Almost every year, following the adjourn- ment of Congress, there looms up a speck of war between this government and Mexico. Whether this is attributable to the fact that | the United States ought to take steps to teach Mexico the lesson that the predatory attacks of her subjects across the Rio Grande must cease, or whether the imagination of news- Paper correspondents plays npon the war heme to make lively reading in dull times, is an open question; but certain it is that with the dog days is certain to come the annual an- nouncement of a threatened war with Mexico. Recently, as stated in THE Stan, General Ord, who commands the military department in’ which the Mexican outrages are committed, (was here in — consultation with the President, Secretary — Evarts, Secretary MeCrary and Gen, Sherman. The gossip about town now is that the subjects of Diaz are becoming restive under the frequent invasions of Mexican territory by our troops, and that Diaz has informed the United States, ina diplomatic way, that he apprehends an internal movement ‘against his own govern- ment if he does not make a demonstration to check the advance of the United States troops. He has undoubtedly made promises that he will do ail in his power to punisfhis fractious subjects, but the trouble is that he is power- less; he has not the military foree to put his professions into practice, 1f, indeed, his sol diery can be depended upon to American inieresis against those of M t Mexican problem is one which ex. v i interest with the adininistyation ts evidenced by the fact that already several Cabinet discussions haye been held, touchins the unfriendly action of the “greasers,” and it is announced that at the next Cabinet consul- tation the subject will again be the prmeipal topic. The matter seems to be in this sha If the orders, which are now in foree, to foliow the Mexican thieves across the Rio Grande are allowed to stand, Diaz will be compelled to take one of two ‘alteruatives—ei to mect S. with foree, or fai pUrpose, to have the existence of his own gov- ernment threatened, perhaps royed. The question seems to be whether our goverament shall plainly tell Diaz that it proposes to pro: tect iis own inter Sol War, a cor secm to soi POSTMASTERS COM MISSIONE! deut to- commission - maste) Theodore C.
