! MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA.
There has been no material change In
relations with the Independent States of
this hemisphere which were formerly UNI
der the dominion OF Spain. Marauding on
the frontiers between Mexico and Texas
stu frequently takes place. despite the vi =
llance OF the civil and military authorize
in that quarter. The difficulty OF checking
such trcspasses along the course OF river
| of such length as tn. Rio Grande. and 80
! often fordablc. is obvious IL Is hoped
| that the efforts of this Government will be
seconded by those of Mexico to the effect
ual suppression of the acts of wrong From
report upon the condition of the bushes,
! before the American and Mexican Joint
| Claims Commission. made by the agent on
the part of thu United States. and dated
| October %. 1874. it appears that of the
loi. claims filed on the part of citizens of
the United States 4S3 lad been finally de-
cided, and 10 were in the hands of the UNI
| pire. leaving 462 to be disposed OF, and of
the 99S claims filed against the United
| States 126 had been disposed Of finally. one
was before the Umpire ana 27l remaiLcd
! Ia be disposed Of Since the date of such
! report other claims have been disposed OF,
4 reducing somewhat the number still md
/ ing, and Others have been passed upon by
the arbitraiors. 1t has become apparent,
! in view of these figures aud of the TACT that
| the work devolving on the Umpire is par
| ticularly laborirus, that The Commission
would be unable TO dispose of the entire
number of claims pending prior 10 the Gr>t
/ day OF February. 1873. the date fixed for

| looking to the securing of the result, OF
! the decision which have been reached aud
/ IL further cNiention OF the Commission
/ for Hunted time. which 1t i confidently
| hoped will suffice To bring all the business
now before il 10 a final conclusion.
The strife IN the Argentine Confcdcra-
| ton is to he dcplored both on account OF

effect on the interest of those engaged in
