Troops Again Cross the Rio GrnDde.
A special dispatch. dated Eagle Pass,

A special dispatch. dated Eagle Pass,
Texas, June 26, to the Austin Journal, CON-
municates the following news:
On the twenty sec nd ultimo scout,
numbering forty men OF the Fourth United
States Cavalry, was ordered out from Camp
Shafter, situated about thirty miles in a
southeasterly direction from here, COM
manded by Lieutenant Thurston, and
guided by our "border chief" Green Van,
lieutenant of the Maverick County Minute
Men. They struck a fresh cattle trail lead
ing to the Rio Grande, and following it up
in double quick time, arrived at the river
about forty five miles below here, and found
that the trail led through the river. They
captured one Of the thieves-a Mexi-
can-who was yet on this bank of the
river. Threats were communicated to those
across the river that the troops would cross
and kill every man in charge of the herd if
they did not surrender themselves and the
cattle. Immediately after a detail was or
dered to cross to assist them in bringing
the cattle to this side and arrest the parties
in charge of the herd. They found one
man IN charge, and recaptured eighty head
of beeves stolen from the different ranches
OF our border settlements. Green Van and
the detail guarding the prisoners arrived
about four O'Clock this afternoon at Fort
Duncan. The commanding officer, Colonel
w. X. Schafter, held an examination, and
placed the prisoners in close confinement in
the guardhouse at Fort Duncan, Texas,
until further instructions are received. The
Mexican authorities Of Piedras Negras fully
indorse this movement, and will aid our
troops IN future in bringing TO Justice the
murderers and cattle thieves Of this sec.
ton.
