From Saturdays Daily
The governor yesterday, in answer to a
letter from the Mexican consul at San An
tonic asking for information in relation
to the killing of Mexican soldier at
Eagle Pass some days ago, wrote as fol
lows:
Hon. p. Ornelss, Consul of the Republic of Mexico,
San Antonio, Texas:
Ny Dear Sir-It is most pleasant for
me to be able to thoroughly reciprocate
your desire for the most friendly relation
with your nation and my deep regret that
it should be in the power of ill-advised
and rash persons to conflict and render
null the efforts we have jointly made for
the preservation of law and order on our
frontier.
The information | possessed was about
of the same tenor and effect as that pub
lIshed in the newspapers, being the official
report of the county attorney of Maverick
county. l transmitted TINS report to Hon.
T. f. Bayard secretary of state at Wash
ing'o on.
There is no doubt but what the matter
will be properly adjusted between the
two governments, and the proper steps
taken to prevent the recurrence of such a
breach of international comfy by the,
citizens of either country, to punish the
perpetrators in the present instance and
to compensate those damaged by their
action.
These matters, however, are in the hands
of tbs representatives. of the two republics,
and justice will doubtless be fully salts
fled when gentlemen like the Mexican
consul at San Antonio take cognIzance of
the affair. am respectfully,
L. S. Ross,
Governor of Texas.
