know whom the United States gov
eminent now recognizes as the con-
stituted authority in Mexican States

from Governor o. B. Colquitt, of Texas.
The request was made for the pur-
pose of demanding the surrender Of
the "abductors and murderer" Of
Clemente vergara, Texas citizen, ex-
ecuted by Mexican Federals.
Then apparently answering the
question himself, the governor asked

of the conditions of revolution and
anarchy in these border States, to send
Rangers across the Rio Grande in
pursuit Of the lawless element of eth
er faction when they cross into Texas
and commit crimes
