upon private signs Of recognition. and they founded

societies OF Agrippa, the arch-magician. and the
Institution or frecmasonry. To say nothing OF ira

SAN ANTONIO (Tex), March pa
special to the Express" from Carrizo,
Tex, says:
A well-planned fiHbustering expe-
dition into Texas was frustrated BY in
formation furnished by the Mexican
authorities to the Sheriff of this county.
Mexican officials at Cuerro, Mexico, ar
rested Joaquin Marti, a Spaniard from
Havana, and two accCmplices. The
Mexican troops captured a courier of
Martis With letters giving full data
of the intended raid. The crossing was
to have been made at CarriZo on the
breaking out Of hostlities between
Spain and the United States. Robbery
was the object of the expedition. MeEi-
can troops are now hunting parties i'm
plicated. Some 400 men were ready TO
cross, armed and mounted. Mexican
cavalry is row patrolling the river
front. Great excitement prevails on
this side, and in case hostilities open,
State and Federal troops will be neces-
eary on the frontier.
