the Mexican authorities have at last set the ex-

them that shall regard their action in releas-

Of inability to observe the treaty hostility to

This is the fourteenth time that the Mexican
authorities have neglected to comply with the
demands for the extradition Of these prisoners,
but their release has caused the Government to
order no further action by Extradition Agent
Russell. On the 9th ultimo the Governor
stated, after consultation with General Ord,

pected would be refusal or failure Of the Next.
cans to comply with the requisition, he would
turn the matter over to the General Govern
ment. which the Governor expects, will be the
first time In IS years, act promptly and compel
Mexico to do her duty. It is generally believed

nrmed by the following received by the news
papers from Laredo: Captain Neal Caldwell. of

NEw ORLEANS, Oct. ..
The exciting news from Mexico is attracting
universal attention here. Further develop
ments are most eagerly looked for. All sorts of
views are put forth regarding the probabilities
Of war and its dimensions. Everybody knows
that struggle even with power so puny as
Mexico would cost much in blood and treasure.
Still. among the more sober citizens, there Is
feeling that our Government cannot afford to
tolerate Mexican insolence nor permit the bor-
leading military men say that the present state
OF Affairs on the border cannot be endured much

peace on her side Of the line, 1t will be neces-
sary for our troops to occupy her territory,
which will result in war. They think that If
the crash must come at all now Is the time to
bring 1t on. The Louisiana and Texas troops
would probably have to bear the brunt of the
struggle, especially in case OF any summer cam
paign in q malsrious district, where none but
men scclimated to southern diseases could be
used. 1t ia thought declaration Of war would
