Brszos Santiago, Texas, July 30th, 1875, as fol
lows: ,..,
alton receIyed from Col. J. II. Potter. Unitot
States army, under date OF the 9th inst, that
an is quiet on the Rio Grande The river Is
Ealing daily. A ight-draft steamer is now up
Abe river, and has been due here for two days:
There has been no indication CT cattle raids, and
She appearance Of the boats may have, in
measure, intimidated the raiders"
Another dispatch from the same officer, dated
q. g. steamer Plymouth, off BrazOs Santiago,
Texas, August 7, says: 81 would respectfully &C
knowledge the receipt OF the Departments letter
OF July o. 1875, and on the arrival of the Rio
Eravo will withdraw all the officers and crews
Of such material as is not required for the steam
launches and proceed to Port Royal"
Lieut.. Commander ID. W. @. Kells, commanding
the Rio Bravo, telegraphs that he expected to
leave New Orleans on the 18th, and l therefore
launches have been Al miles beyond Brownsvil lie,
but were recalled by me to carry out the order
Of the Department in regard to the transfer, as
shere are no facilities OF doing it above, and as
there were no raids or demonstrations made. In
fact the papers report that the efiecJ OF the OK
pedition has been to cause the people at Mata-
anoros to come over to buy beef at Brownsville
SOIL etLing unheard OF, while the price has mate
rally increased.
] mention this to show that the citizens are
ander that impression. In the performance OF
road company has thrown every impedi-
ment in the way by excessive charges, pre-
venting their wharf from being used without
lhe payment OF one dollar for small box carried
over il, and as have been informed by the off
GERS, even threatening the workmen who were
willing to bring off the mails, saying that he took
10 much from them. The President of the com
oany, / believe, is half Mexican or Spanish, and
Tnmor says, has been pecuniarilly affected By the
presence Of the ship and launches in the river.
