OF the past eight months. The CacOs OF Hayu and
the Dominican refugees allied with them make their
periodical raids the border and do extens "
business In the way OF stock and cattle stealing. II
Is the old story OF the Scottish border repeated The
leader OF the Cacos, Timeteo Orgando is O brave
restless and untiring man, and seems born for a
guerilla chief Three times within forty days he has
dashed across the line, made long forced marches 70
points within the Dominican territory where horses
and cattle abound, and though driven back again and
again. foed Of his plumber each time, he only waited
on the Hayden side long enough to reorganize and
reanimate his followers and again return to the
charge He must needs have horses to mount his
Caoo cavalry aud beef to feed them he would
be let without This Is the only ex-onicer OF
taking up arms against Baez, and the real import
ance OF the various military operations may be
TERED from the fact that there has been more
than three hundred men In the fela on both sides.
