MEXICAN AFFAIRS IN THE CABINET.
At the Cabinet session to-day most o
the time was occupied in discussing
Mexican affairs. The Secretary Of Wal
received kilograms and letters from Gen
Ord, in which he reports at length thC
condition OF affairs on the Rio Grande
The Mexican government having promis
ed TO put stop 10 the raiding across The
river, no further action will be taken BY
our government for the present, in the
hope that the Mexican authorities will bt
able to fulfill their promises and thus
prevent any invasion Of Mexican ter,
ritory by the United States forces.
uLNs UNI hEiUhEs
Gen. Ord, in his dispatches, expresse.
the opinion that affairs are progressing
iavorably. He believes that the maraud'
ing parties can be broken up without In.
vOlving disturbance OF our Interna'
tiOnal relations.
NOT AT PREsENT.
The President at this time has nc
intention OF visiting Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs, but he will probably
accept the invitation to visit Old Point,
Virginia, to attend the postal convention
which meets the latter part OF this
month.
NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
The question whether the members oi
the Republican National Comittee come
within the scope OF the recent order Of
the President forbiddiug all Government
officials from having any connection with
political organizations was discussed. II
was decided that members OF the above
named committee who are in the employ
OF the Government must resign from one
Of their positions. The conversation be.
tween the President and Governor Nc.
Cormick, from which a difference oi
opinion resulted was wholly Of a casual
nature and not OF decisive character,
The decision reached to-day will necessi.
tate the resignation from the Republican
National Committee OF Assistant Secre.
tary Of the Treasury Mccormick, Post.
master Pilley, Of ST. Louis, and perhaps
some others Of its members.
NO MODIFICATION OF oRD's INSTRUCTIONS.
It can be stated on unquestionable au.
thority that the Administration has
made no modification of Gen. Ord's in.
structions heretofore published, nor have
any propositions for a modification oi
them been even considered. Adyices
were received at the State Department
to-day from Minister Foster, which state
that he had called the attention OF the
governmental Of Gen. Diaz to the invasion
OF American soil by Mexican force Of
Diaz soldiers while in pursuit Of body
Of Lerdo's adherents, and in reply had
received from the Diaz Government some
very interesting assurances. They ad.
mitted that this act was an infringement
Of international law, promised it should
be promptly investigated, and assured
him, for information OF our Government,
that they would make all due amends 10
accord with the requirements Of interna-
tional law. 1t is therefore evident that
the Diaz Government perceive that ex.
plantations are first in order from Mexico,
she having made the first invasion.
