on information the reporter had ev-
cry reason to believe was reliable,
which was supplied b. United States
Officers, who also believed il to be
reliable, in which il was stated that
General Herrera had at one time lived
IN Brownsville, and also that he had
cnce lived in San Antonio.
Ii now develops that General Her
rera had never lived in Brownsville.
or in San Antonio. SO far as can be
learned. However, there is a Rodolfo
Herrera living in San Antonio who
also resided in Brownsville at one
time, who is the inventor Of an aero
bomb which he offered to sell to the
United States government and later
to the Mexican government. The
names are the same. but the men are
different. and not even related, so
far as known.
The Herald makes this correction
in Justice to the Rodolfo Herrera now
living in San Antonio. who, 50 far a.
is known to this paper, is a reputable,
worthy citizen in every respect.
This gentleman is a salesman for a
well known furniture house in San
Antonio and stands high both as to
character and as to business eff
cheney.
The report in The Herald Of Nav

the death of the late president of
