Information was received here to-day
from Rio Grande to the effect that the
trouble along that river growing out Of
cattle raids by the Mexicans are us bad
as ever,
The Mexican raiders have IL contract
to deliver 1900 head Of cattle at MOnter-
ey, and they expect to steal them from
Texas. 1t has also been ascertained that
one great difficulty under which the Mex
lean government labors, is that in send.
ing soldiers to the frontier to prevent
cattle raid thefts they become cattle
thieves themselves, thus adding to the
number Ofdepredators instead Of deCreas.
ing them. The cattle thus stolen from
Texas are shipped after having been RIM
into Mexico, Cortina himself having been
detected some time ago shipping cattle
from Bagdad, small town on the banks
OF the Rio Grande, for Cuba, such cattle
bearing the marks Of Texas owners. 1t
il also known that these cattle thieves are
engaged to u great extent in smuggling
goods into Texas.
At n meeting Of the Cabinet today
1t was decided TINT from and after to-.
morrow the office hours In the several
Executive Departments Of the Govern.
ment shall be from 0A. M. until 4 p. NJ,
and orders were issued by the heads OF
the various Departments this afternoon
to that effect.

GENERAL roPEs REPORT OF TILE INDIAN
CAMPAIGN.
The report Of Brevet Major General
John Pope, Commanding Department Of
Missouri, after viewing at some length
the campaign against the hostile
Indians in the Department during the
year says: All the bands Of Indians in
the southwest, Cheyenes' Kiowas and
COmanches are now ut their respective
agencies, brought there by military force
after n campaign Of eight months Of al
most unprecedented hardship and ex-
posure, and after heavy expense to the
government. They are brought there
TOO, entirely subdued and in such
condition and under such Circum.
stances that there Is not the least danger,
in my opinion, OF any further trouble
with them II they only are treated with
common humanity and dealt with with or.
dinary honesty. Unless they are properly
fed they must either suffer the pangs OF
hunger or ttarve to death. To sec that
they are cared for as the government as
we'll rs humanity demands and as the
usual appropriations Of Congress pro.
vides for, ia n duty devOlved upon an.
other part Of the government. II honestly
performed in the future, as am sorry
10 believe II has not been In the past,
future trouble with these Indians may
be considered at IN end.
