MEXICAN SEIZURE.
RULING AGAINST COMPANIES. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The Mexican Supreme Court, in a test case, has ruled against the oil companies regarding the Government’s seizure of petroleum properties. This is the second adverse finding by the Court against the companies’ demands for a return of the properties, and is believed to indicate that the constitutionality of the seizure will not be able to be reversed. . , The New York Times Washington correspondent says that the State Department declined to comment on reports to-day that further Americanowned land in Mexico, valued at 25,000,000 dollars had been expropriated. Informed observers are of the opinthat the new campaign must itself be considered as a reply to Mr Hull s Note of August 25, demanding immediate satisfaction, if not as an act of deliberate provocation, Mexico apparently feeling that she can pursue her expropriation programme without fear ol any worse consequences than a reprimand.
