Official memoranda compiled at the War
department show that raids by federal troops
across the Rio Grande have been made sew
ersl times within the past twelve months.
On July rs, Is76 Gen. Sheridan forwarded
tive to raids by Kickapoo Indians, and TO
the crossing OF Emitted states troop into
Mexico in pursuit. He also rep0 ted that
during last summer numerous raids were
made into Texas by Indians and Mexicans
and that, on July 80, Col. Shafter crossed
with his command aud attacked the Kfcka-
poo Indians, capturing their camp and de-
stroying their supplies. In April last Col.
Shafter also reported a raid into Texas by
Mexieans and Indians. during which 200
head of horses were driven OFF. II will thus
be seen that raids of the character in ques-
ton are no new thing, although in no case
have they received the official sanction of
the government. The latter now proposes To
authorize such raids when necessary, and
hence the excitement in Mexico. A report
says that Gen. Ord. commanding the federal
forces on the Rio GTande, and Gen. Trevino,
Mexican commander on the same river
have had a conference recently, with a view
of deviSing some way TO suppress depreda-
hoped some measures calculated to accom-
plish this end were agreed upon. If the
Mexican government is really disposed to
put an end to these outrageous invasions of
our soil, II can easily do so III IL would
hang or shoot every raider caught, the bust
ness would soon be broken up.
