Ex-Governor Cornell has written an exceed

not convicted he was simply punished for con-

THE EXISTING SITUATION ON THE
MEXICAN FRONTIER.
Uncle Sam Proposes 10 Prevent Further
Violations Of the Neutrality Laws
Cara Gaining Strength.
rBy telegraph to the Dispatch


WAsHNoroS. d. O.. December 2s.-Acf-
ing-Secretary Grant to-day said that he
regarded the situation on the Mexican
frontier as serious and that the War Do
partment was exerting itself to prevent
further violations of the neutrality laws
by Garza's band of revolrtionists.
II necessary to prevent those men nom
crossing backwards and forwards between
Mexico and the United States the entire
military force under General Stanlev's
command will be distributed along the
north bank of the Rio Grande. The United
States Marshal also has unlimited power
in the matter of augmenting bis POSSES,
and will cooperate fully with the military
authorities in the effort to arrest the dis
turbers of the peace Of Mexico. II Ia with
in his discretion TO employ the texas
rangers IN this capacity, and as this force
Of armed and mounted police IS wen
acquainted with the country and .he
habits of the Mexicans along the border;
Secretary Grant said the Marshal Will
doubtless avail himself of their services
GARzA's MOVEMENT STRENGTHENING.
It is believed at the War Department
that Garza's movement IS gaining In
strength. notwithstanding the efforts OF
the United States and Mexican troops to
restrain it. and some officers recall the fact
that Diaz. the President OF Mexico,
reached his present station through reyo-
lutionary movement. conducted across the
boundary. just as Cara Is conducting ms
campaign.
Inasmuch as the Rio Grande Is fordable
seven months of the year, and the, reyoiu.,
tionists have many friends on each side OK
the river who keep them advised promptly
of every movement of the Goyernment
forces. the task before General Stanley's
troops of preventing them from crossing is
full OF difficulty.

Alabamians Determined to BE Rid OF the
simsites-Two More Lynchings.

simsites-Two More Lynchings.
(By telegraph to the lhspatch-l
MOBILE. Ala. December 2S.-Terrible
scenes are being enacted IN Choctaw
county. The citizens are wrought up TO
such a pitch Of excitement that q war of
determination is being waged against the
Simsites. Since Christmas two, more, OF
the deluded people have been hoisted TO
death at the ropes end.
A special 10 the ReG,ster from Shubuta
this morning tells of the lynching Satur-
day night of John Sims, brother of Bob
Sims, and of Moxley Sims, Bob's nephew.
According TO the last report received q
crowd was in full pursuit of negro who
is reported to have taken part IN the Mill
len massacre of December 2}d. When
caught he will be strung up.
The most alarming thing about the stu
alton is the fact that Neal Sims, brother
of Bob and the man who rescued Bob from
a deputy-marshal at Bladon Springs. IN
Choctaw county last August, is still at
large. and IL determined to averge Bob's
death oG the slayers of his brother. Neal
is desperate man. He firmly believes
that his brother was q prophet from God
and had the Divine sanction TO kill OF
the devils agents-namely the officers Of
the law.
A special dispatch to the Regisir says
that Neal Sims had collected forty Simsites
and sent word Sunday that he intended to
assault and burn the village of Womack Hill
before the night of that day. The people
were greatly excited. and all of Sunday
were masslng at Womack Huh To defend
the place.
The people on Saturday morning, after
lypchlng Bob Sims and his four follow
ers. wrecked Sims's house and burned it to
the ground, and then killed every living
thing on the place except the
members of his family. who es-
caped to a height boris house and who will
move as soon as possible to another State.
The bodies Of Bob Sims and three of the
Savages were taken down on Satur-
day and thrown over the wall into the
graveyard. John Savage still hangs sus-
