EXTRACTION FROM MEXICO.
Secretary Hay Transmits n Letter to
the District Commissioners.

The District Commissioners are in re-
ceipt of letter from the State Depart
ment. relative to the extradition from Mex
leo of fugitives from justice of the United
States.
Secretary Hay is transmitting a circular
containing information on the subject
states that the extradition from Mexico
of fugitives from the justice of the United
States has been the subject of more or less
misunderstanding between the two Govern
ments. The recent failure Of the Mexican
authorities. he says, to surrender at the
request of the Governor of Texas. Leonard
Gonzales, accused of murder in that State.
gave occasion for the careful study and con-
sideration OF the question between the
Mexican Ambassador and the Department
of State
1T appears says Secretary Hay. that
the failure to grant the extradition re-
quested in some cases was due, not TO any
motive of the Mexican Government to re-
fuse the request on the ground of the Mex
lean citizenship of the accused, but be-
cause the demanding authorities had not
sufficiently complied with the terms Of the
extradition treaty"
The Secretary thinks that the Cor Eales
case is illustrative of defects in the OBJ
servance OF the necessary formalltieS. With
a view, therefore, to arriving at a more
distinct understanding Of the formalities
required under the treaty OF the United
States authorities, Secretary Hay writes
that he invited the Mexican Ambassador to
a conference on the subject.
AT this conference" says the Sec
rotary, the Ambassador explained the
laws of the Mexican Republic bear
ing on the question, and stated that
the laws of the several States are substan-
TALLY the same as those of the Mexican
Federal Government He afterward furn-
ished the Department q memorandum OF
the conference and also a copy in English
and Spanish OF the provisions of the Mex
lean code. The observance of the strict
requirements of the said laws on the part
of the demanding authorities Will. il s be-
lieved. lead tc satisfactory results in the
future"
Secretary Hay closes his letter By saying
that within the experience of the Depart
ment the corresponding requirements OF
our laws on the Mexican Government in
such cases have been serupulousIy oo-
served.
