Further details of the attack by Tapia's
men on the train at Copute station con-
firm the account sent yesterday. Col
onel Prsjadis Cavasses, with force Of
cavalry, arrived at the station within
an hour after the train had passed,
but found that Tapia's men had
also left. 1t is thought that he
is pressing them close, though no
account of fight has yet been OBJ
tanned. The rey0lutionists are raiding
all the ranches, and Thursday near
Solicieno stopped ranchero and de.
nsndod his horse and pistols. The
latter refused and fired at one of the
party, wounding him, when his body
was riddled with bullets, strung to
tree on the roadside as q warning TO
others, and his horse and pistols car
ried off in triumph. The revolution
appears to be spreading in the State of
Nuevo Leon.

Today, hovovor, sheriff Britto re-
ccivsd the following dispatch from
Santa Maria
"Las, night fifteen men crossed from
this side TO La Balsa to Join the party.
Among them were Marcus De Luna,
Manuel IIiuslosa, Bernardo Gonzales,
and other good men. They are steal
ing guns and pistols and horses from
the rarches IN front of here. They
killed one man yesterday because ne
would not give up his pistols Santa
Maria is twenty-five miles above here
on the river, and there is a small
sub-post of United States cavalry sta
toned there. AS the parties mentioned
in the telegram are noted desperadoes
and outlaws indicted here, Britto at
at once left with force of deputies for
the scene Of action, and on his repre-
sentation Major Kellogg sent up force
of cavalry to reinforce the sub-post aud
prevent any invasion Of American soil.
1t is known that the revolutionists
want arms badly, and as there is a
large supply at IIynes's stores, in Santa
Maria, 1t is feared that they may be
tempted to attack and capture them.
