Guilty could not be settled by the cession to
the United States OF strip OF North
ern Mexico. It was said that Mr.. Frlsbie
was to quietly sound the Diax government on this
point and report results TO the administration. the
report was stouty denied by tho brother OF Mr. Frsbe
aud others, who asserted and still say that no
went to Mexico to negotiate railroad charter Tho
explanation given here by those who profess to know
the real object OF Frisbe's visit TO Mexico is that he
was sent by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company TO
