. TREATY WITH MEXICO.
Inst january America Was 1iNct
No,ice 10 Conclude Il New One.

Inst january America WAS etNc"
No,icc 10 Conclude II New One.
Mexico City, December 2o.-Hon, Man
ual Aparaz, assistant secretary OF the
foreign relations department. says regard
ing the pending negotiations for new
oxtradition treaty, that on the 9Th OF jan
uary of this year the Mexican government
served notice on the American government
looking to the abrogation Of the treaty OF
1861. BY treaty stipulations II becomes
void in twelve months from date OF such
notice. therefore on the 9Th of January,
1899. the two countries Will be without
a treaty The main reasons leading up To
this abrogation at the Instance of the Mex
lean government were in connection with
the so-called flbusterlng expedition OF
Cara and his associates along the frontier
few years ago.
The Mexican government claimed that
these men we're engaged in an extraditable
offense, including highway robbery. Tho
American government at first concurred
and delivered over some of the ring
leaders. Later on its opsnLoD was changed
and the government aecllned TO allow
the claim that they were political Offenders
and that If they delivered them 1t would
leave the door open on dangerous pre-
cedent, and they might be requireI to de-
liver over other foreign po!iiloal agitators.
such as Irish and Russians, and this point
was contested inch by inch but the Amer
lean government persisted In that view OF
the case and this precipitated the request
for abrogation OF the extradAion treaty.
AT the same time Minister (now ambas-
sador) Romero proposed that a new and
objectonless convention might ba nego-
tated, for instance along the lines OF II
convention proposed by Mexico in 1855,
which had laid asleep meanwhile In official
pigeon holes at Washington and Mexico
City.
Under these circumstances II now rests
wholly with the United States to proceed
with the matter. Mexico continued Apa-
r.az, had made in best faith a proposition
In 1888 for a new and more satisfactory
extradition treaty and again In 1898. even
while requesting the abrogatiol Of the cd
treaty. had suggested negotiations for "a
new one He admitted that tine American
representatlve in Mexico had a conference
with Minister Miriscal with regard 10 the
matter and that Mr. Romero was open 10
negotiations at any moment but beyond
making this abatement he could not go. for
all conversations regarding such delica G
diplomatic matters were held In sacred
confidence.
The assistant secretAry closed the Inter-
view by repeating that the entire maftsr
now rests with the Amrlcan government,
but that its advances would be heartily
met He\added thar Mexico would not favor
placing in the treaty any stipulation Civ
ing the United States exceptional prii-
leges: in other words there would be no

for Mexico has never had surr clause in
