Vergara left his ranch a Palafox,

the river into Mexico on receipt of a
message from three federal soldiers
that Captain Apolonio Rodriguez of the
Hidalgo garrison wished to settle for
eleven horses taken from Vergara's is
land pasture In the Rio Grande. Mrs.
Vergara pleaded with her husband not
to risk seizure by the M%exicans; but,
disregarding her warnings. he crossed
the river In company with his young
nephew. Mrs. vergara since has told
how she saw her husband assaulted by
the waiting soldiers and, after being
knocked unconscious, carried off. Yer
gara's nephew at the time of the at

and hid In the brush until he could
recross the river.

On the following day Mrs. yergara
went In search OF her husband and
found him in the Hidalgo jail. SO far
as known there was no charge against
him. He had been cruelty beaten, ac-
cording to the wife. She dressed the
wounds on his head, she said, and re-
manned with him until forced to leave.
That was the last time she ever saw
him alive. for early next morning be

LITIGATION of the action of the

The secretary of state requested the
ambassador TO cable an explanation
of the speech, and Mr.. Page imme.
diately began the preparation of his
reply.
After reading full accounts of the
proceedings In the senate Ambassador
Page came to the conclusion that the
senators had been misled by the ex.

in regard TO his Interpretation of the

clared, had been too greatly COZ

When referring to the Panama canal
he had said that Great Britain would

Rangers Crossed In 1874.

The last time Texas rangers crossed
into Mexico in a to attract of.
fetal ~cognizance by the United States
government was In 1874. Describing
his incident, Governor Colquitt In a
recent telegram to Secretary Bryan,
asking whether he might send rangers
into Mexico. used the following words:
AT periods in the past command
ers Of American troops and Of Texas
rangers have crossed the border i'm
pursuit of bandits and marauders and
Inflicted chastisement to them on Mex
lean soil. This was notably done by
the Texas rangers in pursuance of an
order issued by Governor Coke of
Texas In 1874, and 1t Is a coincidence
that the rangers in that case were sta.
toned IN Webb county, where the most
recent outrage against American citi-
Zenship was committed. With q full
and fearless presentation of the facts
and the rights of the state of Texas
by Governor Coke to President Grants
attorney general the matter seems to
have ended In acquiescence, If not with
approval, on the part of the federal
government in the course Of the state
Of Texas"
Governor Colquitt did not quote any
decision by the Washington authori,
ties in the Coke case. but said Coke's
order was for Texas rangers when In
close pursuit of Indian and Mexican
marauders to cross the Rio Grande
and take them. President Grant, the
governor said, objected to the order OF
the governor Of Texas and referred II
to the attorney general OF the United
States, with the inquiry as to how fan
the then governor of Texas had be
come liable to prosecution for violat
ing section 6 of the act of congress OF
April 20. 1918. The attorney general
assured the governor of Texas at that
time that any reply be cared to make
would be duly considered.
