DECISIVE ACTION
Thus far however, tho Uu,lcd States has not taken

OUR GovERXmExrs POLICY
From this II bc the policy OF this gov

milton Of the present government OF Mexico is con-
ccrned. In tho 1rst place two principles at least,
must bc established beyond all doubthrst the accep
liability OF the Diaz government 10 the people OF Mex
co aud second the power Of that government to
out strictly to the letter all OF It's treaty obligations

able to keep faith with oil treaty obligation So far
as Information extends The first principle has bccn
already sufficiently proved, ana tho people OF Mexico
appear satisfied with Dazs administrations. Tho
second principle, however remains to DO established
to tho satisfaction OF tho government, and until thcn
there will be no recognition. II Will therefore be
that the policy OF tho United States is TO put
Mexico upon her good behavior and 10 prescribe

the people OF Texas and been the subject OF much
annoyance 10 this government
A VIGOROUS NATIoSAL POLICY.
Tho President and his Cabinet arc rightly OF tho
opinion that tho present most prop.tous time Tor
tho adoption OF vigorous national policy the part
OF this government, such will forever put at rcst
the border question. They regard opportunity
which might never again occur, because the matter
stands tho presont government 0t Mexico depends
largely II not entirely. upon the future action OF tho
United States, It beinga conceded fact that the Daz
government cannot exist for tho full term OF four
years unless recognized by the United States.

THE DiAz FACTION
Meanwhile Schor Mata, the Dinz Minister, remains
here, and, although having no formal relations with
the govern mcnt OF the United States. continues his
enotts to induce his own government to every
to carry out It's treaty obligations by further
prevention OF border outragcs. Mr. FOSTER, the
American Minister, holds informal ommunications
with tho Diaz officials, and has mado known by letter
the sole condition upon which this government bases
its future action. Tho policy of The government, as
directed by Secretary Evarts, is receiving universal
approval In Texas. and ultimate SUCCESS Is assured
by tho testimony Of the most influential citizens on
tho border.
