages from Indian incursions is
now il the hands OF Sir Edward Thorn
ton, the Umpire, the Amer can and
Mexican Commissioners being divided
in opinion.
Mexico claims that under tho treaty
Of Guadaulope Hidalgo, the United
| States pledged themselves to forcibiy
| restrain Indian incursions into her ter
r:tory and that whenever such raids
could not be prevented, the Indians
should be punished by our govern
ment and satisfaction for the same ex-
| acted.
| The United States on the contrary,
insist that our government could not
promise to do for Mexico more than
it was required to 90 for our own cit
| lzens end therefore no damages could
! be claimed.
! Should, % 1t is expected. the Umpire
i decide against Mexico in the pending
case, Mexico will present the same
principle as an answer to the United
! States, for The claims Of damages to
I citizens OF TeNas, growing out OF the
! locursions OF Aiezican5 into that State
on the Rio Grande border.
