MEXICO AND FICToRIA's Misunderstanding
Ramsey says that he has no fears OF any COM
plicationS with Mexico growing out OF Victo-
ria'S Indians. All talk that there will be COM
pitcattons Is purely sensational newspaper
chatter. There Is no doubt that Victoria will in
time get hungry and tired OF Mexico and want
10 come back. His Indians Will be received on
the same terms as the Sitting Bull bands that
are giving themselves up in the northwest
Iney VIII have TO surrender Internationally and
give up their arms and ponies. There Is no bad
feel1Eg against Mexico because She refused per-
mission TO United States troops TO follow VIC
Iofla- Sne had perfect right TO refuse. and the
war department accepts her action as settling
the trouble definitely until Victoria either comes
eack voluntarily or on raiding expedition. In
me latter case Mexico will probably be held re-
SpOnSltle Tor any damage that he may inflict
but the matter Will remain for the Presidents
decision.
