f
movement outlined in-these dispatches
Friday night may now be regarded
as an accomplished fact, so far as
the negotiations to secure the policy
OF non-intervention by the United States
government Is concerned The leading
spirit OF the enterprise left here last
night for Philadelphia and New York
to confer with the parties who propose
to furnish the necessary capital, and If
they accept as satisfactory the assur-
ances given here, and advance the re-
quired funds as per the agreement
alluded to In Friday nights dispatches,
active operations will begin immedi-
ately.
These parties agreed to furnish a
quarter OF q million dollars to defray
expenses OF outfltting the three expedi-
tions, provided such assurances could be
obtained from this government as would
protect the movement from interference
during Its organization. They then
agreed to furnish another quarter of
million as soon as the expeditions were
fairly rendezvoused on Mexican ter
ritory.
The nature Of the assurances given
cannot be accurately ascertained. but
1T is believed to be substantially
as follows: The Federal govern
ment will place no obstacles in the
way of emigrants who may desire
to cross the Mexican border. II any
coneiI.~-hio fnrna -,'~Vsr 80 s"ine Va
El Paso, the government will accept
their assurances that their mission Is to
develop the mines Of Mexico, and will
not inquire into their ulterior designs.
When they get across the border all
surveillance on the part of this govern
ment will cease, and IL the Mexican gov
ernment protests and asks the United
States to enforce the neutrality laws,
our government will embrace the oppor-
tunity to renew It's demand upon Mexico
for indemnity for the numerous out
RACES committed on the Rio Grande
frontier, which can hardly fail to lead
to O suspension of diplomatic relations.
and ultimately bring on regular war
which, to put it plainly, is precisely
what our government wants.
Upon these assurances, the expe
dition will be pushed rapidly on, and
1t Is stated on good authority that
telegraphic instructions were sent
last night to New Orleans, Galveston,
st. Louis and San Francisco to begin
the organization of forces Immediately.
The Mexican minister here, Senior Ma
riscal, Is in sympathy with Lerdo, and
has not yet recognized the Diaz govern
ment. and announces his intention not
to do so at ALL This will cause d iazto
send another minister here to replaceMa-
riscal, which will put our State Depart
ment under the necessity Of choosing
between the two. 1t Is impossible to
say what such contingency might
lead to, but it is certain that our govern.
ment does not now intend to recognize
Diaz, and Lerdo has received what The
considers official assurances to this
effect.
The situation is curiously analogous
to that of Europe two months ago
Mexico is taking the place of Turkey
and the United States that of the grea
powers. The Diaz government being
without representative here, owing tx
the sympathy of Minister Marisca
with Lerdo, /. Is impossible for Diaz tx
bring any protest he may make off
cially before our government, at leas
for the present.
To sum up the whole complication, i
may be stated that unless some even
now unforeseen happens very soon, The
three expeditions, which it was an
nounced would invade Mexico, will bt
rendezvoused within sixty days, ant
there is strong probability that the,
will be supported by United State
naval, il not military. forces, at yer,
ealy stage Of the operations.
