KIDS BAND OF APACHES.
Among these. in the first pl

"Among these, in the first place,
figure the agreements between the two
countries for the pursuit of the hostile
Indians'whO infested the frontier, and
who are d constant menace TO life and
property, as much to our own citizeo 5
as to those of the Americans. By
virtue to these agreements, the Indians
who often, (depredations having been
committed in one or the other Of the
two countries) found safety by fleeing
to the other, where they could not be
pursued by the forces Of the country
injured, are today pursued whenever
the opportunity presents, without halt
ing and without quarter, by the troops
of one or the other nation Frequently
attacked and defeated, their depreda-
tiOns in great part have ceased. and
they are today much rarer and less
aggravated. Owing to recent upris-
ing of a part of the Indians of Kid S
band, and at the suggestion of the
United states, the government, duly
authorized by congress, has signed a
new agreement to this end, which will
continue until this rebellious band is
either eXterminated or reduced to
obedience.

WATER FOUNDRY.


son the 1sr of May, 1889, a supple
| mental agreement to the treaty of No
vembe y. 1884, was made, with the
object in view of avoid ing the difficult
les which the d-vaetatiOUS in the beds
Of the Rio Grande and Colorado rivers
had caused, and another commission
was appointed, called the international
Water Boundry Commission: charged
to study the manner in which to solve
these difficulties. This commission
has edeclared professionally that the
dividing line passes through the centre
of the channel of the Rio Grande, be-
tween Laredo, Texas, and Laredo,
Tamaulipas, and has agreed upon the
repair of the extensive works on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande and
authorized the construction of other
Elementary works.
THE INTERNATIONAL DAM
"The scarcity of water in the Rio
Grande has caused considerable dam
age to agricultural interests on both
sides. The government being DESTROYS
of remedying this failure as far as pos
sible, has given Instructions TO our
representative in Washington to
arrange with the government of the
United States that the International
Water Boundary Commission shall
study the various existing projects for
the construction of an international
dam, to the end that they may arrive
at an agreement leading to the con-
struction of Il dam which will permit OF
irrigating the adjoining country.

EXTRACTION OF GRIMM
THE BOUNDARY LINE.

San equally satisfactory solution has
been reached in the boundary question
between the two countries, which was
especially difficult to resolve on account
particularly, of the deterioration of
alignment, and the changes which
annually take place in the beds of the
Rio Grande and Colorado rivers, these
changes giving a movable and unstable
character to part of the dividing line.
The American government has
manifested The best disposition to
facilitate compliance with the treaty
of November y, 1854. In fact, on
February Is, 1889, the convention was
renewed. According to this, q mixed
commission of experts was named for
the re-establishm"nt of the destroyed
monuments of the line. A commission
was organized and began its labOrs,
which were TO be completed in five
wears.

THE ASSAULT ON NOGALES

son the 18th of last August. some
bandits, organized in the United
States, assaulted the Mexican town of
Nogales, but were beaten off, many OF
the assailants, and UNFORTUNATELY some
of the Mexican employees being killed.
Both the troops and the private citi-
zens of the United States lent OppOrtuue
aid in the pursuit of this band. Our
minister in Washing ton has been
instructed to call the attention OF the
state department to this matter. AS
soon as the judicial report which is
now being prepared in Sonora is com
pleted, the extradi;ion of the crimi-
nails. or the punishment of those who
cannot be eXtradited. will be asked.

treaty now being arranged for the eX-
tradition of criminals, in which we will
endeavor to avoid the Inconvenience
which experience has shown existed

been initiated. which Will facilitate its

In View of the French Anti-Hog Bill

Washington, Dec. 2l.-The action Of
the French chamber OF deputies yester-
day in passing a government bill in
creasing the duties on hogs, hog prod

country toward making reciprocity ar

as a condition OF such an agreement

soon after directed to return 10 Paris,

French authorities. No word has been
