AS TO MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The credentials
or Senior Mata, with accompanying docu-
ments, were presented to the Secretary
OF State yesterday, who received them
for consideration. 1t Is possible that
the question Of the recognition of the
Diaz Government, upon which will de-
pend the acceptance of the credentials
OF Mr.. Mata, will be fully discussed at
the Cabinet meeting to-day. The gen.
eral sentiment OF the Government is not
nimical to the recognition of the Diaz
Government. This, however, will not
affect the determination OF the
Secretary OF State to vigorously
prosecute the decided policy resolved
upon in the suppression and punish.
ment of border raiders. The Secretary
OF State attaches little Importance to
the treaty OF 1861 for the extradilion of
criminals, which, with other crimes, iu-
cludes that of larceny Of cattle or other
goods and chattels committed within the
the contracting parties. The Secretary
forcibly observed that eXtradition treat
les were OF great utility in the arraign-
ment OF criminals in countries where
there are organized courts and other
means OF enforcing justice through ju-
ries, and an efficient police; but in the
frontier OF Mexico, the vast region
from which these marauding expe-
dilions emanate. there are no SUCH
means to bring offending parties to JUS.

amy fixed habitation, possibly without
any names by which they might be iden-
Lfed. Under such circumstances, any
attempt 10 carry out the stipuIations OF
an extradition treaty would be utterly
fruitless. 1t is quite evidently the pur-
pose Of the Secretary to prosecute re.
lentless war upon the class of persons
who for years have been violating Amer
lean soil with impunity.
THE SPEECH OF SENATOR BLAINE
at Woodstock was by the Secretary
characterized as a most extraordinary
aud untimely effusion, and be did not
think that the Senator could justify the
atrocious murders and other crimes COM
mitted upon his fellow-citiz ms by the
semi-civilized rowing parties from the
frontiers of Mexico. The Secretary did
not think that the attention of the peo-
pie OF the United States would thus be
diverted from the important reforms
now going ON under direction Of the
