Show Militia on Outpost Duty. EAGLE PASS, Texas, July 3. A large body of Mexican cavalry rode Into Piedras Negras, Mexico, early tonight. The outposts out-posts on the American side of the river, several companies of the newly arrived Vermont and Kansas guardsmen, took stations north of the town along the rived bank. The remainder of the guardsmen guards-men were ordered not to leave camp. The strengthening of the outposts was ordered largely for the benefit of the guardsmen, who were given an opportunity oppor-tunity to realize that their stay on the border was not a pleasure trip. |
