 Secretary Bakes took a train for Atlantic City and Newark. \. J.. and will Tot return until Sunday. The text of General Sc0tt's report of his final discussions has not been made public. There are indications. however, that he arrived al something in the nature of a gentleman's un- derstanding with the Mexican minister of war. though it possibly had no more definite form than a statement by each side of what steps il purposed taking toward checking raiding along the Texas border. renewed with the attack at Gleen Springs.
