REPORTS OF REBEL
RAID NEAR LANGTRY
DENIED BY OFFICIAL
Insurgent Officers Take

at Del Rio.

Del Rio, Tex, March S.-The story
published last Thursday in a number
of papers stating that a band of 30
rebels crossed the Rio Grande at Lang
try, sacking an American ranch and
taking back into Mexico large num-
Der of horses. cattle and provisions,
is without foundation, according to
Lisandro Pena, Mexican consul at this
eiyt.
Consul Pena declares that 300 fed
erals under Gen. II. Lucero were en-
that Mexican river guards have
secured that section of the country
and have found no trace of the rebels,
of saddles were found hidden in the
brush.
1t is known that the rebel general,
Emilio, and Colonel Tirza crossed the
river several days ago at Langtry and
purchased supplies but no depreda-
tons whatever have been made III
that section and there is no force of
rebels within % miles of the border III
the immediate vicinity.
"Wednesday night two rebel officers,
Col. Jose X. Castellano and Capt. An
tonic J. Perales, crossed the river near
Langtry and came TO Del Rio, where
they conferred with American immi-
grafton officials and made a deposit
for the head tax. which under the law
permits six months in which to CON-
plete payment or return to Mexico.
The officers declared they crossed
to the American side for safety that

they were in no way connected with
the recent raid on the San Miguel
ranch, owned by resident o. Del
