A MEXICAN SCARE.
Ridiculous Statements of Mexican Newspapers
Concerning Politics in the United States.

MATAMoRos, Mexico, June 9.-The papers in
the northern part of Mexico have got up a regu-
lar scare among themselves over an imaginary
concentration of Is, 900 United States soldiers on
the Mexican frontier, oblivious of the utter i'm
possibility of such a move on the part of the
United States as sending over half their num-
Der. The next ridiculous reasons are given, of
of which the following, copied from yesterdays
issue of Corree de la Tardo, an evening daily of
the city, is a fair sample: "a paper of Monterey
says that the massing of troops on the American
frontier is caused by the coming election. AS
Tilden is the candidate of the Democratic party,
and if the Republicans should find themselves
divided in two between Blaine and Arthur, the
latter knowing that his adversary, Blaine, is the
one who most probably will be elected, to intimi-
date our government, having the army at his
