were no military forces IN Mexico that

attack and our own people from vlo-

property, many irreparable wrongs
against the persons, ut Americans have
been committed within the territory of
Mexico herself during this confused
revolution, wrongs which could not be
| effcctually checked SO long ms there
was no constituted power in Mexico
which was In position to check them.
