Hinojosa, secretary Of war, has issued an
order prohibiting the importation Of fire
arms and ammunition into the IONA Libre
from river towns and the expectation OF
arms from Matamoras into the interior.
This order is intended to cripple the state
government Of Tamaulipas under Gen
Cuella and prevent his adherents from pre-
pairing to resist the federal government, tut
it will fail in its purpose.
Large quantities of arms and ammunition
are being continually struggled in that state
The federal government can never put a
stop to the wholesale smuggling until the
force Of guards is increased about tenfold
One hundred Winchester carbines and 0,00I

Gently brought to Brownsville The federal
cavalry guards and the customs patrol kept
the best lookout possible for several weeks,
but every gun and cartridge has safely
passed into the lower country.
