Senior Manuel Rincon. private secretary
of the governor of Chihuahua, called on
consul Brigham Yesterday and assured him
of his regard and friendship He said the
troops had been sent to Paso del Norte

Fort Worth and other points in the state
say that intense excitement prevails
throughout Texas in consequence of the
Mexican authorities OBTAINING Editor
Cutting of Ell Paso, despite the repeated de-
mands made for his release by the United
States minister at the City of Mexico, and
Consul Brigham at Ell Paso. This, it is
said, is but one of the many indgnities
which have been heaped upon American
| citizens in Mexico, and at Fort Worth the
papers say strong war feeling is apparent.

men all tell of incursions on the border; of
their stealing and murders committed by
marauders

be British subjects, and adds: This plan OF
protection is also being adopted to go into
the country armed Passengers are
searched at the Mexican Central depot and
every pistol found is contiscated This
was done several times yesterday British
| subjects and those from any European
state as well as Mexican, can carry arms at
pleasure. This is humiliation that brings
subjects of the American government into
ridicule and sharp criticism that she of all
other nations is powerless to protect her
| own citizens in neighbor republic, and
| they must seek it by claiming that they are
| British subjects

There is considerable hustle about mill
tary headquarters here and although the of
ficers are reticent, the report is current that
Gen. Stanley has received orders to have
all of his available forces ready to move on
a moments notice to Ell Paso whenever the
order is received. The gathering of the
Mexican war-cloud is watched here with a
great deal of interest, and but one opinion
prevails, that the Mexican government
shonld be taught that it cannot treat Amer
lean citizens with indignity"
