CRY OF MEXICO, Nov. 21.-The bound
ary line between Mexico and Guatemala
has always been q source of contention
between the two republics. and bitter
disputes have arisen over it from time
to time for the last 40 years.
1t was in 1880 that Mexican colonel
crossed the Guatemalan frontier, near
the town OF Peten. with small force in
pursuit of some marauders, and not be-
ing as Hospitality entertained as be ex
pscted. he seized the alcalde of the
town. and. unssddling his horse, placed
the saddle on that high functionary's
back, and then mounting him. rode him
with epurs through the streets of the
town. The arrogant colonel was repri-
manded by his government and an apol-
ogy wss made to Guatemala, couched in
the most select phrases known to Cas-
lillian diplomacy, and the incident was
closed so far ss the two governments
were concerned. With the alcalde it
was different. He was henceforth known
TO his people as Eel burro," and was
disgraced man. and shortly afterwards
resigned hiB office, and, il 10 said, died OF
. broken heart.
such incidents naturally did not tend
to create a good feeling between the two
countries, and both governments ap-
pointed commissioners to define the
boundaries and on the 9th of Septem.
Der, 1882, treaty WAS signed at the
City of Mexico which defined tho line
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, thus
settling a onestion which had been
pending for so years. Said treaty fur

Five Hundred Colorado Utes Invade
Utah.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 27.-Governor West
received letters today from the sheriff
and other officials OF San Juan county,
Utah, asking for assistance in driving
out 500 Ute Indians. These Indians
have come over from the Los Pinos
gency in Colorado, bringing with them
10000 sheep and 1000 cattle. They
atate that they were sent by Indian
Agent Day, who told them that they
had right to occupy these lands. They
have driven the settlers from the grazing
lands and announce that they will fight
rather than return to Colorado. About
800 Navajo Indians have also left their
reservation in this territory and seem
to have formed an alliance with the
Utes. There are not sufficient white
settlers in the county to cope with the
Indians. They are in belligerent
mood and the settlers are greatly
alarmed. Governor West Immediately
notified the secretary of the interior and
asked that troops be sent to drive the
Indians back to Colorado.

When one of the boundary rivers, the
Usumacinta, was reached it was found
that the data furnished By Sei1br Irun-
RarRy, an engineer sent by Guatemala
to survey the land before the treaty was
made, was not accurate, since, according
to euch data and the respective treaty,
the Usumacinta river ought to serve az
. boundary line from q point situated
considerably above in its course, which
left in Mexico very important part of
what had been coneidered Guate malan
territory.
The government OF Guatemala held
that the UsumaciDta began at a point
below the one fixed in the treaty and
that the boundary line ought to he the
Chixoy river. situated west of the
Usumacinta. Out of considerations of
equity~ Mexico accepted the ideas OF
Guatemala on condition that no new
difficulties should be raised by that
country in the final marking of the
boundary line. Owing to several causes
and after several International argu-
ments, the time in which the boundary
was to be surveyed, etc., ran out. How
ever, quite recently another agreement
was signed, which is still pending be-
fore the congresses of both countries.
In the meantime Miles Rock, an
American engineer in the Guatemalan
service, traced an arbitrary line, leav-
Ing on the eide of Guatemala territory,
which IRON time immemorial had been
unquestionably in the possession of
Mexico. Now, from this point the cause
of the present trou BILE rises. The Guate-
malan government Issued permita for
the cutting of valuable lumber within
the confines OF this debatable land,
which was looked upon by the Mexican
Inhabitants with natural diepleaeure.
The first actual trouble occurred when
certain Guatemalan intruders had
trouble with Mr.. Miguel Torruco, q
Mexican citizen operating a lumb Der
camp in the Tenosique dietrict, where
the debatable land 10 situated. The
Guatemalan authorities of Peten issued
warrants and arrested and removed Elk
of Torruco's workmen.
An American, d. F. SCHNEIDER, who
was connected in q lumber contract
with Torruco, is with the latter heavy
financial loser by the hostile operations
of the said Guatemalgns. This incident
raised great indignation in the states of
Chiapas and Tobasco and the local Qua
t0malan authorities at once aent an in
vhding force across the little dividing
stream OF Aqua Azul, and erected their
national colors on Mexican soil. Intense
local excitement followed and the fed
eral government of this country WAS
forced to make some hostile display TO
counteract that made by Guatemala.
The Gnti-opposition prees OF this cap.
ital have never hesitated to hound or
the government. and have done their
best to exaggerste the acts of Guate-
mala. From the attention paid to the
subject by the press, an intense feeling
