snubbing Letcher that the American con-
sul's letter to him -a few days ago an-

was Insulting to "the liberal party and
to myself 'as well." OrosTd's statement
has caused bitter feelings of resentment
on the part of the American colony and

are now strained to the breaking point.
Many members of the colony here have

taken from Americans getting out of the

dressed to persons In tha United States
to be mailed whan the bearers crossed
Into Texas territory. He gives as his
reason for confiscating and reading these
letters and other documents that tha
missives bore United States stamps

the liberal Sostal laws of Mexico." Those
from whom the letters were taken deny
