WASHINGTON, April 3, 1876

WASHINGTON, April 3, 1876.
The condition of affairs on the
Mexican border is exciting grave
fears about the result. a telegram
was received this evening from a
prominent Government official at
Brownsville, who SAYS that after
desperate fight Matamoros had
been taken BY the revolutionists,
and that the National troops had
been driven across the Rio Grande.
United States troops are to be
massed along the Texas {, f,ontier,
and if necessary will cross over to
check movements against Texas
ranches. The movements of the
revolutionists within the next few
DAYS will be watched with great
anxiety. The Mexican question is
very serious and may result in a
fight for the United States. r.

States troops, that the American
gunboat must be removed from
before that city because her pres
ence was disagreeable to him.
