Weak Spot in Patrol.

The severity and long continuance of
the battles in the neighborhood of OIL
maya. with the accompanying great ex-
penditure of ammunition. have led some
of the officials here to the conclusion that
there must be a weak spot in the Ameri-
can border patrol through which ammu-
milton is being smuggieo across the line.
For some time past it has been under
stood that the constitutionalists were Sc
curing their ammunition by capturing
federal supplies. But the federals in the
north Of Mexico. with few exceptions, for
many weeks have been completely cut or
from communication by rail or road with
any base to the southwark from which
they could procure ammunition. and it
is believed to be evident that the con-
must have been supplied
from the American side of the line. Every
effort will be made to ascertain the facts
and stop violations Of the Presidents
proclamation.

Tending Ojinaga has been more brilliant

ports published in the last few days, &C

peated repulses by the gallant federal
troops, lost over 4UU killed, among them
being two lesser 'chieftains': two field
pieces and several machine guns were
taken. together with an abundant amount
Of ammunition. Whatever doubt may
have existed In the minds of certain per-
sons as to the ability OF the federal gov
eminent finally to crush the marauding
bands Of disorganized rebellion operating
in different portions Of the country must
certainly have been dispelled by the signal
victories obtained by the upholders Of or
der In the recent rebel defeats at Tam
pico, Laredo and Ojinaga.
