GALVESTON.
GALVESTON, July lS.-[Special. THE at
tack by the Mexicans on the American
consulate, and nrurderous outrage on the
acting consul, has occasioned much COM
ment and speculation in this city. From
prominent gentleman who was aboard
and captured at Bustamente for the alleged
killing of Mexican by railroad men some
ew weeks ago, he stated to the HERALD
reporter that the feeling against Americans
ali along he line OF the Mexican National
railway was intensely bitter, and especially
was this the case at Monterey, the seat OF
the recent outrage, where they held that
the railway was killing the prosperity OF
Monterey and diverting trade from II; and
that the anti-Diaz party were active IN
forming this spirit and melting the popu,
lace to overt acts against Americans ana
A merican enterprise; that the true state OF
affairs in Mexico and the hostility Of the
Mexicaps to everything American had
been studiously suppressed by the Mexican
National and other railways in course OF
construction in this country; that 1t was
his opiniop, found from actual observation,
and a dispassionate view OF the situation,
that greater outrages would speedily follow
the Monterey affair unless the American
government gave the Mexican govern.
ment to emphatically understand that
American citlzens and capital must be
sacredly protected, or it would interfere
and establish protectorate over that coun-
trv. The gentleman stated that this feeling
otinteuse hatred against Americans was
shared almost exclu,ively by the lower or
ders of society, aud that the aristocracy
were friendly and we're anxious to see the
wonderful and varied resources OF their
country developed by American enterprise
and cark.al. The views OF this gentleman
who have recently returned from Mexico.

description of the robber and would-be-
murderer, and it is feared that he will not

matter has created much excitement at
Monterey, and it is hoped that the United
States government will try to do something
to put stop to these continued outrages tc
