Bacon thu alleged violation of the neutrality law
along the Mexican border Senior Creel again
recei,ed most positive assurances of the inten-
lions Of this government to prosecute all Of
tenders against neutrality. An increase of the
army posts on the border is possible, as Mexico
already has Indicated her intention to add to
the number which she now has. An effort
slsc win re made for a more liberal application
Of the extradi1ion laws so that persons claim
ing immunity on the ground that the charges
against them are political but who after

le eytradited.
Tl.zre are seven army posts along the border
between Mexico and Texas and Arizona -Four
Of these are garrisoned-Huachuca. Ariz,. and
Bliss Clark and Mcintosh Tex. The remaining
three are Forts Duncan. Ringgcld and Brown,
now in the hands of caretakers. If necessary to
insure strict compliance with the neutrality
laws and prevent the operations of migratory
parties into Mexico. these three posts also will
be garrisoned the troops in all probability being
taken from some of the nearer posts.
