Tie Sam rono Ledgtr says that the story about the
ak thousand Mexicans marching upon III Paso is an
entire fabrication and gives the following explanation
Of Il:
On Thu,sdnv evening lasit no little interest was
cnsonod BY the report that express had arrived from
EpAso sent 10y Gen. Garland with dispatches for the
War Department and for Gen Smith. The pretended er
prcs rider reported that previous 10 his dplrnre from
III Paso Gy, ihousrrA Nccan trooI- by order of Santa
Anna had crossed he Rio rande for the purpose taxing
ros,ssson Of the Mc-la Vs'y This cypress rider went
10 Major Bolgor with same story aiding that be had
left he dispatches the Leon In charge of civil officer
who Lad the keys of the bags.
Ills reason for bringing the dispatches TO toe city
was that his horse had given out and he wished MAJOR
Relccr 70 furnish him with fresh that he could
tun 10 the Ii and bring in the mail bag The Major did
altogether like the fellows appearance nor the story

the purpose of getting the mail lodged around the house

that Il was late 20 back out without giving stronger
grounds Of suspicion The six shooter carried by his es
oor deferred hn FROM attempting to escape with the horse
furnished by Major Beger And thus ended the great eI
element -
Under tie head of "No Cause for Alarm" The San
AH0niO Ledger SAYS:
Meor How ard informs that in the distribution of the
Ind Of Lex
caleOs TOnkaWas have been consigned TO his district
They are 10 be located on the heed waters of the Nueces
for the present to await the action Of the General Govern
mont in reference TO their permanent settlement
The TonkAwas, in removing from Major Noighbors dis
trct TO that Of Major Howard were TO have passed over
direct 10 the head waters Of the Nueoes where the Major
had beeves in waiting for them but instead of doing
they lower down, and at the lat accounts were on
the Guadalupe where they had caused considerable alarm
by asking for something to eat Seeing them in such
boT the settlers became somewhat alarmed and supposed
that in consequence Of the withdrawal Of the troops from
the upper posts the Indians had become embodened and
commenced their old tricks. This of alarm viii
DO removed as Major Howard has sent out runner to
take charge Of them.
