two hours. and their commander was

Major Castro was executed. No volun-
tcer Federal commander captured by
rebels is held as a prisoner, orders hav-

Forgotten Treaty Dug Up.

Discovery has been made that a
treaty was negotiated more than fifty
years ago between the United States
and Mexico, which, If it had been rati-
fed, would have authorized the Amer
lean government ito intervene In sup
port Of its own treaty rights and the
security Of its own citizens whenever
Mexico may be unable to guarantee the
same, without mourning the obligation
or necessity Of general intervention
in the domestic affairs of that coun-
try"
This treaty was signed in Vera Cruz
on December Il, 1859. and sent to the
Senate soon afterward by President
Buchanan. II was never ratified by
the United States because of the con-
fusion incident to the outbreak of the
Civil War.

No Answer to Huerta.

There seems TO he no present lnten-
ton of returning any answer to the
communication from General Huerta
protesting against the removal OF the
embargo on the expectation of arms
into Mexico. The administration, 1t is
thought probable, does not care to risk
the construction that a response would
constitute a formal recognition Of the
Hucrta government.
The consular agent at Chihuahua
was directed by Secretary Bryan to-
day to intercede with Constituencies
leaders in behalf Of Luis TerraZas, re-
ported condemned to death unless
$4,000 in ransom was paid by his
family. The American agent was
directed TO use every effort to prevent
the carrying out Of this threat, point
ing out that American sympathy and
tolerance might be alienated from the
Constitutionalist cause by such acts.
Felix Diaz, the exiled Mexican rev
olutionist, went 10 New York to-day.
He will return next Wednesday, when
he expects the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee will listen to his views
on establishing a constitutional govern
mcnt in Mexico.
