partment today.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 90
Withdrawal OF the second American
expedition from Mexico TO Boquillas,
Tex. will be accomplished in few
days.
Col Sibley believes his mission Of
dispensing the bandits who raided
Boquillas and Glenn Springs has been
accomplished and he has notified
headquarters OF his intention to re-
turn 10 the border. For this reason,
the Sixth cavalry, which withdrew
from the first expedition yesterday.
will be utilized as Big Bend patrol
instead OF reinforcing the first ex-
petition
Reports today showed that in the
recent brush of the second expedi-
ton with Mexicans four bandits
were wounded and two captured.
They had held as prisoner Car
rama commanders son, thus show
ing they were not allied with the
Carranzistas.
The second expedition has dispers-
ed the bandits. driving them some
thing more than l25 miles below the
border Further. It has released
Deemers and Payne. the American
captives. taken in the Big Bend
raids. This, taken with the fact
that the Mexican country below the
