The Mexican Filibusters.

Capture OF party OF Mexican Al
busters on American soil near the
international boundary adds to the
emba ira ssment now felt by the United
States Government in its relations
with the southern republic. There is
at issue at present the question of the
claims OF American citizens against
the Mexican government concerning
which the American ambassa dor has
just returned from Mexico City to
make report. There Is likewise the
question OF the propriety Of represen
tetions by this Government to Mexico
in protest against the course OF that
government in enforcement OF its laws
rega riding religious orga nizations. The
President mas held that there is no
warrant for such intervention. mas
much as the matter is purely one of
domestic concern in Mexico. The ar
rest Of the filibusters. however, in
execution OF Federal laws forbidding
the formation OF military expeditions
in this country for action against a
neighboring government with which
this country is at peace, Is quite a
matter within the jurisdiction OF the
United States. But there at once
arises the question OF the disposition
OF these men. They are, with two ex-
ceptions. Mexican citizens. Shall they
be turned err to the Mexican govern
ment, or held here and punished for
infrsction OF the United States law?
1t is quite likely from past experience
that II these filibusters are sur
rendered TO Mexico they will be given
short shrift on that side of the line.
Not long ago Col. Demetrio Torres
was arrested here in similar circum-
stances and was surrendered to Mex
leo on the assura nee that he would be
given a fair trial there. He was
however. executed by hring squad
within twenty four hours, 70 the hcr
