Mexican Troops Want to Cross the River

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. Sin the course of
general conversation in regard to CARA, Next
can Minister Romero remarked that the Mexi.
can authorities were hampered somewhat in
operations against the insurrectionists by their
habit OF seeking shelter in United States terri
tory whenever Mexican soldiers were in close
proximity to them, and on the other hand
crossing the line into Mexico when necessary
to avoid meeting United States troops. He was
ofthe opinion that the capture of Cara might
be effected without doubt il the troops Of either
country were allowed to follow him into con-
tiguous foreign territory. In order to test the
sentiments of the government on the question,
he intimated that the president of Mexico would
make formal application to the president
OF the United States for permission for Mexican
troops to enter the United states in pursuit of
CARA in case such q course were rendered
necessary. The question is considered serious,
involving = degree of diplomatic and interna-
tional deiieacy OF unusual Importance. The mat
ter OF the damage that might be done to Ameri-
can life and property renders the question a
difficult one 10 decide, particularly in view of
the present friendly relations between the coun-
tries II is understood the secretary OF state op-
poses the proposition as tending 10 establish
dangerous precedent. No action will be TAKEN

THAT pusTuTTIcE BUSINESS.

Last Saturday Albuquerque started
off IN true city style with free postal
delivery, and she is the only town in
the Territory that has it. Las Vegas,
with population fully as large but
much more scattered, still keeps up
the expensive luxury of two post
Offices. We say expensive, because
there is hardly an East Side business
man but has to make at least one,
and sometimes two trips day to the
West Side office for his mail, in adj
dition to going to the east side
office. In addition to this any other
letters for the West Side are adver-
tised in the East Side postoffice. If
the people of Las Vegas will only
stand in and make a determined
push for it we can soon have only
one Office and free delivery. Even
if we should not have free delivery
it would be gain, az one centrally
located Office would help to build up
the town and save this trouble we
have with two offices. Who will
lead off to abolish this nuisance?
