terday July p appears an article in which
you say:
'Mr. +. b. Hunt, OF Richmond, Indiana, has filed

In this city of General Mata, armed with
credentials as an ambassador to the United
States, accredited to the Diaz government,
las revived to some extent the sensational
runners heretofore extensively circulated
that this government is anxious to acquire
by ctssiOn the five northern states of Mex
leo. Mata was at the State department yes
terday and again to-day. He, OF course lis
n ceivcd only informally, and will not be
recognized as the Mexican minister until
the Cabinet decide upon the merits OF his
claims. There is no doubt that q party of
speCulators. Adventures and filibus .ers, are
anxious TO have the government wink at q
series of predatory incursiOns into Mexico,
the hope OF the leaders being that a comoina
ton can be made with the followers of Lerdo
and effect the overthrow of Diaz and Lerdo's
reatOration 10 the presidency OF the dis
tIacted republic. The restoration to power
would be Lerdo's reward for combining
with such q movement, and the acquisition
OF valuable silver lands seems to be the in
centive which impels those who want q fill
clustering exp: 1ition. It is not believed that
this government is anxious TO have slice of
Mexico, and that moreover 1t will not, d.
rectly or Indirectly, give countenancs to any
revolutionary movement against Mexico,
fitted up and equipped on this side Of the
Rio Grapde.
