dent relative to affairs on the Mexican border.
He urges prompt and vigorous measures to re-
press and punish the Mexican marauders, who
pillage settlers In Texas and Arizona. 1t is
urged that now is a good time to strike. Even
| by crossing the Mexican border. if necessary,
because the United Statee owe no such forbear-
ance to the de facto revolutionary Government
of Diaz that 1t would owe to a lawful Constitu-
tional Government, seeking to establish its su-
thority with sufficient decisiveness to be able to
fulfill its obligations to neighboring states. 1t
is we'll understood here that Lodro starts soon
for Mexico to reassert his rights to the Presi-
dency. General Escobado will have charge in
the field. Great confidence is felt in his sagac-
ity, activity and influence with the Mexican
army. Our Government is entirely satisfied
that there is nothing in the stories that fill
clustering enterprises either on the Pacific or the
Atlantic, are projected as parts Of the Ledro
| movement. Fillibusterirg colonists from Cali
fornia rest assured therefore that all parties in
Mexico will unite with the American military
forces in stamping out every such illegal ad-
| venture. 1t will be a fatal deluslon to think
that our Government will wink at them. On
this point our military commanders are in
| structed unequivocally.
