HOUSE COMMITTEE on MILITARY AFFAIRS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO HE TRIBUEE.l
WAsHINGTON Dec. 1s.-'The examination Of Cen
eral sherman. yesterday, was largely pro lorna.
The General Of the Army has so often unpacked his
budget of knowledge about affairs on the
Rio Grandc and beyond, for the inspection of COM
mttees of Congress, that what be has to say has
lost much of its former interest in spite Of the
entertaining way in which he always tells it. Gen
era Frisbe of California, examined to-day, did not
add much to the fund of knowledge this general
subject. He has spent much time in Mexico, and is
familiar with the character of the country and its
inhabitants the natural resources of the nation,
the difficulties with which settlers have 10
contend, the possibilities of developing the
country, the character of Diaz etc. He
testified as to these point. After hearing
him the committee adjourned for two weeks. The
same subject was considered in the Cabinet meet
ing to-day; but, as Mr.. Eyarts was absent, 10 I'M
portant questions of international policy were taken
up. 1t was said IN the Cabinet-on what authority
cannot be learued-that the Mexican troops recently
ordered TO the Rio Grande would not, under any cir
cumstanccs, cross the river
in the meantime rather exciting news has been
received from FL Paso This evening after the close
of the Departments Governor Hubbard OF Texas,
telegTaphed 10 the War Department as follows:

States forces who under your orders marching to
their relief We have information OF large bodies Of
Mexican citizens participating in this massacre.
r. b. HUBBARD, Governor.
A copy Of this dispatch was forwarded to General
Sherman, who is on his way to St. Louis but it is
not probable that any additional steps be taken
by the Administration for the preservation of the
peace at FL Paso. All the available troops have
been ordered to that point aud they are moving
with the greatest possible expedition. The nearest
garrison is 800 miles distant, and not fifteen,
