On the 18th rumor had reached Santa Fe that Colonel
Bowles had been attacked at Cecra by 1000 Mexcans
and had lost 90 men, General Pierce with 500 men,
marched promptly to his relief.
The late arrival does not particularly confirm this, but
says General Pierce at FL Paso, advancing upon
Chihuahua with 500 men,
1t rumored that Gen. Urea marching against
Chihuahua, by the way of Sonora, with large force;
