The Galveston Ne,cS special from
Brownsville of Sept 10Th says: A re-
port has been circulated for several
days that Gen. Canales had rendered
his resignation as general in the Mexican
army. This morning the report as
tSumes consistency by being published
IN The ProgreSs, Il newspaper of Mata.
moras In addition it is stated tina,
Gen. Trevino has also resigned, and
Gen. Cuellar has followed suit. This
supports the truth of what was previous
~ telegraphed, that the order of Pres
ident Diaz to surrender the raiders 10
our authorities made IL direct issue be-
tween him and the large majority of
the Mexican people, who hate Amer
leans. That feeling is so strong in the
states on this side the Sierra Madre
that Treyino and Canales have sue
cumbed to it. No state official can
sustain his position and act in opposition
to it.
The Mexican extradition commits
sioner refused to let Sherifls Lee and
Thompson see the Hidalgo county
prisoners on yesterday. They were
told that it would be useless; that the
Americans had already received three
prisoners, and ought to be satisfied;
that If they expected to get those on
hand they would have to resort to other
means to accomplish their ends. The
meaning is that extradition is inadequate
to secure the deiverance of prisoners to
our authorities; and if we want them
we must take them by force. Lee and
Thompson left late last evening for Hi
lalgo county.
The question of the surrender of raid
ers by order of President Daz is dis
cussed on the Mexican side with great
warmth. All parties condemn his
course. His action has wounded Mex
lean pride, and it will cement an OPP
position to his administration not only
formidable but extremely dangerous.
1t is the opinion of those we'll versed in
Mexican affairs that revolution will
likely ensue. Ifso, that will be evidence
that even the president of Mexico can
not dare to do justice to the United
States without arousing the indignation
of the people 1t is impossible to ex-
press the adherence they entertain
toward the United States.
Last night the exercises of the Gel
ebration Of Mexican independence day

Gen. Canales purposes taking the Ia
maullpas state troops with him to Vic
toria, the state capital.
Judge Russell will press the question
OF cXtradlting parties now prisoners IN
Mexico until he gets Il decisive answer.
1t Is now indicated that the Mexican
authorities will refuse to surrender
native MeXicanS. The Mexican papers
insist that the iail-raiders are protected
by the claim of Mexican citizenship.

not have surrendered Mexicans toAmer-
