México plans quick capture of deported men.

Special Dispatch to the Globe‑Democrat.

GALVESTON, TEX, november 22.‑ The Mexican government has accepted the contention of Texas in its refusal to extradite the alleged revolutionists, and is seeking their deportation from the states.  Instructions have been issued to capture all of them, if deported, the instant they land on Mexican soil, and give them speedy trial.

The deportation method offers a better method for Mexico, because once inside her territory she can seize the accused and do away with them, while the internal agreement, governing extradition, requires that the prisoners can only be punished for the crime of which they are charged when extradited.  Evidence has been produced showing that the four Mexicans deported from Arizona a few weeks ago were shot to death in less than twelve hours after crossing after crossing the line.
