THE RAIDERS-PRoDADnIrY OF An ARMED In
vAsioN OF MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, March 2S-Within the last two
years the Commissioners appointed to examine and
report upon the subject of outrages on the Texas
border have made several reports in which they
stated the immense loss of property and the occa-
sional murder of Texans, whose premises were H.
vaded b. Mexcans in systematic raids on their
stock. Our Government preferred formal COM
plant to the Mexican Government, which was inet-
cient to prevent such depredations, but appointed
a Commission to ascertain the extent OF the al
legged grievances More than year has since
elapsed and nothing has been done by that
Government to prevent the incursons 1t seems
that the Mexicans on the border of the Rio Grande
act independently Of and pay little or no attention
to the Home Government, which is not strong
enough to restrain its border citizens On the rep
resentation Of the United States Commissioners,
forces of cavalry stationed at points on the R0
Grande. to be used in cases of emergency for the
protection Of American citizens; but owing to the
long distances to be covered and the cautious move
ments of the raiders the military have been unable
to exercise the desired restraining power and there
fore the incursons have continued to the present
time. Tho reports of the Commissioners were COM
municatcd to Congress by the President, with spe-
cia message recommending that action be taken; but
Congress did nothing in the way of relief leaving
the Government to its own action. Instructions
will Immediately be issued through the
War Department to the General command
ing to take such measures may be possible to
strike the raiders with heavy blows Those best
conversant with affairs apprehend that general
border war will ensue in which event the invasion
of Mexico by armed citizens in pursuit of tho
robbers is not among the improbabilites.
