ognized as the minister of the Mexican
government, tonight exhibited an order to

with the general in bringing the robbers TO
justice, but says the order of this agre e.
ment between commanders or authorities Of
both countries shall In no case authorize
the passing of foreign troops into our terri
tory, an authorization which cannot be
granted even by the president of the repub-
lie. You will inform the commander of the
United States forces that the government of
Mexico cannot allow foreign foe to enter
the national territory without the congress
of the union, and much less that said force
shall come to exercise acts OF jurisdiction,

repel force by force should invasion take
