PRESCOTT, July 2l. 1884 To Ills Ercetlency L. Torres, Gorsnoy ot So
 nora, MeTic0:
 SIR:-In the absence of the Governor o Arizona, F. 4. Tritle, l have the homo tC acknowledge the receipt of your communi- cation of June 17th, in reference to the extradition of Collin Cameron and c. S Cooper, charged with crimes committed iu the State of $ nora. Governor Tritle ba. been too i'll to give the matter proper atten tion. and he having left the Territory, tenn porarily, it devolyes upon myself to address Your Excellency on the subject.
 It is apparent from the communication of Your Excellency that the parties sought to be extradicted are American citizens, and unless the treaty of the United States as;th Mexico. of date of December II. A. D ueh tnu'ng ofifcias =aSs..s.. .,a,,b In Article 6. subdivision of the treaty (, shIch I have referred, will be found tn, following language: Neither of the con tracting parties shall be bound to deliver up it's own citizens undsr- the stipulation. .f this treaty"
 Your Exesllency will therefore obserte that the treaty does not in thIs case demand the official action on my part Your Excel lency requests, and as the power on my part officially to exercise discretion in the premises Is certainly doubtful, do not feel authorized to exercise it. Were these parties citizens of your own State, I would be most happy to grant the extradtion, put I am of opinion that no Government could deliver up its own citizens to the courts of 4 foreign country, unless provisions express direction to that effect has been explicitly given in the recognized and established mode of authorization employed by nations No such direction having been SO given in the treaty as is shown; but quite the con- rary. and any authority to exercise discre ion in the premises being, as observed, 'ery questionable, am obliged to decline he official action Your Excellency requests. am, Your Excellency. with distinguish d consideration, your obedient servant.
