EAGLE PASS, Feb. 6.-(Special. For
some days past trouble has been feared
by citizens of Dimmitt county. Numer-
ous raids have been made from Mexico
and at every raid number Of horses
and cattle have been driven over the
Rio Grande. Four rangers only were
allowed by the state to protect from In
cursions frontier OF over sixty miles,
and they have been practically useless.
Cattlemen of that section organized
Vigilance committees aud OF late have

on their own account. Eleven Mexican
bandits In tho last three weeks have
been found in Dimmitt county ana
SHOT 10 PIECES.
Last night Samuel Jones, n prominent
stockman of this section, arrived here
and after tarrying long enough
to lay In supply OF arms

John 0meara, deputy sheriff of Dim.mitt
county, and two stock men, discovered
ak Mexican thieves driving cattle to-
ward the Rio Grande. Four of the Mex

Seven bandits are now confined al Car
rizo Springs, and their friends and the
dead mems friends threaten TO raid and
burn the town. There are some 300
armed men in and near Carrie, and 1t
is said the Mexioans can bring a supe-
rior force. Sheriff Oglesby, OF this
place, has sent armed men to that local
ity, and Capt. Seekers ranger company,
in camp at Uvalde, has left for the
scene OF trouble. The Mexicans killed
yesterday swell the sum total OF bandits
slain near Carrizo Springs. to thirteen
in the last three weeks, and the Next
cans, who are camped at the old Altita
rancho, Just over the river, are mad
dened by the loss OF their
comrades. Sheriff Tumlinson, OF
Mexican and Indian fighter, and per-
sists that he can hold his town, but the
current opinion is tina the moro armed
Americans thrown init that place in the
next few days, the bet err 1t will DO for
the
HELPLESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN
there confined. The niggardly policy
OF the state with regard to Offering IRON
tier protection is bitterly condemned.
The few United States regulars in the
country are absolutely useless, as
thousands of yards of red tape have to
be unwound Def re they can be utilized.

DEL RIO, Feb. 6.-[Special.] -Mexicans
opposite here have obtained tho news OF
the assassination of their countrymen
in Dimmitt county, and are discussing
1t excitedly. Meetings are held at all

THE LATEST ON THE SITUATION.
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. IL A. .M.-tSpe-
news from Carrizo Springs tonight.
All the western telegraph offices have
closed. Garlic is fifty miles from the
nearest railway or telegraph station, in
billy, brushy country, fifteen miles from
the Rio Grande, and entirely isolated
from any extraneOus assistance except
by forced marches. There is q heavy
detachment of United States troops at
TT. Clark, 100 miles distant north, and
another at Laredo, ninety miles south,
but there is no information of their hav-
ing been called on, and they will proba-
bly not be. The whole of the frontier,
0O6 miles long, is constantly open to pre-
datory incursions, and the United States
posts are objects rather of Mex
loan curiosity than fear. Rapine raids,
and counter-raids, murders and coun-
ter-murders have been unusually COM
mon of late in that section, and the
threatened adjustment of the state
troops has tended to make them
more so.
