They are American citizens. They are in exactly the same attitude. as far as surroundings are concerned. as were the sufferers from the floods of the Mississippi River. whose subsistdnce was bountifully provided for by appropriations from the Federal Treasury. These refugees were driven from their residences by dangers as imminent. as merciless. and as implacable as the unpent waters of that great river. We have done all possible to control the river. but nothing has been done to prevent further outrage on Ahierican citizens in Mexico. Of this I will have more to say before adjournment of this session if time can be reasonably secured for that purpose. These refugees are now a charge on the good people of the Gila Valley. as shown by the telegram just read. an expense too great for even their generous charity.
