10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WAsHINGToS, July 12.-News received by mail
from Rio Grande City. under date Of July is to the
effect that Escobedo and fifteen Mexican officers
were then in camp, about two miles above. They
were recruiting men, purchasing horses and receiy
ing arms, clothing etc, by boat. EscobedO said
that they would cross the Rio Grande above that
town some time this month"; and that a general up
rising in all the Mexican States would then take
place.
Capt. J. J. Smith arrived mt Brownsville, Texas,
from the City of Mexico on the 9TH of July, leaving
the latter city on the Goth Of June. He reported
that quiet prevailed in the interior Of Mexico. There
had been no recent pronuncamentOs. Confidence in
the ability and integrity of President Diaz was IN
creasng. The army. ne said. was 10000 strong,
though soldiers were discharged daily, and MANY
officers had been mustered out The Mexican Gov
eminent finds it difficult to raise money with which
to pay the army, and IL retrenching eX-
penses in all departments. Capt. Smith saws that
Daz favors immigration, the building of railroads
and the development of the OF the country
ON the dav he left Mexico, Capt. Smith had an IN
terview with Diaz. According to Smiths report, the
Mexican President expressed himself as satisfied
with the orders of Gen. Ord and said he would d.
rect his officers to assist the United States forces
when in Mexico in pursuit of marauders. He is de-
termined to put down raids and raiders and to make
Mexico act the part of good neghbOr toward the
United States.
Gen Cortina, who in years past has been the chief
Of the banditi on the Lower Rio Grande and who is
now imprisoned at the capital expects soon to be re-
leased on a writ of habe.is corpus. He processes
to be tired of revolution and says that if released he
will go 70 Spain. Capt. Smith says that Daz will
not under any circumstances, allow him TO return
