THE CONDITION OF AYYAIRs IN SMALL
HOPES OF SUCCESS FOB THE REVOLUTION
IsTs-How TO SUPPRESS THE BORDER
RAIDs--wHAr THE CITIZENS OF TEXAS DE-
SIRE.
gentleman VINO has long been very familiar with
Mexican politics and VINO Is recently from Mexico
speaking Of the revolutionary movement there to-day
remarked that he was certain II has strength
substance, and that while It might for awhile trouble
the government to put it down 1t WAS not likely to
spread or to get any firm hold except the border
and ut such great distance from the capital that the
government could reach the rcvoutonarics with
Its troops Ho remarked that n the Church
tonary element could not maintain itself in
the country master it, with the help
OF Macmillan and French Army, Il
was very unlikely TO gain much Roadway now, with
hackers except few disconnected politicians, who
without means to pay troops or to buy arms and
ammunition, and are incapable OF carrying on regu
lar campaign OF Offering resistance to regular
troops such as the government would bring against
them II they should attempt TO attack the interior
As TO tho troubles the border, Of which &C.
count appears IN today's papers, he said that the
gressive acts OF the revolutionists upon American
citizens would be defended by the Mexican govern
mcnt's prompt and severe punishment OF tho border
outrages
.'lf there was peace on tho Mexican side" he said,
stnat government might hesitate to authorize tn Q
United States to pursue border raiders and cattle
steaers tho line into Mexico but In the present
condition Of the border the authorities Mexico will
not complain II tho United States forces punish the
revolutionisis or notice the fact II General Anger
should troops the border for this pur
pose"
h He thought It would be injudicous In President
Grant 10 demand OF Mexico formal leave to send
troops the Rio Grandc, because would thus
quire tho Mexican governments to publicly humiliate
itself by authorizing invasion of its territory But
no that such acts, II done
der the spur Of necessity by judIcious off,
Of tho army, would not be resented
by the authorities in Mexico. which would not make
them matter OF public notice, but could Afford In the
present disturbed condition of tho border overlook
them being assured that the intentions OF the United
States friendly.
The Texans here are unanimous In declaring that
they and their people do not want with Mexico;
do not want to acquire Mexican territory and in
their demand for help TO put down border outrages
have Interior objects They simply to be pro-
tected against tho raids OF Mexican desperadocs.
nd they believe do the United States officers who
served on the border that this DO effectively dono
only by authorizing tho commanders OF regular troops
pursue cattle thieves and outlaws the
limo and punish them at once wherever they are
caught II Is not believed by those here who mos,
familiar with the present rules Of Mexico that my CON-
plications likely 70 grow out OF prudent adop
ton Of this policy, which would be welcomed by all
orderly part Of the Mexican people living the
border.
