Border Raiders TO be Punished.
CHICAGO, Aug. %. The Tribuae's Washing.
ton special states upon apparently good au.
thority that the administration has settled
upon the following policy as regards the Rio
Gmude border difficulties with Mexlcans:
First Raiders are to be pursued with IN
creased vigor when they retreat to Mexican
soil and punished if caught. The troops en-
gagged in these pursuing parties will be in
creased from time to time. Second--The
commanding officer Of the pursuing columns
will not seek conflict with the Mexican
regular forces, but will not avoid one if such
forces interfere. He will, in the event of
such opposition, overcome it if possible and
after ha ing exhausted all reasonable meas
ures to accomplish the capture and punish
ment OF inarauders return to the American
bank Of the river. Third-Under no circum-
stances will the pursuing forces be permitted
to exceed these instructions, and while on
Mexican soil they will strictly contine them
selves to the single object of their expedition.
The utmost care will be taken to give no
oifense or cause of complaint to the Mexican
authorities or people that may follow from
the faithful and Circumspect execution Of
their duties. Fourth-No offense is meant
TO the Mexican government, the design of the
United States being simply to punish depre
dating ON the rights of property ana lives of
its citizens. Ffth--Nothing which may oo-
cur on the south bank of the Rio Grande as
result OF the execution of this policy will I've
accepted by the administration as an imme
diate cause of war between the countries, but
if Mexican regular troops thall cross the river
IN retaliation Of these measures cdsus beHi
may be construed therefrom.

hans had been killed when the runner left. |
tie also reported that about 500 young In.
ilans had lett the main body and We're travel |
ng north. Major Pollock hurried to the
cene OF the trouble, but the Indians indig- |
lanty refused to receive any counsel from
nm, and plainly told him to let them alone.
Ihe cause Of the trouble is not given, but
lave grown out OF difference OF opinion
xisting among the Indians in regard to the
move A large number were in favor of re-
naming on the river, but through the efforts
u leading chiefs were compelled to submit to
ne decision Of the minority. This, together
'ith the trouble abont rations, is supposed to
ave been the cause Of the outbreak.
