in his mind. War had not been o cnly
declared and the General vas occu7y-
ing the country merely awaiting dew
elopments. Replying to The Mexican
General, he showed that he and his
army had been treated as enemies
ever since they had crossed the Ar
royo Colorado; that the alternative
of war had been given by .nPrdia
himself, and accepted; that tho bloch
ade was a proceeding perfectly con-
senant with the state of war which
had been repeatedly declared to ex-
list. He reminded the Mexican General
of the killing of Col. Cross. I'm con
clusion," he said, II take leave to
state that | consider the tone of your
communication highly exceptionable
where you stigmatize the movement
OF the army under my orders as
marked with a seal of universal re-
probation You must be aware that
such language is not respectful in
itself, either to me or 20 my Govern
ment; and while ] observe in my

again warned that there will be
great danger in allowing children
to play around the entrance to the
siphon south of town. There is
no way of protecting the entrance,
as anything done would soon stop
up the ditch and cause it to over
flow. The only safety is in keep
ing the children away. The dan
ger will exist at all times when
there is a heavy flow of water and
cannot be avoided. All parents
should take heed and try to keep
heir children awaw from that To-
cality.
