A LESSON LEARNED. 8
A special to the Chronicle from
Nogales, A. t., says the Secretary Of
War in the City of Mexico has notified
the Mexican officers along the border
that hereafter the penalty of death
will be imposed for crossing over into
the United States with troops and in
terfering with the affairs OF citizens
Of a friendly nation. This action was
taken after inquiry into the cases of
Col. Arviza and Lieut.. Gutierrez, who
rescued prisoner from the American
authorities. The court martial at
Guaymas sentenced them to be shot
for the offense, and on appeal to the
supreme military tribunal, sentence
was affirmed. President Diaz, how
ever, commuted the penalty to i'm
at hard labor for twenty
years in the military prison in the
State Of Santiago.
