Raidin9 Parties from Mexico Operating:
In Texas.
GALVESTON, November IA Ners spe.
cial Of to-day from Brownsville says that
the account of the recent raid on Los
Almos causes some excitement. This de-
cides the question as to the existence of
organized bands in Mexico to invade Texas.
Los AlmOs is about 100 miles from the Rio
Grande.
1t has three or four stores, and a good.
many inhabitants. Mr.. McGovern, custom
house inspector, ia recently from Edinbur.-
and says that party of the raiders wer,-
seen in Hidalgo county about five days az,
they had bales of calico, etc, on theg-
horses; they crossed the Rio Grande be-
tween Edinburg and Ringgold Barracks
nearly hundred miles below Guerrero,
they we're from Matamoras and other towns
on the lower Rio Grande and not from
Guerrero.
Ricardo Flores is stealing cotton from
this side. More than two weeks since q
herder OF Claya and DOnache was captured
by band of robbers. They tied his hands
behind him, his feet under his horses belly,
and turned the horse loose. After grazing
around for twelve hours the horse went to
the rancho, and the poor man was released.
The marauders' collected cattle and drove
them into Mexico. This occurred about
twelve miles sOuth of Br0wnsville.
Three DAYS since four armed Mexicans
stopped United States soldier in the road,
about thirty miles above here; they Gues-
| toned him and let him go. detachment
of mounted men was sent from the camp
at Los Rucias to look for the Mexicans, but
| the result is not known.
These events speak for themselves. They
show whether the reported raids were fab
ricatons or we'll grounded meanings. The
party which robbed Los AlmOs intended to
have gone to Corpus Christi if they had had
sufficient force. This was divulged by a
man who overheard conversation in Mata-
moras The cloud of border war is
