but not fatally. The food for the
! morning meal was put out last night
and left in the kitchen, the door to
which was left unlocked. It is sup
posed that some evil disposed person
came in and put arsenic in the food,
which was cooked and eaten. The
poison was in such large quantities
that it served as an emetic, and thus
were all saved from death.

weston special from San Antonio,
says the following will appear in the
morning Herald, and is authentic from
a gentleman just returned from Clark.
Friday last Gen. Muncia, command
ing the Mexican government troops,
was killed by Escobeda's soldiers,
near that place. Saturday. Gen. Nc
Kenzie and Col. Shalter, with strong
force, crossed into Mexico in pursuit
Of the raiders, about forty miles north
of Eagle pass. That night they were
obliged to return to Texas and imme-
diately telegraphed for reinforce
ments. Twenty companies OF cavalry
have been sent to their assistance
with section of artillery consisting
of two gatling guns and two rit1ed
cannon. 1t is believed at Fort Clark
that this aggregated force has re-en-
| tered Mexico. The troops have ff-
| teen days rations and heavy train.
with two experienced guides. Ex-
citing news is expected.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June l3.-The
Galveston News San Anton os special
says so Mexican troops under Col.
Valdez, arrived at Piedres Negras to
reinforce that place. Gen. NaranjO
joins Col Huncio at Lampas. Their
combined forces are about 800, besides
a considerable force at Laredo. ESQ.,
bedO's whereabouts are unknown. 1t
is generally conceded that the princi-
pie object of Mckenzie invasion of
Mexico is to recover American horses
now in possession of EscobedO with
secondary views Of dispensing the
revolutionary forces and relieving the
DiaZ government Of impending and
growing danger. McKenzie's forces
are not over 5000 cavalry, but well
provided with artillery. Owing to
the remoteness of the scene of opera
tons from the telegraph nothing is
expected concerning his dealings
within the week.
SAN FRANCISCO, June ia Silver
city dispatch says, Chief Winnemucca
has returned to Demands and Whip
pies camp on the Owyhee river. He
says the hostiles are killing hundreds
of cattle and leaving the carcasses to
rot. The hostiles have left STEMS
mountain, and are moving toward
Harvey valley, and thence toward the
Northern agency and Snake river. and
will probably keep on until they effect
a junction with the Columbia river
indians, which addition to their force
will, they calculate enable them to
sweep the country.
They are determined to retain the
Piutes prisoners until they can get a
sufficient number of arms from the
white men they kill to arm them.
Egan is rebellious, and horses and
arms have been taken from him and
his Indians. Camp Harvey will prob
ably be captured by the Indians to.
morrow. and if so there will be q ter.

there for protection. Nothing heard

arts forces, the party accompanying
him from Camp Lyon could easily be
captured by the savages. The gener-

, Massacrcs that will be perpetrated
bid fair to exceed in numbers those
of the Nez Perces war.
