THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
MEXICO CLAIMS LANDS CUT OFF BY
RIO GRANDE FREsHETs.
Custom House officials Seize Sheep Belong
ing to An American and General Whea-
ton Sends Troops to Investigate the
Matter-A Controversy Probable.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3l.-There is
more trouble on the Mexican border
This time it threatens to assume a
more serious aspect, for it hinges on a
dispute as to the real boundary line
between the United States and Mexico,
In report of the matter received at
the war department today from Gen
eral Wheaton, commanding the de-
partment of Texas, he states that he
was informed by the commanding of :
ficer at Fort Ringgold that the sheriff
of Hidalgo county had received infor-
nation that party of armed Mexicans
had crossed the United States border
and seized 5000 sheep and the
brother of the absent proprietor, a
man named Satenas. Captain Fur
bush, of the United States army, and
20 men were sent to investigate, and
the statement given in the sheriff's
communication was found correct.
According to Furbush's report the
sheep were grazing on piece of land
claimed by parties living on each aide
of the Rio Graude. Owing to changes
in the river this property was cut off
from the American side and parties
occupying the land adjacent on both
sides of the river dispute its owner
ship.
The siezing party acted under in
structions from the Mexican custom
house officials at Matamoras. Captain
Furbush states that he read
the instructions given the Mex
lean officer in charge and found
that he was directed to take two as
sistants to make the seizures, but he
took 90 armed men with him.
General Wheaton had instructed
Captain Kurdish to hold both the
siezing party and the sheriff and not
to allow any person to cross or recross
the river pending action by the war
department. Owing to the interna'
tional aspect the affair has assumed,
owing to the disputed boundary line,
no action will be taken until confer
ence is had with the officials OF the
state department.
