The Delta gives also tie following extract from the
letter OF an officer III the army, dated
CAMARGo, Aug. 81, 1916.
For news-Gen. Worth, with the first brigade of
his division, is at the new depot established by him
the beautiful village of Saralvo about 10 or 50
miles distant from here, and the upper route ria
Mler to Monterey. General, now Colonel Smith, with
the I'd Brigade Is about ID miles beyond Mier, and is
TO halt temporarily at Puntaguda, village, say 81
miles this side of Saralvo The first infantry and the
third brigade will both march shortly the volunteer
force, some 1000 or 5000, will then follow. No
movement beyond Saralvo will take place till the
arrival of headquarters that pont-say about Sep
TENDER 10TH Meanwhile General Worth is actively
engaged in increasing the of transportation,
reconnoterng the routes in advance of his position,
&c. The people Of Seralvo received him very gra-
ciousy. Col. Hays, of the LIST regiment mounted
Texan rangers, has returned from his long march to
San Fernando, leaving the body of his regiment to
rest and recruit at the village of China, the San
Juan, above In obtaining valuable knowledge of
the country from San Fernando to this section of
country-n conciliatlng the people in all the settle
ments through which he passed, and learning their
intentions towards army and government-ths
march has been creditabe and well conducted in the
highest degree. Some two three thousand of the
refugee troops of the 9Th and 9th of May, now in
Monterey under Gen. Mejia but are deserving, every
opportunity. Canaes and the project Cardenas are
said to be traversng the country hence to Monterey
endeavorng to impress all the rancheros into service
against US. Nearly the whole ranchero population
have deserted this neighborhood possibly to join the
army voluntarily, but most probably to secrete them
selues from military impressment. The rumor OF
Paroles being prisoner confirmed, and some say
he is to be executed. Arista has been recently IN
Monterey, but Meiia is the active commander. No
onnosition from the garrison at Monterey is ancl-
paed; it is understood they will assuredly run away
on the approach Of the American troops. Cayderea,
with all the smaller villages in the valley of the San
uan. have small garsOns of troops cautioned in them
for supplies. The army, in numbers 5000, will be
in possesson of Monterey about the 18th the Goth
af September, and Of Saltillo BY the 3Oth The
troops are generally well-the Tennessee troops and
some of the Ohio list and second regments) suf
fering from sickness. The greater portion Of the
volunteer force remains behind at this place and the
lower Rio rande, until the necessary supplies from
this country itself can be insured to the army.
