SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 2s.-tSpecial +
Gen. Stanley, commanding this depart
ment, has received official notification
from Washington that the agreement
with the Mexican government allowing
reciprocal military crossing Of the Rio
Grande in case of the invasion of either
country by Indians or outlaws has been
resumed, and Gen. Stanley accordingly
ordered Lieut.. Eggleston, who is now
encamped on the Rio Grande, to imme-
diately cross into Mexico in pursuit of
the Indians who recently raided Pre-
sidio county, numbering the Petty fam
lily and stealing alRrge amount of stock.
owing to the delay In securing re-
sumption of the pr0tocal, which OK
pred August IL last, II is not thought
Eggleston stands any chance of over
taking the Indians. 1t Is hoped, how
ever, that the reinstatement of the in
creased field military operations will
have great effect in checking predatory
incurSions. The main points OF tho
agreement are that soldiers OF both ma
tlons may cross in close pursuit OF raid
ers; that the crossing shalt be in un.
populated desert places; mat there shall
bo no entry between Captleal, a town
tifty-two leagues above Piedras Negras,
atd the mouth of the Rio Grande; that
abuses committed by soldiers OF either
government shall be punished by their
own authorities.

Bank Failure.


MippLETowN, Nov. 2S.-- The Middle
town National bank has failed. Its
doors were closed this morning. The
failure was cause by the president.
Thomas King, who accepted large drafts
from Benjamin D. Brown. a grain dealer
of Indianapolis, and Burlippton
Iowa, without security. Brown has
made an assignment. Capital, 500, 900;
surplus, $4,000. The extent OF the loss
is not known definitely as vet. rho
depositors will lose nothing. President
King takes all the blame on himself.
his recent advancements were made
without tho knowledge Of the other
officers and directors OF tae bank. Ex-
aminers are on the way from Washing
ton. A slight run ensued on the say
ings bank, which easily met the crisis.
Bank Examiner George L. Nav. OF
Washington, is now in possession OF the
Middleton national bank. In July last
the directors notified President King
that Browns credit must not be ex.
tended but reduced. King disobeyed
the instructions and broke the bank.
The record OF the acceptance of Browns
drafts on the bank were kept by King
In book in his own possession and con,
coaled from other officers. So far as
known more than 500, 900 of such accep-
tances are out. 1t Is the opinion of the
best informed that the entire capital
and surplus will be wiped out.
The run ON tho savings bank
amounted to draw out of $2OO,O0O to-
day. The bankis solvent and ready for
any emergency.
Houston d Conklin and G. G. V.

VINO are endorsers for considerable
amouuts on Browns paper, have made
assignments TO protect their credit.
President King Is at home very i'll. II
Is not thought here that he has profited
by the crooked transactions, but he was
infatuated with Brown. Browns opera
tons were very heavy. As much as
@oO,OOO OF his paper was handled by the
bank In a single week.
