lie. indicating the growth OF the revo-
lutionary movement. Dispatches are
rushing to and fro from the Mexican
officials to the United States officers on
the frontier, and in the near
future there will be a gen

1t is also reported that another party
made another RAID at San Ygnaclo, but
did not recross to this side, but went on
into Mexico This is contrary to first re-
ports, which was part of the strategy

from San Antonio. Tex, to the News
says no advices were received today
from any of the five troops of the Third
cavalry now scouting for the Mexican
reyolutionists, indicating that the troops
are many miles from points of commune
cation. Despite dispatches from Mexico
to the contrary, the Mexican troops
on the border have been reinforced and
are vigilant Oil the Mexican side. The
Mexican authorities give assurance that
the revolutioniSts are not OH Mexican soil
and if they have recroSSed to Texas it is
not likely that they can maintain an or
ganiZation and avoid engagement with
the troops. AdviceS from New Laredo
announce the death of two more Next
