SAN ANToNIo, Tex, Nov. p
United States Revenue Collector
Bell arrived here Saturday from an
extended inspection trip along the
Rio Graude borders. He states that
large number Of bandits for some
time have been boldly engaged in
smuggling operations along the
border near Romea. They are a
terror to the custom house aud
honest citizens. 1t was formerly the
cnstom Of smugglers to bring duti-
sble articles from Mexico into this
country, but BOW nearly al! the
smuggling that is being done along
that part Of the border is from the
Uuited States to Mexics. The duty
on dress goods aud tobacco was
raised by the Mexican government
not along ago. This heavy duty
has caused this change in tue SNUG
Cling business, aud great quantities
II leaf tobacco and prints are s"ld
ny merchants on this side 10 pro-
fessional smugglers. The custom
mouse guards are unable to prevent
this violation of the law, and the
smugglers are said to be desp, rate
characters. They go well armed
and in sufficient numbers to over
come any resistance the guards may
make. They understand that if
captured on the Mexican side death
is certain, and so they give no
Iuarter when they come in contact
with government soldiers or Officers,
