of the government snught to be l'''o-
tected By such ru 'e5.
The argument that persons out i've
days from Vera Cruz, arriving at Ell
Paso. could not communicate yellow
fever bect-,Se no case was known to
the MexiN government of its being
,ed to the people Of inter
mediate |ints, is not appreciated. 1t
is safe .llirm that d person leaving
Vera CT b, where yellow fever pre-
ails, ca I'd travel to Paso del Norte
and to ew York, or to San i Fran
spread pg the disease at single inter
medis!ts point and still be the cause
of ipfecteng the distant points named.
oAt Mr.. Romero's communication
Finishes me an opportunity to call to
tie attention of his government
circumstance on the subject OF notice.
that have not done before: On the
establishment of quarantine at Ell
Paso del Norte aud Laredo. this gov
eminent had the proclamation printed
on slips in the Spanish language and
sent to those points, with the request
to the railway management to post
them all in conspicuous place il the
coaches, so that the people throughout
Mexico could be informe d. At
Paso del Norte the Mexican
authorities absolutely refused to al
low them put up in their coaches, and
the ones that were put up at Laredo
the train having been made upon the
Texas side, were, as soon as the train
reached the right bank of the Rio
Grande, tora down by Mexican Off
Gals, and, with sneer, thrown out
of the train. So much on the subject
of notice. | did not deem it worth
| while to complain of this insult to the
| state, because all efforts in the past, to
obtain redress, or even satisfactory
apologies for like offenses, have proved
Intellectual. With all due respect to
the Mexican government, desire to
say that Texas must be her own judge
OF the times and places Tor establish
| ing quarantine for the protection OF
| her people. Quarantine. however
at Laredo aud Paso del Norte, was
raised on the 18th instant.
| I am, very respectfully, your obedi'
ent servant, JOHN IRELAND,
Governor of Texas.
