TaE TROUBLES on the Mexican bOrders
seem likely to breed serious difficulties
between the two nations. The latest
statement of the situation on the frontier
Of Texas is as follows:

vile special says news from Mexico
shows that a strong revolutionary spirit
is prevailing. 1t is now believed that
General Fuero will not come to the
frontier. The result of McNeeiy s fight
wa. thirteen Me1icans killed and one
wounded McNee!y's Company is en-
csmped near the point where the railroad
crosses Res.ca de Ia Palma. One of the
raiders killed by McNeely's men had on
McNnhon's clothes. Cortiue's followers
ar. very mad at thu defeat of the raiders
bv McN-.ly. and swear tina. they will
have three for one. Some OF the recap
tuyed cattle belong TO men living more
than two hundred miles from the Rio
Grand. Stock in Western Texas Is very
much scattered for want of attention,
herbs 1len fearing Mexican raiders. The
reported fight between the ranchers and
cattle thieves. and the killing of Captain
Fogies, Of Cortina's force, was not
verified.
The plain fact is, that the Mexican
National Government is Powertess to
check its lawless citizens from invading
Texas. Naturally the Texans are deter
mined to protect themselves. In so
doing they will neither be careful TO con-
fine themselves TO the strict letter of
national law nor 20 avoid such dOings as
may involve the Federal Government i'll
trouble. Indeed, there is little doubt
that transfer of their quarrel with the
M.xicans to the General Government
wculd oe very mGch to their liking. IF
war does come it is to be hoped that
definite ard final settlement Of orr
border troubles NAV be completed. Texas
and Texans have cost the country one
expensive WAY. already. \ second one

subject that Republic TO such invasious
Sc would keep her troopers busy. The
Northern and Eastern line OF Mexico is
q long one. While the Texans would be
busy on the frontier OF their State, New
Mexico and Arizona would afford many a
convenient trail for invading Mexican
territory. As indicating that Arizona as
well as Texas is breeding place for
border troubles. ana 2 recruiting ground
for volunteers. we quote as follows from
the Arizona Citizen of June }:
The Arizona Minute Men paraded
through the streets ef Tucson on Tues
day. and numbered among them most of
our leading Mexican and American clti-
Zens The object Of this organization Is
to protect the frontier from the frequent
murders and robberies that have been
incident to close proximity TO the Mex
lean line They hold themselves In
readiness to 90 at moment 8 warning
TO secure stolen property and arrest
criminals. 1t is the desire and intention
Of the organization TO cooperate with
the good citizens of Sonora and to assist
them TO recover property should it be
stolen and brought here, expecting of
them like assistance when property Is
stoien here and taken to Sonora. The
object Of the organization is TO aid the
enforcement of the law, to give peace TO
the people on both sides of the line. and
help pat down the thieves and Elurderers
who infest the border and commit crimes
in Sonora ana flee TO Arizona for safety,
and then repeat their crimes in Arizona
and escape to Sonora The organization
is commanded by James Lee, who is one
Of our best and most law abiding citi-
zens, and We believe that it will be the
means of giving protection TO good men
on both sides of the line. Those who
have lived for years by murder and theft
may as well take warning by these gentle
hints, for the good people of Sonora and
Arizona have suffered by them until
limit has arrived to their endurance. Ii
there are men among Us who, las it is
charged. are engaged in buying stolen
stock from well known thieves, let these
words be sufficien. warming for these
minute men are determined while they
are engaged in protecting our own inter
est, to see that no wrong is perpetrated
upon the good people of Sonora
