Two men have just been tried be-
fore the Court Of Assizes Of the Bias
Pyrennes Tor number Of robberies,
which, by an accidental circumstance,
led to an interesting archaeological dis
covery. The accused, Rivas, q shoe
maker, aged 80, and BelIaif, . weaver,
aged 26. were arrested in May last,
after frequent burgIaries and armed
attacks on the highways had spread
terror around the ncighbcrhood Of Sis
|teron. The evidence against them
was very clear, but no traces could
be found Of the plumber, until one Of
the men gave clue to the mystery.
Rivas in his youth had been shep-
herd. boy near that place, and knew
the legend of the Trou d'Argcn, a cav
|ern at the summit of one of the Alps,
with sides so PERCEPTIONS as to be al
most inaccessible, and which no one
was ever knownto have reached. The
commissary of police of Sisteron, after
extraordinary labor, succeeded in seal
ing the mountain and penetrating to
the mysterious grotto, where he dis
covered an enormous quantity of sto-
len articles of all kinds, comprising
watches. clothes. domestic articles,
food, spirits, fire arms, etc. The way
having been once found, the vast cav
ern was afterwards explored by sa-
vans, and their researches brought to
light q number of Roman medals of
the third century, flint hatchets, orEa-
mental pottery and the remains of
ruminants of an enormous size.
The advocate Of Rivas asked for the
indulgence Of the jury for these pio-
neers Of science, but both persons
were sentenced to twenty years hard

THE RIO GRANDE DIFFICULTY.

ST.. Louis, November 1l-Late adj
vices from Ell Paso say it is now be-
lieved there were a number of emissa-
ries Of Ler1o in the band of Mexicans
which crossed the Rio Granle about
two weeks age and had a fight with
Indians on Texas soil while ostensi-
bly, following Indians. There seems
to be no doubt that the real object OF
these Lerdoists is to stir up new
revolution, and if possible overthrow
Diaz. This band of Mexicans have
not left yet. and are intriguing and
doing everything in their power to
precipitate a war between the United
States ard the Diaz government in
hope of overthrowing the latter and
again obtaining power for themselves
It's said Lerdo's agents are very &C
tive all along the Rio Grande, and are
also plotting within the army Of Diaz.
General Hibbard, eff Texas, returned
to Austin yesterday 10 consult with
General Ord and General Steele, the
latter of the State forces, regarding
the present state of affairs on the
frontier. Major Jones, of the Texas
battalion at Ell Paso, has telegraphed
the Governor that immediate trouble
is apprehended, and the Governor has
been solicited by number of persons,
especially militia officers, to precipi-
tate conflict if the Federal Govern
ment will not. United States troops
on the Rio Grande are distributed as
follows: Fort Brown, 100; Ringgold,
3 companies; Fort Mcintosh, com,
pany; Fort Duncan, 4 companies;
Fort Clark, near Eagle Pass, 5 com
panies. Two thousand Texas militia,
under Brigadier General James, are
organized and ready to march across
the Rio Grande. They only want the
word.
