CORTINA CAPTURED.

The latest advices from the Mexi-
can border are Of encouraging yet ex-
citing nature. Cortina has been ar
rested by Colonel Christie Of the
Mexican army, and the friends of
the bandit leader are said to be mass
ing to attempt his rescue. Colonel
Christo's force, stationed at Mata-
moras, will hold the prisoner at all
hazards, and the commander of U. S.
troops at Fort Brown yesterday re-
ceived orders from the Wor Depart
ment to furnish aid to Christie if the
latter made requisition for assistance.
Under the rules of international law,
the United States forces can only go
to Matamoras to protect, the prop
erty Of American citizens" but it
would not be difficult or Objectionable
for them to invent an excuse to take
Il hand in any collision that might
occur between Cortina's cattle thieves
and the Mexican forces-and we be-
lieve they will do it should the con-
tingency arise.
