SAN ANTONIO, November l3.-The open
iBg day of the San Antonio International

deep mud. Five thousand people, how
ever, we're on the grounds when Mr.. j. s..
Alexander, president of the association,
officially inaugurated the great industrial
enterprise in whichAmerica and Mexico are
associated. The formalities were brief

guished representatives of Mexico.
Judge Reyes responded in Spanish as
the representative of the Mexican gov
ernment accepting the courtesies in the
same spirit in which they we're ten
dered and expressing gratitude for the
same.
At this juncture Mr.. Alexander read the
telegram from President Diaz, as follows:

THE COLON kELCY.

EDITOR BULLETIN The question
which has become of paramount in
terest with all classes of citizens of
late, will he settled to-night; Major
Hebbard having called n meeting of
officers of the two volunteer bat
talions at the Honolulu Rifles Arm
ory, this evening, to decide the mat
ter under the provisions of the
Military Act. The question in
volved is of great Importance by
reason of the responsibility of the
position, and the absolute necessity
of placing at the head of the forces
the best military man available, one
who thoroughly understands the
situation, and has the ability, nerve
and decision to cope with any emer-
gency which an exceptional position
may at any moment submit us to.
The most prominent candidate for
this position is Col. Ashford; but
the political faction represented by
the Advertiser" have been making
a bitter fight against him, and have
most injudicously dragged in poll
tical and personal arguments, which
no fair minded or patriotic man
should listen to for moment. The
facts set forth by Col. Ashford in
his interview published in your col
umns on the 9TH inst, constitute q
complete answer to his detractors;
and not one of those facts have his
opponents dared to deny. But what
is to be thought of men who try to
raise the race issue against him,
by inducing officers of the Rifles to
combine against him, "because GER
tain of the native officers support
him" and then, when they fail in
that. combine with native officers to
defeat him by q native candidate?
This is the present status of the
matter, according to this mornings
"Adyertiser. -
Now, let us ask in all seriousness,
what security is there for the COM
munty with "wooden-head," as
commander of the forces? Or n man
whose anteccdcnts point toward sub
seryicncy to prcrOgative? What is
Major Nowlein's claim? Efficiency? =?
No one pretends to think so. AS
Major Hebbard is out of the race,
it is not worth while to enquire as to
his military qualifications; though
who can forget the sickly existence
of the Rifles while he was in COM
mand of the single company of
which they were then composed
And who has failed to see the rapid
deterioration and disintegration
which have taken possession of the
corps since Col. Ashford's resigna,
ton left the Major as commanding
| officer?
On the other hand, no one Ques-
tions Col. Ashford's fitness for the
position. And at a time when the
conditions of our mixed population
warn us to adopt and act upon the
motto: SENIrER PARATUs-which he
as the organizer and commander o
our corps, placed upon the Rifles
shield, let us have n man with a
least little brains backed by som'
military experience.
