Our Mexican Border.

Our Mexican Border.
In addition TO the joint resolution report
ed last Thursday from the House Foreign
Affairs Committee providing for keeping
not less than five thousand men on the
Texas border to protect the American citi-
zens, and continuing in force the admins
tration order authorizing our troops
to cross the Rio Grande in pur-
suit of marauding parties until
by treaty stipulations Mexico secures
efficient protection, the Committee is
framing another joint resolution, which
will be recommended to the House on the
event of the failure of Mexico to enforce,
within reasonable time, such measures as
will insure our citizens against cattle
thieves robbers and murderers, who cross
from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
By this contemplated resolution Mexico is
to be required not only to indemnify our
citizens for injuries to persons and losses or
injury to property, but also to- abolish its
Gree Zone,n and to pay the cost OF main
| tanning the U. s. army along the Rio
Grande border, whose employment is ren-
dered necessary by the disturbances occa-
stoned by unlawful incursions.
Dennis Talks About Florida.
| New YORK, April 29.-The Worlds Wash
ington special says Captain T. G: Dennis,
the little giant of Republcansm as his
friends delight to call him, has arrived here.
Captain Dennis declined to talk upon his
statement of the Florida frauds further
than to say:
81 should never have made that
statement if I had not believed that it
would lead to an investigation by Congress.
| am anxious for full investigation, and ii
called before a committee will snbstantiate
my affidavit in every particular"
"Can you not give more about 1t IN detali
now?"
mo, sir; I can not The statement, though
brief, covers the whole question, ana pre-,
fer not to talk about it now for several
reasons-one is that / have been travelling
since Wednesday and am very much worn
out, besides l am quite i'll from disease
contracted just before | left"
''Did you come here at the request OF any
one?
"Yes, sir, did; and to see Congressman
Bisbee, of my State; and you may say that
the frauds in the election in Archer, which
affected the general result in the State, &c
not in any way affect Bisbees election iron
the Second Florida District. Bisbee waE
fairly elected and ought to keep his seat"
Captain Dennis will remain here severa
days in conference with Anti-Hayes Repub
licans, and has no doubt from what he na.
heard that there will be an investigation by
Congress.
Mr. Conkling and his interviewer
New YORK, April 29.-The Worlds Wash
, ington special says the additional statemen
: of Mr.. Mines in the World created sensa
ton quite in keeping with that OF weel
} ago. The charges were positively mad
that Senator Conkling had deliberately as
serted to Mr.. Mines that the President, Sec
. retary Sherman and Senator Matthews wer
accessories before the fact in the Louisian
crime, and has been discussed again, an
e the necessity of the New York Senate
making an explanation has been very freel
commented upon. 1t is known that h
, continues to take advice as to what cours
, he shall pursue. One Senator, whose nam
can not be used, replied thus: Il shoul
advise you, by all means, to max
S personal explanation as to tn
| Senators who were referred to i
: the interview. Beyond that | do nc
! think you can go, but the rest has bee
heard too often by Senators to prevent
4 denial of the publication"
Stanley Matthews is absent from the cit
t and his opinion of Mr.. Conkling's NOR
/ positive statement in culpating him in tn
{, Louisiana fraud can not be obtained
Secretary Sherman saws he does not care
be interviewed. He is not willing to believ
1 that Mr.. Conkling ever uttered such lal
guage in reference to himself, and eXpresSe
Y contempt for any confession or intervie'
= which charges that he was party to an
fraud in Louisiana, or that the Presidel
: had any knowledge of it in any way.
