the situation In st. Louis that these ex-
pressions are based on the calculation

A Tribune Washington special says
that General Ord was before the House
Special Committee on the Texas Border
Trouble yesterday, and detailed at length
the condition OF affairs along the Rio
Grande. He said raids are almost OF daily
occurrence and it is impossible to stop
then with the present military force
under mis- command. The Rio Grande
river Is of such nature that the channel
is constantly changing and whenever the
river recedes from the American side,
leaving strip Of land where channel
existed, the Mexicans settle upon it and
claim to have exclusive jurisdiction and
refuse to cross to the Mexican side. The
raiders are aided by these squatters and
their presencs aggravates the existing
evils. General Ord said further that the
negro troops Of bis command could not
be relied on in case of trouble, that they
were OF the worst class Of Southern
negroes. and that white officers did not
dare to leave their wives alone. These
troops also made trouble in the families
Of Mexicans living on the Mexican side.
Our officers were unable to control
them. The best class OF negroes in
Texas will not enter the army but prefer
to work on farms in the interior of the
State and this they are doing. With two
good regiments Of troops General Ord
said the raids could be stopped and
peace restored along the border. The
chairman Of the Special Committee has
received telegram from Mexico con-
firmatory of the advices received by the
Mexican Minister that Cortinas is still
in prison in tho City of Mexico, and not
in Matamoras under guard.
