 article published in the Chronicle and Ca of yesterday morning, relative to the prt
 posed treaty with Mexico looking to the se.
 sion of Mexican States lying south and we.
 of the Rio Grande including all of Lowe
 California, creates considerable speculation
 The article purports to be based on anthenti
 information from Washington and othe
 sources and claims that the treaty has al
 ready been drafted and will be submitted |
 Congress at the coming session. Actin
 Mexican Consul M. C. Pritchard in an inter
 view last evening said he knew nothing c
 any such treaty and that not a person il
 Mexico could be found, to ssustain it. Th
 constitution of Mexico forbids any stteDp
 st dismemberment of its Territory and D,
 document looking toward that end can D,
 signed unless by reasonable acts of th,
 Government. Before any treaty of tha
 kind can be entered into it is necessary tt
 amend the constitution which can be dons
 only by act of Congress ratified by a two
 third vote of the Legislatures of the several
 states forming the Mexican Republic. He
 considers the scheme concocted by certain parties engaged in land grabbing interes,
 knowing that many persons had been buying land in Mexico in hope of something of the
 kind happening.
 The Call and Alta, this morning, editor ially scout at the story as prepo terous and unfounded so far as any official action is con- cerned though admitting there may be great endeavors made by interested parties to ef- feet sush a result.
 San Francisco, Nov, 22.-Your reporter has investigated thoroughly the reported ceasion of Mexican Territory to the U. S. There is reason to believe that the basis for the sensational statement published in the Call and Chronicle is negotiation by Col. Scott in Mexico some months since for the right of way through the lower California frontier for the Texas Pacific R. R. It is probable that the Texas Pacific people have made tender for strip of land along the frontier between the Colorado river and the bay of San Diego.

 Washington, Nov. 22-Last night Vice Wilson seemed very much inn proved. He retired at an early hour and lept tolerably well, at midnight he got up, walked about the room and again retired. This a. m. he awoke at 7 o'clock got up and aid he would go riding. But while waiting or breakfast he drank the bitter water pre- cribed for him and laid down, suddenly he howed signs of exhaustion breathed heavily | pr few moments and then died without struggle.
 San Antonio, Texas. Nov. 22.-A telegram eceived at Headquarters yesterday from Col. otter, Brownsville, reporting that forty men the Sth Cavalry had crossed the Rio irande to support Capt. McNally who had cen driven to the River by Mexicans but ad been ordered to return. It appears the :. s. Cavalry caught nine Mexican cattle ,ieves crossing with stolen cattle. The U. Troops were ordered not to cross the iver and remained on this side while Me ally with the Texas State troops crossed yer and attempted to recapture the cattle. he Mexicans drove McNally before them. 'h Cavalry crossed over contrary to orders Id fought the Mexicans side by side with cNaly's men until they were obliged by numbers to fail back to this de of the river. Four Mexcans were kil- d. It is not improbable but that the Mex ans will cross over to this side. The cattle eye not recovered. Los Cuevas where the 5ht took place is the Headquarters of Cor ca's thieves.
 Galveston, Nov. 22-Advices from townsville to-day state that on Saturday apt. McNally was entrenched on the Mexi- n side of the River under the protection of deral troops crossing. He remained to 'ld the passage when positive orders were mt not to cross. Capt McNally then re- rned with his whole command but he ex. rted apromise from the Mexican authori. es that they would deliver all stolen cattle Id thieves if caught.
 Later.-lt is stated that yesterday the exicans delivered several head of cattle at inggold barracks. All is quiet now. Washington, Nov. 22.-General Ord. in of Department of Texas, in his nual report gives long account of the ] exican bandits most of which has been an ;ipated by the press publications. The re. Tt closes with significant suggestions at more affective means must be adopted an sending troops to look on while our I ople are being despoiled and murdered for is evident that soldiers however willing D do nothing if confined to this side of the CT and in order to make resprisals to carry :. orders has sometimes resulted in indem- y as we'll as security. The President is. 'd an order this eve that the various De- rtments of Government be closed on the 7 of Vice President Wilson's funeral and pyacufiva ma
