MEXICAN ANNEXATION.

THE SAN FRANCISCO PRESS ON THE RUMoRED
oEssIoN OF TERRIToRY-PRoBABLE RUSH OF
EMIGEATIoN-A CONTRADICTION FROM WASH
INGToN
SAN FRAScisoo Nov. %, 1875
Yesterday the Chronicle and the CaA published elab
crate articles the OF Mexican territory to the
United States account of financial obligations. To-
day they publish additional for the negotiation
The Alta obstinately opposes the rumor. Every
where in financial circles there nothing heard but
"Mexico, what do you know Of Mexico2'
have met with capitalists to-day who would have
sold for any price Saturday their claims on the
Mexican government, but who cannot be approached
to-day for any less than the face value OF their paper
The citizens OF the Pacific coast nothing about
what intelligence comes from Washington on this sub
iect they feel fully assured that the States OF Mexico
southwest Of the United States must by necessity
become portion OF the Union Hence the present
rumor of negotiations gains general cFedence
BY the last steamer going south from here number
OF speculative adventurers LEFT for Mexico, and the
emigrants miners
The statements OF the Mexican Consul and Mexican
editors here amount TO nothing with the people this
city They are ripe and ready for ilibusterng II ma
tional negotiations fail
REAL MEANING OF THE REPoRT-THE PREsI-
DENT TO RECOMMEND TREATY INVOLVING
AN ENLARGEMENT OF TERRITORY TO CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Nov %, 1875
There is no truth in the report from San Francisco
that treaty has been agreed upon with Mexico for the
cesson of territory the United States, and still
less truth in the report about claims for $40 900
being involved in the matter The facts arc in reality
about follows
The President and Cabinet will recommend to Con-
grcssand the subject will doubtless be mentioned
the Presidents Message treaty with Mexico for the
cesson OF portion of the northern part OF Mexico
the east and north Of line from the Rio Grande
and running almost straight in northwest direction
TO the head OF the Gulf of California the consideration
being the abatement on our part Of all claims, past
and present for damages arising out OF Mexican border
raids and similar troubles The line of
our Mexican frontier would be only about $50 miles in
length against something like nearly 600 miles which
II now is on account OF running the middle Of the
Rio Grande This line, taking in as it would the
Mouota Mountains and mountain passes TO the south
west OF that river would enable us TO defend the from
tier with greater facility than IS possible at present
the extended snuous and fordabe Of the river
