When Hatfield calls the session. he

Failure of the Mexican commissioners
to come to an agreement with the
American demands that the right of
the United States to despatch punitive
expeditions into. Mexico in pursuit Of
bandits raiding American territory be
recognized by the de facto govern.

The Mexican commissioners explain
that before anything further can be ae-

1t is certain that the request for q
