Another Border Conflict.

LAREDO (Texas) October l1lh.-A large
anti American element here and Mexicans
across the river in Nuevo Laredo are con-
siderably excited over the eXtradition of
Juan Santos Coy, whose delivery to officers
of Karnes county, Texas, was reported on
October Sth. The MatvdliSta, the most in
fiuential Spanish paper in either Of the two
Laredos, had a column editorial yesterday
denouncing what it terms the kidnapping of
Mexican citizens. The MUt,tdtistd has a
large circulation among influential Mexi-
cans. Its attitude is likely to result in an
inquiry into the case by the Government of
Mexico. The M,ltudliStd declares the
Americans paid $500 in gold as blood
money for the delivery of Coy or Angel. Il
calls upon the supreme authorities OF Mex
leo to avenge this ontrage-this sale of n
Mexican citizen" Sheriff Sanchez of this
webb county, who took part in the hunt
for Gov, declares his eXiradition was regu-
lar aud satisfactory to the authorities at
Tamaulipas Sanchez was reticent about
the payment Of any money to the Mexican
officers The prisoner wss carried to San
Antonio last night under a heavy guard.
He will be delivered to the acting Sheriff of
Karnes county in day or two. Coy had an
accomplice named Garcia in the brutal
murder of Sheriff Elder, and Texas officers
are making efforts to secure him. An offi-
Ger is on his track in Coahuila. Il is greatly
feared trouble will grow out of this mat
ter. as the Mexicans are becoming much
excited.
