ports arrived at the bar on the 18th. Gen.
Mejia has commenced building earthworks
and mounting guns, whereoftwo are GA pound
ers, between Matamoras and the river COM
handing Brownsville.
Gen. Mejia has notified Gen. Weitzel that if
attacked from the American side of the Rio
Grande he will open fire, and that most likely
some of the shots will lodge in Brownsville.
Gen. Giles A. Smith was Immediately sent
over to ascertain the intentions of Mejia. The
result of the meeting is unknown.
1t is believed the ammunition of the beige
rents has been removed three miles from
Brownsville.
Gen. Weitzel has ordered the rebuilding of
the old Fort Brown, which was being mount
ed with 30-pounder Parrots. A long pontoon
train was also being rapidly put in good order;
Gen. Mejia apprehended another attack and
was making another forced loan. He betrayl,s
much uneasiness. Several of his own guerrli-
las, in attempting to desert by crossing the
river were drowned. American citizens visit
ing Matamoras were looked upon with suspic-
ion and distrust, and United States officers
and men are not allowed to cross the river.
On the 18th, Gen. Weitzel reviewed the
Federal troops in Brownsville. All were in ex
cellent health and spirits.
