No. 833.
Mr. Romero to Mr. Bayard.
Washington , November 1, 1887. (Received November 1.)
My Dear Mr. Bayard: I have the honor to inform you that I have this day received a letter from the consul of the United States of Mexico at El Paso, Texas, bearing date of the 27th ultimo, whereby lie informs me that the horses claimed by Colonel Cowart as belonging to the United States Government were delivered to that officer on the 22d, at Paso del Norte, Mexico.
In order that the delivery might be made without further delay, and since certain formalities had to be complied with for the purpose of proving the ownership of the horses, the political chief of the canton of Paso del Norte gave his personal bond to the court of that canton, in order that the horses might be given up.
I am, etc.,
