THE MEXICAN RAIDER.

more importance is now attached to
Garza's raid. Captain Bourke is
authority for the statement that
every Mexican on the American
side is supporter Of Cara, aud the
masses Of northern Mexico are simi.
larry inclined. The fact that q IRA
continues TO recruit followers from
the American side, increases the
responsibility Of the American gov
ernment in permitting violations of
the neutrality laws, and American
officials concerned are much wor-
ried. All available American troops,
1t is said, are out now, and General
Stanley had instructions If neces
sary to use all the men Ia his de.
partment. Authentic information
has been received that Garza's men
have been protected by Mexican
ranchers In Texas, but the bands
are 30 badly scattered and the troops
so watchful that 1t will be impossible
for him to throw any large body iu
Mexico at one point, as has been his
intention. Captain Hardie and his
troop reported from Alice yesterday
morning that they had been scout
ing uD and down the river, but
nothing was discovered. At Rio
Grande City warrants have been
issued against the Cara men for
the killing of Coporal Edstrom, aud
several suspicious characters have
been arrested. AS matters look now,
exciting developments may be ex-
pected in short time, as the United
States troops are likely to come into
contact with the revolutionists soon.
