gaining fresh acoss.iona and the list was as.
Stunning formidable proportions when the

The news from Dan.zio has had very

Toe boundary line between Mexico

volutionists have very little difficulty in

There is nc question, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, that the United States
troops do all III their power to prevent
our soil being made a base for operations
of the kind referred to, but there are net
enough of them to take care Of our long
frontier, aud as a consequence there are
frequent incursions from this side into
Mexico. The latter nation usually dis,
plays SO much energy in hunting down
Apaches when they undertake to raid its
soil that it seems surprising that the
slender bands of alleged reVolutionists
should skip forward aud back ward With
%impunity. Can it be possible that the
people Of Northern Mexico are in sym.
pathy with the revolutionists, or so-called
bandits, and do not desire to catch thema
The circumstances seem to point that
way.
