CRY OF Mexico. June 30.-The
spirit Of the order to General Ord 10
cross the Rio Grandc has been misun-
derstood BY the press which has made
| bitter attacks on the American Gov
eminent. The Official Joarnal
CHARGES the United States Govern.
Eaent with violation o~ftreaties and in
tcrnstional law, alleging that the Rio
Grande movement is q pfetext for ter
~ritorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT or for forcing
Lerdo upon the Mexican people.
These attacks have called forth a mem
orandum from Minister Foster, which
is addressed to the Government and
foreign representatives. The follow
ing are the principal points of the
memorandum: The Instructions CIV
en- to General Ord are not an an
nouncement of q Dew measure on the
part Of the United States. The dep
relations committed during the past
few years were not common to both
sides of the frontier. Mexico took no
adequate, no vigorous measures to pre-
vent depredatious or punish outlaws.
Mexico frequently acknowledged its
inability to discharge its duty regading
the preserving of order on the Rio
Grande frontier, giving as a reason
internal dissentioGs. The instructions
to General Ord are misinterpretei by
the Mexican Government. therefore
the declaration made by the Mexi-
can Minister of War is unwarranted
in officially asserting that the instruc-
lions to General Ord are 10 contra
vention of trea les between Mexico
and the United States.
Telegraphic dispatches a
meeting between Generals Ord and
Trevino at Piedras Yegras, at which
amicablc and satisfactory arrange
ments we're made for the suppression
of raids. The Mexican Government
insists on q modification of the order
to General Ord, and fears are enter
tanned that q modification will not be
conceded. There is considerable ex-
element over this affair ia the Capital.
Senior Rafael Benavides has been CON-
missioned by the Mexican Govern
ment to make Especial and minute
study of the situation on the border,
and report measures expedient for
q stop to raids and disorders.

According to the ext Governors own
showing, his preaching in the wilder.
ness had bat little effect, aad the war
having been inaugurated, civil service
reform went to the dogs. But after
the close of the war, this same geatle-
nan became Governor Of the great
state. OF New York, and vas clothed
with the power Of dispensing palron-
age immeasurably greater than that
pertaining to the Office Of Postmss er.
1t is strange that, in his retrospect,
be jumps oyer this period, to collect
instances of cxertious 10 the line Of
civil service reform. He subsequent
ly became a candidate for reelection
and was defeated, while bis opponent
was elected, ostensibly, as a reform
candidate. The Ex-Governor is, no

Another VOL emit storm.

On Thursday evening, when we
had only a little sprinkle of rain in
the city, the people living in the
southern part of the county were the
sufferers by a terrible storm, which
was Of short duration, but damaged
the crops, in some places running
them utterly. All along the Char.
tiers creek valley and Saw Mill run
the people suffered by the food, but
nowhere so badly as in the end Of
Snowden township, near Library
! postolice, about ten miles from the
city. A perfect water tpout descen.
ded about four O'Clock on Thursday
afternoon SO that little gullies in
which there never flowed any water
became torrents. HailstoLes the
size of pigeon eggs, fell, o ering the
ground. The storm was ouly about
four miles long and two wide, but
he crops in this space are totally ru-
ined. The oats. wheat, corn, pota-
toes and other vegetables were beat
en- down into the ground. A large
kitchen attached to the rear of
Squire Handel's house was flooded
away about q hundred feet. About
q mile of fence belonging to him was
also swept away. To give an idea
of the force Of the storm it may be
said that Mr.. Handel's grindstone,
in wood fastening, was swept about
a hundred yards, and the shingles
on the roofs of the houses and build.
ings were actually split by the hail
stones. A large number of Mr.. Han
del's neighbors were similarly served
"a to their fences and crops. The
loss is estimated at about $40, 900.
The water fell as if q cloud suddenly
sat on the ground, washing everything
away, and what the water did not
destroy the hail did, that fell directly
afte.ward. A few chickens were
drowned. but fortunately no human
beings lost their lives. The fire..
quency and force of local storms
this year is really remarkable.
