WASHINGTON Oct 2e some time ago it was
reported from the Rio Grande that 1000 or 5000
Mexicans we're marching from Monterey for
the border 1t was also stated that the object Of
the advance of 80 large q body Of Mexican SOL
ders was to oppose the United States troops
whenever they crossed into Mexico in pursuit
of thieves. The War Department thought that
such was the object of their movement until
President Diaz informed this department that
instead of being sent with the intent to interfere
with the punishment OF raiders, the troops were
to cooperate with the United States forces in
hunting them down. That such is the case. is
corroborated by Information received at the
War Department 1t is also learned
that Gen. Trevino, commander OF the
Mexican troops. is under orders to exter

long engaged In raids into the United States.
Another order Of Gen. Trevino's is to prevent
Mexicans crossing the Rio Grande and stealing
cattle and whatever they can lay their hands ON.

where Gen. Ord has gone to pay him O. visit

It is willing to CO operate. which has heretofore
been the case. that the end Of the raids is draw

and Trevino and what follows will show whether
these expectations are well founded.
