been instrumental In representing the Bully OF the

THE DEBATING RANcHERos.
This morning at eight A. M. before Mills Hotel
was ranged cavalcade and procession OF motley
ch8racter--four ambulances, two buggies, an ad-
vance guard OF hOrsemen and q rear guard OF
vaduerOs with the loose horses. All was hustle
and confusion. Friends were taking parting
glass ana the Nueces rancheros were taking O last
fond look, before the start to see that the outfit
was complete. Your reporter took peep into the
travelling carriage OF one gentleman and found
therein nine Winchester rifles, o heavy Colts e.
volver, ready by each seat, and pleasant looking
heap OF Derringers and bowie knives on the back
seat.
Information was received here of a plot to waylay
and murder the witnesses on their return, and as

man with his weapons ready for instant use !; mur-

character to give aarm-only murder, arson and
robbery. ..l
The United States Commission leaves here TO-
morrow for Rio Grande city. A large amount OF
business has been transacted and 1t Is believed, q
searching investigation has been made. Texans
look anxiOusly for the time when the message Of
the President shall shadow forth the attitude of
our government. The HERALDs Mexican policy Is
heartily approved here. and the duty of the United
States to protect Its citizens by Interference of
