Secy. Root and Mexican Ambas-
sador Sign a Treaty Regu-
lating the Same.
THE SENATE MUST APPROVE.
It il Does, win Remove What for
Twenty Years Has Been a
Source of Friction.
Mexico Gets AN Eighth OF River and
Guarantees United States Against
Suits for Claims.

Washington May 2l.--secy. Root fas
the United States and Ambassador
Casasus for the Mexican government
today signed a treaty regulating the
use OF the waters of tho RIO Grande
which, If approved by the senate, will
remove what has been for 20 years past
source Of friction IN the relations OF
the two countries.
For almost a century the Mexlcans
living along the lower river have made
large use Of It's waters for the purpose
Of rrigating their lands But In re-
cent years private companies on the
upper waters In the United states nave,
by the construction or wing dams d.
verified a large part OF the water to this
side Of the river. The MeXlcans have
preferred claims for the damage sus-
tanned but SO far without success. Now
the plans Of the reclamation service
have made It certain that practically
all Of the water viii be retained on
American soil unless some proper
scheme Of division can be arranged.
The construction OF the $4,000 900 dam
across the Rio Grande at Engel, n
NJ, brought the matter to climax and
led TO negotiations between the two
countries which eliminated in the tret.
IS signed today The underlying prln-
civic Of the convention Is the recogni-
ton Of the common law right OF the
Mexlcans to the use of a fair share
Of the waters OF the river, but as the
United states government is put 10
the entire expense OF building the great
dam and the canals the Mexican share
Is only a fractional proportion of the
whole flow. 1t Is estimated that the
impounded waters will suffice to lrri-
gate about 200. 600 acres OF the otherwise,
arid land and 1t Is stipulated that OF
this total sQ,O00 acre-feet Of water. which
is TO make arabic about $4,000 acres Of
land will be delivered on the Mexican
side Of the border each year. For its
part the Mexican government gusrRn-
tees The United States government
against any suit for liability on account
OF GLAZING Individual Mexicans have
so tar suffered through the diversion
OF water.
Opposition 10 the treaty is expected
on the part Of some OF ~" western
senator's, who express the belief that
either the United States is entitled TO all
Of the water without compensation in
view Of the great expense to which it
has been put by the work OF construct
ing the mitigating dams and canals, or
that IL the Mexican right Is to be recog-
nized at all its title should he purchased
outright by a cash payment.
