TWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO
THE REMEDY PROPOSED = GENERAL BENA-
vIDEs' ACTION REGARDING THE BIO oRANDE
CITY OUTRAGE.
by TELEGRAPH TO The HERALD.
WASHINGTON, August 10. 1877.
No advices have been received here by Senior Mata
to-day from General Benavidcs concerning the
which events are taking the Mexican border In
gard to the outrage at Rio Grande City. Some three
weeks ago the State Department had under discus
sion the defects Of tho present treaty. between
the United States aud Mexico touching extradilon.
Promirent gentlemen that time pointed out the fact
that according to its terms a native OF Mexico who
had committed crime in the United States could not DO
surrendered upon requisiton Tor trial AMI punish
ment aud also tho stu more astonishing TACT that
provision could be found In tho criminal laws OF Mex
leo Tor his trial in that country upon being arrested
there Thercupon proposition was made by far
seeing officials Tor modification OF the treaty which
would cover tho following two points definitely
When requisition Is made Tor u Mexican charged
with an offence in Texas elsewhere in the United
States embracing such crimes arson, murder
stealing cattle, no shall be arrested and
rendered 10 the United States Tor punishment, and
second, where CRIME Is committed In the United
States If the criminals take refuge into the interior Of
Mexico the parties 10 be arrested and punished tho
same as If it had happened In Mexico. Those two
propositions under consideration, and will
probably be brought to the attention of tho Daz gov
eminent by Acting Secretary Seward. The same rulo
Is to apply TO the United States in similar cases.

Gen. Miles's Narrow Escape.

Lieut. A. M. Fuller, who was with
Gen. Miles in the recent fight with Lame
Deer and Iron Star on the Rosebud, has
arrived at ST. Paul and narrates the fol
lowing incident of the battle:
Just before the fight commenced Gen.
Miles told his interpreter to halo out to
the Indians in their language that if
they surrendered and laid down their
arms they would be saved. As soon as
he had done so the two chiefs, Lame
Deer and Iron Star, came toward Gen.
Miles on foot. When they were within
about fifteen PAGES of him they laid their
guns on the ground, and walking up to
him, shook hands with him, and his Adj
jutant, Lieut. Baird. While they were
doing this, Gen. Miles ordered his aid
to dismount and get their guns. Scarce
ly had the aid touched the ground, when
the Indians stepped back, took up their
guns, and one of them fired at Gen.
Miles. Fortunately, Gen. Miles just at
that moment, seeing the intention of the
Indian, partly wheeled his horse around
so that the bullet, instead of hitting him,
passed by, killing man in his rear.
The two chiefs were instantly shot down
in their tracks.

A Subterranean Wonder.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, June 2.-Last
week while Mr.. George Pearsal, of COe
Township, Rock Island County, was
boring for coal on his farm in ravine,
the surface of which is probably 10 or Il
feet higher than Rock River, and when
down 20 feet they heard heavy rum
bling noise, Immediately followed by
rush of water from below filling the six
inch tube which raised the drilling-ma
chinery, weighing some seven hundred
pounds, up many feet. On moving the
drilling apparatus, volume Of water was
thrown into the air perhaps 20 feet and
vet continues to rise seven or eight feet
when it spreads out into jets like an ar
tificial fountain. 1t is estimated that it
discharges a barrel of water minute
The water is pure and cold. A stone
thrown into the tube is Immediately
hurled back into the air as is rail when
forced down into it. This subterranean
lake or river must be some 60 feet be-
low the bed of Rock River. From
whence it comes or where it goes, or if
it is a pent up lake fed by springs, or an
underground river is unknown.
