CROSSING THE RIO GRANDE.
Permission for Mexican Troops to Follow
Garzn Into Texas

X Z
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.--The question OF al-
lowing The Mexican troops to enter the
United States territory In pursuit OF GnTza
and his band has been informally presented
to tho secretary OF state and was one of the
topics Of discussion at the cabinet meeting
today. II is understood that the Mexican
government will soon mako formal npplica-
tion for tho privilege referred TO. The INIT
tor was presented TO Secretary Blaine by
Senor Romoro, Mexican minister,n few
days ago. In the course Of general CON
vergAtlon III regard to Garza, Mr.. Romero
remarked that the Mexican authoritios we're
hnnipered somewhat In their operations
against the insnrrectionists by the habit VT
seeking shelter iii United States territory
whenever the Mexican soldiers were in
close proximity to them, and on the ether
hand crossing the line1nto Mexico when
necessary to avoid meeting United States
troops. He WAS Of opinion that the captnrs
Of Garza might bo effected without doubt
II the troops OF either country were allowed
TO follow him into contiguous foreign ter
rltory. In order to test the sentiment of
the government on the question he inti-
mated that the President Of Mex
leo would make formal application
to the president OF tho United states for
permission for Mexican troops to enter the
United States in pursuit OF CARA, in case
such course were rendered necessary. The
question is considered as serious, Involving
degree of dlplomatic and international
delicHcy OF unusual importancs. The nut
ter of damage that might be done Amcri-
can life rnd property renders the question
n difficult one to decide, particularly in
view of tho present friendly relations be-
tween the countries. It 10 understood that
the secretary Of state opposed the propo-
sition as tending I'd establish dangerous
