A MYTHICAL STORY.
Mexican Soldiers Are Not Held Prisoners
in Texas

Mexican Soldiers Are Not Held Prisoners
in Texas.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Dec. 21.-General
Frank Wheaton, commander of this mill
tary department, has received a telegram
from Fort Mcintosh stating courier has
just arrived from San Ygnacio bringing
information that the federal authorities
have made complete investigation OF the
report that Mexican soldiers were held as
prisoners at San Ygnacio and that it is
untrue. The soldiers crossed over from
Mexico at the time of the fight opposite
San Ygnacio and have renamed on this
side OF the river of their own free will.
They refuse to return to Mexico, but for
what reason is not known 1t is believed
by many that they are in sympathy with
the bandits and they will JOIN the outlaws
when opportunity offers.
Troops of the Third cavalry, under COM
mand of Lieutenant West, are still in hot
pursuit of the bandits. The trail leads
down to the river and it is expected that
if the revolutionists are hard pushed they
will cross over into Mexico. In either
case they will meet a warm reception.
Other United States troops are engaged
scouting through the chapparal of the
border watching suspected ranches.
