invasion OF American soil by Mexcans, followed by
the capture OF two towns, representative OF the
HERALD called ON General Sheridan at his residence
to ascertain what intelligence had been received al
Army Headquarters on the subject
WHAT GENERAL SHERIDAN SAYS
The General said he had the very latest nforma-
ton, and was in position to deny everything
which pointed 70 anv armed conflict or an inva-
sion. This report, he said, was wholly incorrect
and had no shadow OF TRUTH except in one particu-
lar. lie then went on TO make this statement-
'There had been at the town OF santo Elizarlo
some trouble for some time past between
citizens regarding some salt springs or salt lake,
he was not certain which. These troubles had
finally broken out IN a sort OF mob violence, the
citizens only participating. The parties were
wholly Mexican, the town being populated almost
wholly by this element. Civil officers had been
sent from FL Paso, twenty-five miles distant, for
the purpose of making some arrests, which had
been done. This was the whole extent OF the So
called Invasion.
TROOPS IN MOTION.
General Sheridan at once ordered Lieutenant
Rucker, with twenty-five or thirty soldiers, to pro-
ceed at once to Santo Elizario IRON Ell Paso and
investigate the trouble, and that officer has de-
parted for the scene. This, says General Sheridan
Is all there is in the rumor. 1t was confined en-
tirely to a brawl among the Mexcans themselves
over the Salt Springs.
