| In letter dated the goth inst. for
 warding the above to me. Major J. NJ.
 T. Partello, in referring to this sub ject, says:
 'I enclose you copy of order promul- | gating sentence of John T. Humphries. You will remember that he was the
 man who wrongfully slandered your
 country by stating he had been in a
 Mexican prison for a number of years.
 If you care to, you can send this or
 der to the press for publication, in or ! der that those who read may know
 that he has been justly punished" ! And lastly, as to the organization by
 the Mexican government of an army of adventurous American soldiers in 1 Sonora to free the country from the Yaqui Indian raiders, I beg to offer
 the following explanatory translation | from "El lmparcial," one of the lead | ing journals published in the City of | Mexico. dated the 18th inst. Under
 the heading, "A Great American Ca nard," it says:
 The Chronicle, of San Francisco, according to reliable reports which we have in our possession, published a special telegram dated day before yes terday in Fl Paso, Texas, saying that the Mexican government had com missioned L. Boido, an adventurous American soldier, to free it from the Yaqui Indians, and that he has com menced the campaign, taking as assist ants Hank Polkerd and Samuel Hol- stenstein and forty-five American dep uties; that this expedition has pow CTS to dispose of private property the
 same as any other, in state of war We are accustomed to the publi- cation by certain American newspa- pers of notices relative to ourselves,
 as sensational as they are inaccurate,
 and which pretend to impress the minds of their readers by divulging
 matters and issuing assertions which have become tiresome to deny and which, in general, have not even the appearance of truth. However, frank ly, seldom has there been published in the neighboring republic, report, we will not say more inaccurate. but rather more absurd, than this to which
 We refer, and to the denial which by this time should have been issued by the Associated Press to the newspa-
 pers which published the article, we add our own more energetic and em- phatic, if possible.
 SAA.1 SCi NSilh lS Nut SIU- pendous version of the Chronicle, is that the government of Sonora has ap- pointed L. Boido, a Mexican and resi- dent of Guaymas, to organize and di- rect an auxiliary force composed of Pima Indians, a tribe of that region, which force is intended to cooperate with the federal and local troops now in pursuit and punishment of the bandit Yaquis.
 This is not the first occasion on which the Pima Indians have rendered efficacious services in this kind Of an expedition. distinguishing themselves by their knowledge of the country, by their endurance of the work and privations, and by their skill in pur- suit of the Yaqui Indians. For these reasons the government of Sonora has thought of creating that auxiliary force.
 Far removed from this, which is the absolute truth in the matter, is the pretended expedition of adventurous soldiers, among whom figure forty five American deputies, which the San Francisco Chronicle has so promptly published.
 "The Mexican government, happily, does not. need to confide to a foreign adventurous soldier the defense of it's interests nor the protection of the inhabitants of the country, and much less so in view of the fact that the success it has achieved in the way of public security is we'll known. Pub lie security will, within a short time, be established in the Yaqui country, thanks to the activity of our own au- thorities and the custodians of the public rights, and in this, as in many other cases, we will know how to pro- vide ourselves with the means to fully comply with our mission or order and progress.
 There is not, therefore, a single word of truth in the statements made by the Daily Chronicle, generally so circumspect and conservative, and its correspondent in Fl Paso has abused his trust in sending in a re- port so radically false, and above all, has held up to ridicule the newspa- per in question and the common mind when, in this manner, he affirms that the expedition organized with foreign elements, to re-establish security in the Yaqui country, has powers to dis
