No. 331.
Mr. Bayard to Mr. Jackson.

[Telegram.]

Washington, August 12, 1886.

Mr. Bayard informs Mr. Jackson that he has received a telegram from the governor of Texas, stating that Mondragon, Mexican chief of police, has been acquitted of the charge of the murder of Arresures at Piedras Negras. He remarks on the unfavorable impression which is necessarily produced by the contrast between such speedy action and the dilatory proceedings in the case of A. K. Cutting, and directs Mr. Jackson to obtain a complete account of the facts in Arresures’s case as soon as possible.
