General Bee, commissioner of insur-

has received letter, dated July 81, 1886,
from Chihuahua, of which the following
is an extract:
Fortunately, l did not hear much OF
the war excitement until 1t was over, as l
generally get my news from Chihuahua
by the New York and st. Louis papers, so
that we hear of stirring events happening
near us some time after they occur. do
not know the facts in the Cutting case.
Frapmentary dispatches in the northern
papers have been my only source OF IN
formation, nor nave heard the Mexican
version of the affair. | only know that
the final result has been unfortunate for
Americans living in Mexico. The natives
have il that the show of force sent
by the governor of Chihuahua to Paso del
Norte frightened the American govern
ment from whatever position1t had taken.
This has satisfied them that the United
States is afraid of Mexico, and will make
them treat US with yet more annoyance
and iniustice. Flags have been flying
over the public buildings for day or so,
they say in honor of their victory over
the Americanos.
believe that the juxtaposition of
people so different, yet whose interests
must come to be interviewer, will finally
lead to war and a military protectorate or
absorption. In view of the closer rela-
tions brought about by railroads and the
necessity for constant intercourse, the
Mexican cannot be permitted to have his
own sweet way"
