the morning of the llth. Mach excite
ment prevailed among the troops from the
rumor that large force of Mexican troops

this side the Rio Grande, under the com
mand of Garcia, Canales and Saveriego
has been greatly eXaggeraled-probably
more than one half. 1t is, however, diff
cult, to obtain correct accounts ofthe mum
