of the troops on the Mexican bo der.
An Epitdph reporter interviewed Gen.

information: Our people have been great
sufferers. We have lost many citizens
killed, aad much property Glen. We
are, therefore, taking active steps to pro-
tect our citizens and reEel raiders. There
are 1000 regulars besides the militia on
the line, and three forts, and supply
camps hre to be established at once.
Every precautien will be taken
to protect both our OWN citizens and such
Americans as are engaged in Legitimate
Industry within our lines.

cial business?

tive men of your cities, and also have
an interview with your governor and

R.1What will you propose to our
chief official? G.-I hops 10 affect an
arrangement By which q most thorough,
no n of aianf u
exist between American and Mexican
troops to operate on the border: We
can only drive out these thieves
and murderers by united action. We are
not only willing but very anxious that
such united action should exist.
R.-Hsve American raiders done
much damage in your country recently?
g. Yes. Affairs have gradually been
growing more and more desperate. 1t is
estimated that within the last month
more than ten citizens, have been killed
and upwards Of $4,000 worth Of pro-
perty taken.
R'-Are your ople under the i'm
preston that this disposition to raid Is
general among the citizens Of this
section? G.-NO. we believe that Ameri-
can officials and the great majority Of
your ClLlZ5uSJ u0pEGChI0 LnCe6 nCtS Vi
laWlessness, and believing this we have
courage to hope that by united effort the
outlaws may be suppressed, and az early
adjustment of the difficulties effected.
Two companies of the sixth Cavalry
have been ordered from Camp Huachucs,
to Camp Grant, the nearest post to the
scene Of the troubles.
An American just in from Sonora
gives the following additional in
formation about the Week party of
Americans, numbering about twenty
five, supposed TO be from San Simon,
who made raid in the vicinity Of Ba-
yispe, gathered up all the loose stock
they could find and started homewsrd.
The Mexicsns organized a party, over
took the raiders, fight ensued, in which
the Mexicsns we're defeated and eight of
their number killed. a courier was
sent post haste to Gen. Otero, at Fronte-
ras, with full particulars Of the raid.
General Otero at once ordered Cap
tain Csrrillo, with his company, to the
fine, where the raiders were expected to
cross with the plumber. AS the courier
had ridden day and night, Captain Car
rillo thought they must be some dis
lance ahead of the raiders. 1t is not i'm
probable that the killing in Guadalupe
Gallon might have ben done by Mex
lean regulars under Captain Carrillo, as
they were headed IN that direction. Car
tillo had about fifty men in his company.
