Another dispatch says: The princi-
pal subject of discussion at the Cabinet
meeting today was the situation on the
Mexican border. The official reports
as to the raiding of parties were formal
ly presented and considered. They
consisted of the report received by the
Postmaster General from the Postmas-
tiers who have been molested and of the
reports of army officers. These docu
ments substantiated most of the dis
patches from the Mexican border. The
Postmaster General showed that several
of his officers have been killed.
The Secretary Of State manifested
some uneasiness at these raids. 1t is
understood that the Mexican Govern
ment had disclaimed all responsibility
for the incursions. 1t is evideut that if
these raids are to continue the border
mail service will of necessity be discon,
tinued.
No formal conclusion was reached,
but it was generally understood that a
note of protest would soon be prepared
to be presented to the Mexican Govern
ment.as preliminary to the prepara-
ton of formal note.
