Wants Permission to Invade United States
Territory with Her Troops.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-A proposition to
permit foreign troops to invade this country
came to light to-day. The matter was
presented to Secretary Blame by Senior
Romero, the Mexican msnister, few days
ago. in the course of q general conversation
in regard to the case of Cara. Mr. Romero
remarked that the Mexican authorities
were hampered somewhat in the 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 into Mexico when necessary
to avoid meeting with United States
troops. He was of the opinion that the
capture of CARA might be effected without
doubt II the troops of either county were
allowed to follow him into contiguous
order to test the sentiment of this govern.
ment on the question the President of
Mexico would make formal application to
the President of the United States for per-
mission for Mexican troops to enter United
States territory in pursuit of CARA In case
such q course is rendered necessary.
The question is considered to be most
serious one. involving degree of diplO-
matte and international delicacy of I'M
usual Importance. The matter OF damage
that might be done 20 American life and
property renders the question difficult
one to decide, particularly In view of the
present friendly relations between the
United States and Mexico. 1t is under
stood that the Secretary of State is opposed
to the proposition. rs tending to establish q
dangerous precedent in the treatment of
political offenders. No action will be taken
by this government. however. unless the
matter Is formally presented. Under
loDg-standing agreement troops of Mexico
are permitted to crOss the border in pursuit
of he tile Indians. and the same privilege
has b N accorded TO the troops of both
counhi-s employed in connection with the
work of marking the international bonn
dairy. The privilege, however. has never
been asked or employed In q case like the
present. involving important political con-
alterations.
The Clergy Not Fomenting Revolution.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. s.-The report
received to the effect that the clerical
party was backing the CARA instruction
on the frontier has caused a big row
among the liberal and clerical journals of
this city. All the liberal pap ers printed the
dispatch. and made. in many cases. some
very forcible and damaging comments re-
garding tho clericals. The Tempo of to-
morrow. the leading journal representing
the clerical interests in the republic. will
say that the news Is utterly false, and that
the clericals have nothing to do with the
Cara trouble. The TEMPO furthermore
states that lie Trait de Union deliberately
lies in ali article that says that Augustine
de lturbide is mixed MP In the present
frontier middle. A dnel Will probably fol-
low. 1t is only about three weeks ago that
the editor of lie Trait de Union and the
editor of the Tempe fought q duel with
revolvers. and Deither was hurt The Arch
bishop of Mexico denies that the clergy are
aiding the CARA revolution.
