AUSTIN, Texas, July 31.-Governor Ire
land having boon advised Of the surrender
and execution of Arresures telegraphed to
Linn, the American Consul ct Piedras
Negras. for particulars. and has received
the following reply:
EAGLE PASS, July 80, 1886.
Arresures was arrested by Deputy Sher-
if Diaz at Eagle Pass by an order OF
Sheriff Oglesby on the night of the Goth.
He was handcuffed, and in Is minutes was
delivered to Mexican officers across the
Rio Grande river. Sheriff Oglesby claimed
that he acted on a warrant OF County
Judge Hoffstetter, who says Oglesby per.
suaded him to sign the order for Arresures'
arrest and delivery. There were no papers
for his arrest from Mexico, except q letter
from Mondragon, the Captain of the State
Rangers in Coahulia, who made q general
charge of horse stealing against Arresures.
A protest against being delivered to Next
can officers was strongly made by Ar
resures, who insisted that he would be
killed by Mondrsgon. his personal enemy.
He appealed to me for protection on the
morning of July 81, and / at once de-
manded his return TO Texas on the ground
Of his being kidnapped, and also had
Oglesby demand the prisoner on the same
grounds. Both demands were refused by
Mondragon. At / o'clock at night Ar
resures was taken from Jail and brutally
murdered by Mondragon's troops. In 1878
A%rresures made declaration OF citizenship
in Movery county. He lived with his
family in Eagle Pass at the time of his
arrest, and he was an omnibus driver.
The best citizens in Eagle Pass and Pied.
ras Negras testify to his good character.
Sheriff Oglesby says that he had q private
understanding with Moudragon, by which
an escaped murderer from Texas, for whom,
q large reward had been offered, was TO be
delivered to Oglesby on an exchange for
Arresures. Public indignation is very
great on both sides Of the river over this
affair. (Signed): E. D. LINN,
United States Consul.
Governor Ireland has written to the
United States Secretary Of State as fol-
lows:F
I have the honor to indorse the copy OF a
telegram just received from Hon. E. D.
Linn, American Consul at Piedras Negras.
This man Francisco Arresures has been
most foully murdered by Mexican au-
thorties, and it is but a repetition OF
the insult and outrages committed
upon American citizens by the people and
authorities on the right bank Of the Rio
Grande. While no possible excuse can be
given for the part taken by Texas officers
in the illegal arrest and delivery to the
Mexican authorities, still nothing in pallia-
ton of the foul murder has or can be Of
fered by the Mexican authorities. The
persons, whoever they are, who we're en-
gagged in the illegal arrest will be perse-
cuted, and demand in the name of the
tate and its people that this State and her
people must depend upon themselves for
protection, and the necessary redress can
and will be obtained. / am very respect
fully Your, obedient servant,
JOHN IRELAND, Governor.
The Governor has revoked the commits
sion Of Joseph Hoffstetter, as extrsdition
agent. The affair causes a great deal of ex-
citement among the authorities and citi-
zens OF Austin. Governor Ireland says
that if the Federal Government does not
do something Texas will act in the matter.
