THE MEXICAN SITUATION,
The Opinion Prevalent That Arms
Must settle the Difficulty.

The Opinion Prevalent That Arms
Must Settle the Difficulty.
Washington, July 2S-People who
study international affairs believe now
more than ever that the differences be-
tween the United States and Mexico will
not be settled till there is war. For
the first time in many years the execu-
tive branch of the government is greatly
stirred up over the failure of our sister
republic to release certain Americans
held there in the filthy prisons upon
technlcalitles and charges of which they
are not guilty. A great deal of feeling
is being created in the circles where
most is known of the condition of affairs,
and the probabilities are that scrim-
mage would result in short order if we
had lighting men at the heads of our
affairs. The objections to the course of
Mexico are not based upon the specific
abuses and outrages found in the i'm
prisonment of the Texas editor, Cutting,
and two or three others, but the general
policy prevailing. Under the laws IN
Mexico, Americans sojourning there on
any mission may be and are thrown into
horrible dungeons upon the slightest
protest, and the party OF whose instance
the arrest is made can control the time
of imprisonment by simply paying the
costs of confinement, which amount to
scarcely more than dollar week.
Then when the prisoner is finally re-
leased there is no redress. The courts
afford no place for rightipga wrong per-
petrated upon foreigners. If an Ameri-
can in Mexico displesses native he is
arrested and Jailed, and there he remains,
with some trif1ing false charge till the
person who has had him imprisoned
chooses to let him go. There is no pre-
liminary examination or trial, as in this
country, and the bail procedure and
habeas corpus, for some reason, do not
apply there, especially to Americans.
A treaty with Mexico for the purpose
of giving American subjects more speedy
trial is talked of in the event Of the
efforts now pending for the release OF
our prisoners fail, The suggestion has
frequently been made in diplomatic
circles that the procedure for criminal
trials in Mexico should be changed,
especially as they applied to Ameri-
cans, but the reply is repeated that
Americans are no better in Mexico than
Mexicans, and that the same law, and nc
other, applies to all people within the
borders of the republic.

Francisco Kasures F0nIiy Murdered
by an Ofncial-A Case for the Ameri-

Galveston, Tex, July 29-Francisco

who was arrested and surrendered night
before last, without hearing, by
County Judge Hoffstetter. upon demand
of Chief OF Police Mondragon, OF Piedras
Negras. of Mexico, shat he was q horse
thief, vas taken from Mexican prison
house eight hours after his incarcera-
ton, and carried two miles below PIedraB

command of Mondragon. The muir.
dered man had taken out hie papers OF
citizenship August 18th, 1873. and prom.
inent men III Eagle Pass and Piedras
Negras bear testimony that Rasures was
an upright and honest man. s4ks
The secret underlying this infamous
outrage is that Rhsures had won the
atts s.ctlons of q women of whom Ohief
AAandragon was enamored. Mondragon.
ss, airing vengeance detailed two OF his
trnsty lIentenants one night to murder
his rival. Rssures badly disabled his
assailants and escaped to Eagle Pass.
Mondragon, however, determined upon
his removal, trumped up charge oil
horse theft against him and had him ex-
tradited and shot. The night that
Rasures was delivered to the Mexican
authorities Mondragon left for Saltillo,t
not, however, before having delivered
orders to his lieutenants to execute
RasureE. The victim in pathetic let
ter appealed to United States ConHul
Lynn to save HIM saying thet he was
an American citizen gailtless OF any
crime against any law, and that Mon
dragon had him arrested to crafty his
vengeance. This letter was delivered
to Consul Lynn ten hours after its
author had been basely shot. Prior to
| receiving the communication Lynn
| had already appeared before the
authorities of Pedras NegrAs and de.
manded, inasmuch as Rasures was an
American citizen and had been illegally
extradited without proper representa-
tion or hearing, that he be forthwith
released. Mondragon said that Kasures
was out OF their hands, his case having
been transferred to o higher court at
Saltillo, where the consul would have to
make his demands. Subsequent events
prove this assertion OF Mondragon false.
Consul Lynn has telegraphed the facts
of the case to Secretary Bayard, at She
same time informing the state depart-
ment that reported outrsges to Ameri-
can citizens on the Rio Grande and IN
Mexico were not exaggerated but true,
and suggesting vigorous action on the
part OF the general government for their
protectlon. The excitement here over
this terrible outrage is at dangerous
pitch, and the county officials who were
party to it are roundly denounced
and will be summafily removed FROM
Office. ~ s.AA as.lLla Gstl9 - 80.

. Lima, o., July 28-The following re-
markable story was related by reliable
farmer who lives near the county line
between this and Mercer county: Last
week while at work in the fields, q
farmer by the name of Sylvester Redya
owner of several hundred acres OF fine
farming land in Mercer county, began
cursing in most shocking manner
about the drought ipjnring his crop, and
wound up with an oath that he would
cut Gods heart out If he would come
down. No sooner were the words uttered
than vivid streak of fire resembling
lightning came Down from the
oioudiess sky and struck Redyan. HIS
companions, who were in the harvest
field with him, were rendered insensible
for several minutes. When they recoy-
cred, they were nearly frightened to
death at the sight which presented itself.

Washington. July 28-During the
debate on the sundry civil bill in the
house this afternoon, the clause increas-
ing the appropriation for the detection
of land frauds was being considered, and
MIR. Cobb was speaking for it, when he
turned his attention to the northwest.
"Why, sir" said he, addressing the
chair, ninety per cent of the land
entries IL the north west are FRAUDULENT,
and the land commissioner has been
kept busy setting them aside"

inquired Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska. A

"bnt do know that the settlers have
been appealing to the secretary of the
interior to have them set aside"
why do settlers have to appeal to

they are fair| persisted Mr.. Dorsey.

At this Mr.. Dorsey sprang to his

There were cries for MIR. Laird, the
Nebraska member who struck Mr.. Cobb

A meeting of the taxpayers of Yank-
ton was held last evening at which was
submitted the proposition of the water
committee of the council TO extend the
water supply system of Yankton. The
proposition was calmly and intelligentIy
discussed in oil its bearings and in the
end it was the conclusion of the meeting
not to enter at present upon the sug.
gested work OF improvement. The
opinion prevailed that 1t might be taken
up in detail and extensions made grad.
ually from current funds. A conclusion
of this nature becomes obligatory under
the law just passed by congress relative
to the Indebtedness Of counties and mu-
nicIpalities within territories, which law
fixes the limit of bonded indebtedness
at four per cent of the assessed valua-
ton. This congressional law, which
has passed both houses, but had not been
signed by tue president ct last accounts,
provides that no city shall ever become
indebted in any manner to an amount,
including existing Indebtedness, exceed
ing four per cent of the value of its taxa
ole property according to the last pre-
ceding assessment. The assessed valua-
ticn of Yankton city, just returned, is,
in round numbers, one million dollars
and its existing Indebtedness, including
school bonds, is 93,6S6.30. The assess
ment for the current year was made
upon the old plan of low valuation,
giving probably about fifty per cent. of
the true valuation. But even upon the
basis of its actual valuation of two mil
lion dollars our city has exceeded by
over $4,000 its percentage OF bonded
indebtedness under the recent act of
congress and could not, if it would
issue any more bonds for public i'm.
provements. In view of this condition
of affairs it is useless to further consider
the suggestion of more bonds in behalf
of an extension of the water system
The work must either be done by direct
taxation or with the funds of citizens
advanced upon certificates from the city
to be returned at some future period
A suggestion has been made relative
to sewerage which could be carried out
by general agreement among the own
ers of property to be benefited by sucE
an improvement. The proposition il
for lot owners to advance
the funds necessary for sewerage
purposes as a loan to the city and take
certificates of Indebtedness. 1t is esti
mated that about fifty dollars per twenty
five feet front would pay for th,
work. As this is about the only wa.
the improvement can be accomplished
the proposition is worth considering.
Some practicable plan for extending
the water system is almost necessit y
The water is needed and the proposed
extension is just what would make the
water works self supporting institu
ton. There is every evidence that the
revenue from the sale of water, unde
the plan presented by the water com
mlttee at the tax payers meeting. woult
provide for all the expense attached tt
the luxury of pure water for the peopl,
from the artesian supply on the hill.
