AN American merchant of Laredo,
Tex, named Diamond, was imprisoned
at New Laredo, Mexico, on the 9th, and
his life threatened by the commander Of
the Mexican Federal troops, for hesitat-
ing to contribute his property and refus-
ing to pay fine of 800. Maj. Merriam,
of the United States army, demanded his
release, which, after some words, was
complied with, but the Mexican authori-
ties threatened to kill the merchant at the
first opportunity. Merriam told Quintano,
commander of the Mexican Federal forces
at that point, that he would have his
command in readiness to protect Ameri-
can citizens. Quintano told him to do
as he pleased. A revolutionary party at
tackled Quintano on the morning of the
10th, and were repulsed but subsequently,
renewed the attack. Stray bullets, coming
to the Texas side, wounded three Ameri-
can citizens--one man and two women.
At the request Of the Special Deputy
United States Marshal, Maj. Merriam
planted twelve FOUNDER on the bank
of the river in the morning, and
in the afternoon the Mexicans opened
a hot fire from New Laredo on
our guard at the ferry and they
were compelled to Withdraw. The fire
was then concentrated upon the gunners,
whereupon Col. Sexton threw tive shells
into New Laredo, Mexico, from his
twelve pounder, which silenced the Mex
lean fire on our soldiers and citizens.
Two men and three women of Laredo,
Texas, were wounded, one badly. In the
evening the Mexican Federal troops
opened fire again on the United States
Government troops, the latter returning
the fire with twelve.p pound howitzers, and
shelling New Laredo, Mexico.
