To Mr.. William Headen, Corpus Christi:
DEAR SIR-The Mexican General Zapata,
who has Just arrived at Laredo, Mexico.
and whom l have had the pleasure of visit
ing this morning, ardently desires to punish
the bandits who are committing crimes on
this part of the frontier. He favored me

pleased to return your escort, that they
may take the eight prisoners from Camargo
and two from Mier. in order to conduct
them to this city, Or till they encounter an
escort which has gone forth to meet them
M. ESCOBEDO.
According to information these prisoners
are the same who raided in the suburbs of
your city. | am satisfied that on being
identified General EscobedO will punish
fhnvv, <<,f fhn Mt,
have positive Information through Don
Juan Muneas that the raiders, twenty-four
in number, recrossed the river near Mier
At the Passa Arieso they compelled a
shepherd to guide them to the ford men
toned. They were all unknown. l desire
that You publish in my letter that the
raiders were never in the bounds of this
county but it will soon be known where
they belong to-. suppose that the eight
apprehended belong to tho guerrllae. Be
assured that the Mexican authorities in
whose hands they are will treat them with
the gravity their crimes demand. General

desire to conserve the peace between both
the republics, giving satisfaction.

Mexican authorities. has lately been before
the joint committee Of the Texas Legisla-
ture which investigated the frontier
troubles, and is q man who represented his
district in the Legislature, and has been
known as bulwark against disorder on
the frontier. The prime facts in all this is
that we now have positive information of
the whereabouts OF these bandits. and our
government can demand them.

fifty or sixty at sOme-for what purpose is
