No. 462. Mr. Mariscal to Mr. Fish.

[Translation.]

Legation of Mexico, New York, July 23, 1875. (Received July 26.)

Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to inclose to you a copy of a note addressed to me by the minister of foregn relations of my government, in which is inserted a communication from the governor of the State of Sonora relative to the entrance of several armed men from Arizona into Mexican territory, who apprehended a fugitive named J. Holmes within the limits of the said State.

In obedience to the instructions contained in said note, I beg leave to call your attention to the matter in question, and to express the hope that the Government of the United States will adopt suitable measures for its repression, (sic,) thus preventing the repetition of an abuse committed, perhaps, without any intention of outraging the Mexican nation, but which might at some time give rise to disagreeable consequences on the frontier, despite of the good understanding which happily exists between the governments of the two republics.

I am happy to renew, &c.,

IGNO. MARISCAL.
