SAN ANTONIO, April 10, 1876.
The commanding officer at Fort Mcintosh
reports that the Mexican authorities at
New Laredo, on the opposite bank of the
river, have begun collecting forced loa1s
from the merchants, regardless of nation.
Atty and including Americans.
A letter to the Hera4 here contains news
of fight between Americans and Mex
leans, in which three Mexicans and two
Americans were killed or mortally wounded.
Tho fight was about branding cattle, and
occurred on third instant.
The following telegram has just been re-
ceived here from Uvslde in reference to the
recent outrage by supposed Indians last
night:
Six horsee, the property of William M.
Reynolds and others, were stolen from Town
last night. This morning . bundle was
found near town containing clothing. etc.
The coat and shirt had three bullet holes
and An arrow cut through each. Tho arrow
must have penetrated in the region Of the
heart. The clothes are supposed to have
belonged to the man who was killed on the
Sabinal last week.
The post commander ct Fort Mcintosh
has just reported, at daybreak this morn
ing, after fighting two hours, the revolu-
tionists were repulsed.
Many shots came to this side, woundinp
one man and two women. The fight seems
now over, but - yet no communication
can be had, a. the boats are on the other
side.
An application has been made oy an
American merchant in New Laredo, in Mex.
ico, to the commanding officer at Fort Nc
Intosh for protection to enable him
to resist payment of the forced loan
on merchants made by the Mexican
authorities. The post commander has
been instructed to remain strictly
neutral in all that transpires on that side
of the river, and that merchants doing
business in Mexico went into business over
there aware of the custom Of the country
in regard to levies during revolutions, and
that the United States had no more right
to send troops to New Laredo, for the pro-
lection of such merchants, than it had to
send them to the City of Mexico for . simi-
lar purpose. BEXAR.

The telegraph announces the death of the
richest man in America, the New York mer-
chant whose wealth has been estimated as
high as 81, 100000. A. T. Stewart was
born in Belfast, Ireland, in 1903, and was
educated at Trinity College, Dublin; he
came to New York when about twenty
years Of age, Taught school for while, and
then opened . small dry goods store on
Broadway, near the Park He knew what
it was to be poor. but he had the ambition to
become the leading merchant of the world,
and he succeeded. The story of his progress
and the trade he established has been often
told. The business of his Wholesale and
retail establishments has reached to fifty
million dollars worth of goods sold in .
single year, and he was constantly invest
ing his surplus capital in real estate and
safe enterprises. He was more hard work
ing and shrewd man than lucky. He never
forgot the habits of industry and economy
he learned at the beginning of his business
life, and he has been called hard man.
He was . merchant prince who made
his clerks buy their own lead
pencils; but he has been an honest man,
and the lesson his career teaches shows
what is possible for . man to accomplish
Iegitimately. Riches do not bring hsppi-
ness. Mr.. Stewart was obliged to work
until he died. Business was his meat and
drink and consolation. He will be remem.
bered for what he has accomplished a. .
merchant, and for the fortune he accumu-
lated and guarded.

The play 1T the Varieties Theatre last
night was "The Modocs Of Wall Street, "
billed - 80 powerful new American
DRAMA" from the pen of Dion Boucicault.
Mr.. Boucicault has put together hundreds of
plays; among them all that live and are
gold can be counted on the fingers of .
mans hands. The Modoc piece may have
had some local significance, purpose or
popularity in New York at one time; it is
not attractive here, and seemed to interest
the actors as little as it did the little audi
ence.
"Arrah-na-Poe is promised for Wednes-
day night. It will show Mrs. Chanfrsu in

written by Mr.. Boucicsult.
