rsY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD


...- t.rss WASHINGTON, D. c.. August 2s, 1871
Secretarv McCrary says that the War Department Is
not Ia receipt Of any new developments OF i'm
portance in regard the Of affairs on the hext-
can border He is somewhat grattnsd At the reported
action of tho Mexican authorities looking TO sur
render OF two OF the outlaws who are mixed
mn with the Rio Grande outrage. He spoke IN
complimentary terms Of the manner in which GeneraI
Bepavdes and Senior Mata had conducted the manage
mems Of duties far with regard TO the border
troubles and the pursuit of .he who have
by their involved the solution OF the Mexico
(. American problem OF International and diplomatic
relations He thought their promptness and couser-
yative course entitled to praise. When refer
ence was made as what he thought
about the impediments in the way Of
giving up punshing tho Mexicans who
were involved in the Rio Grande outrage account
of the defects in Extradton Treaty and the sys
tenn of Mexican criminal law, he said, with his Gus
,opary mild frmpess OF manner, that ho thought tho
pest way of solving the dfBculy would be for the
Mexican authorities to place the criminals within tho
lmlls OF the territory where their crimo had
been committed and whence they had Ted.
This is the only way out OF tho dilemma as
1t exists IN the minds OF strict constructionists
Should this not finally done is believed here by
those who discuss the situation among army officers
and civilians almost rremovable barrier to the
lul establishment OF cordial and friendly relations
hereafter between the Mexican and United States gov
srnmeut will be inerposed. There is doubt that 1t
will remain starting poizt OF serious and unpro
ptious results for the Dlaz government
SHALL MEXICO BE RECOGNIZED?
A growing feeling OF Indifference is becoming appa-
rent among officials OF the ADMINISTRATION as to whether
Mexico shall be recognized not and no disposition
is avowed To OK pcditc the moment OF settlement
off fnnud in nhSon INF
lar Official advices IRON the Diaz government as
well as its representatives the Mexican from.
tier from which apprchensions for tho
future arise, and, In the estimation OF
leading officials give grounds for surmise that
ell is not well and that still further embarrassmens
may be encountered.
FURNISHING FRONTIER GREAsLRs.
Ssior Mata has advised his government some time
ago With view 10 meeting the laches Of the law In
provision the punishment OF the frontier grcasers
and others by criminal process that certain belt
of country shall be taken beyond tho Rio
Grande in Mexican territory where martial law
shall be proclaimed and operation all who
are caught engaged rading, murder and other
crimes in Texas shall be punished by the military
authorities To this and other salatary propositions
made by him TO correct the violations of law the
border has received yet no response but looks
Tor early day signifying what his govern
ment will do.
WHICH PxEssDENrf
Seuor Mata will call upon Assistant Secretary
Seward in regard to the statement published TO tho
pfect that the United States government continues
essentially recognize the quasi Presidential exist
once OF the Lerdo government and consequently
ScIor Mariscal It's diplomatic representative. 1t
is contended that this cannot logically be proper,
because the government has ceased exist and
he Mexican Legation here has been placed under
Charge dAda,res. If senior Mata cannot properly be
recognized that official must the natural order of
diplomatic transitions be received. II not the only
ourse Tor the Charge close his ONCE OF Legation
