Show THEKE is probably nothing more in the lower California filibustering expedition stories than sensational newspaper inventions inven-tions yet they seem to have alarmed the Mexican authorities who aie reported to have requested the United States government govern-ment to station a regiment of soldiers at San Diego to prevent the thjefl of the peninsula Of course the United States will do nothing in the premises this government knows too well the unreliable character of certain newspapers to place any confidence in their unsupported utterances ut-terances and in this instance the newspaper news-paper assertions are absolutely without proof to support them As the United States do not deport their offensive citi sens and do not propose to maintain a Botany Bay this government can have no possible use for Lower California ana we cannot imagine why individuals should desire the peninsula as very few of the thousands who went there a few years ago were able to make a living and left when the money they took with them was exhausted When Mexico has anything lying around lose that is worth stealing Americans will not be above taking it but Lower California is safe |
