10 strike out the euacting words OF the bill

El Paso. Texas, December IA letter
has just been received from man now

disturbances headed by General Neri He
says Neri has not surrendered and that
his troops are not deserving him, on the
contrary, the revolutionlsts recently cap
tured and hanged General Viosue yilada
OF the Federal army, formerly a supreme
court judge. The revolutionists dealt
thus with vilada because the Federal
troops have hanged the few insurgents
they have captured and left their bodies
to rot IN the air. The writer. who was
formerly editor of T. paper In San Antonio.
says the report that Neri has been cap
tured Is entirely bnseiess and has been
circulated for the purpose of dscouraging
hts friends In other States. This state
mcnt is entirely IN accord with that OF q
Mexican officer who said Neri was on his
way by aea to San Francisco. United
States Consul Huston today forwarded
dispatch to the state department setting
forth a statement that the Mexican gov
ernment IN prescribing tho Times has vi
plated the international law and done vio-
lence to a business enterprise that has
right to the protection Of this govern
ment, This matter Is of growing import
ance TO other newspapers, In ms much as
Mexican official papers are printing the
strongest dcnunclntion OF the whole North
American press, indicating that all papers
