Information received at San Antonio,
thought to be reliable, is to the effect that
the instruction against the Diaz Govern
ment is steadily but surely ripening. 1t is
thought that Lerdo's party are arming the
Mexican Indians, and instigating them to
raids across the Rio Grande, in order to stir
up further trouble with our Government.
Particulars regarding the recent Mexican
Indian raid across the Rio Grande, received
at San Antonio, show that large number
Of ranches were raided, all the horses run
off, and a number of persons killed and
wounded, variously stated at from 10 to 40.
The raiders recrossed the river into Mexico
and were being pursued by large force of
soldiers and citizens. 1t is said that two
American boys, George and Dick Taylor,
aged Il and Z, were carried off by the raid
ers from their home near Fort Mcintosh.
