WASHINGTON. D C Nov. 22-
Rear* Admiral Fletcher cabled today
that the battleship New Hampshire
has left Tuxpam ar.d returned to Vera
Cruz.
This movement in connection with
a pledge from the rebel General Agui
lar that his men would not molest for-
eign property was regarded as evi
dence of the restoration of order be-
tween Tuxpam and Tampico.
V/ith a full realization there prob-
ably will be no immediate change in
a diplomatic sense .interest now cen-
ters in the naval situation off the gulf
coast.
The arrival of a new British cruiser
is regarded as evidence that the Unit
ed States and England are acting in
perfect harmony.

DREAM COMING TRUE

FOR FIRST TIME IN II IS LIFE BE-
LIEVES BROWNSVILLE'S DREAM
FOR DEEP WATER IS ABOUT TO
BECOME REALIZATION.
Five hundred dollars more for the pro
posed raidroad from Brownsville to
tid. water and a public spirited citizen
| today made Hie following comment on
the proposition
"1 have just left the Oil imber of Com
: merce where I signed a bonus note for
+500. and the only regret I have is that
I was not able to make it ten times that
amount.
‘•The b_nus notes already signed con-
vinced me that the proposition to bail I
.i railroad to (In* coast has the moral and
financial support of some of our best
business men. and I am now confident for
{the first time in my life that our dream
i f a deep water part at Brazos Santiago
| is about to become a icalization. I have
j given tin* matter much thought and I
believe as Mr. Browne stated in liis in-
terview published in yesterday's Herald
that it is the one thing necessary to the
prosperity ami future greatness of
Brownsville and the Rio (Jrandc Valley.
••Our transportation facilities must be
improved and P greased or' .Vefflitst re
main where we .\re. There is only cue
avenue of escape \rom oppressive freight
rates and poor transportation and that
is through the Brazos Santiago Pass.
A‘l do not see any reason in the world
why every citizen of Brownsville wh > is
abb* to do so. should not call at the
Chamber of Commerce and sign lor such
amount as he can a fiord. I cannot imag-
ine anyone so mean as the man who
would r could enjoy prosperity at the
expense of his neighbor.
‘■Mr. O'Brien is engaged in a great
work and that lie enjoys the confidence
iof the people of Brownsville is attested
by IK«* bonus notes now in liis possession.
He should not be expected t.< call on the
people for their subscriptions. They
should go to him. If we do not build ihe
railroad we may as well «piit talking
deep water and a Oreater Brownsville.

TED STATES ARMY OFFICERS
ARE INVESTIGATING.
Sixteen officers of the Mexican feder*l
army \vh » have been nominal prinoncrs
of the Lnited States Army ami on parole
since they crossed the Rio Grande to
Brownsville on the day of the fall of Mat-
nmoros. are alleged to have left Browns-
v*Be contrary to their parole agreement.
United States army officers are today
cheeking up the fnicrul army officers to
ascertain whether they arc all here.
Major Esteban Ramos who was com-
mander of the Mataiuoros garrison dur-
ing and p’ior to the battle of M a tumor on
is said to have left Brownsville for La-
redo Thursday liioinn.g pi 'aabF catch-
ing the train somewhere out of the city
it is teliably reported today th;it his
family is pri‘pariug to join him in La-
redo. awaiting only the receipt of news
that he has arrived at Nuevo Laredo
sa fely.
Oaptnin Abasia another officer left
Brownsville on the d.4~> o clock train yes-
terday afternoon presumably for Laru-
do. At least seven other of the officer*
and probably m re have left flic city
sime Wednesday. which was the last
time they were reported us present to
the I idled States army officer* in com-
ma ml he re.
It is slated by army officers that the
Failed Slate's had no hold on the Mex-
ican federal army officers except their
word of honor that they would remain
in tb-* cit\ vf Brownsville. Altogether
there were originally eighteen officers
under parole every one of whom signed
the parole agreement. These signatures
were compared with signatures of the
men taken twice weekly at the Mexican
t.’onsulate and turned over to the United
Stales officers by the consulate-. This is
the method which has been used in
checking up the men. The* last cheek
was made* Wednesday.
On Wednesday there were sixteen of
the ofticcrs in tin* city one of eightceu
having escaped about two months ago
and another reported to have disappear-
ed leaving the impression that he had
suicided by drowning in the Rio Grande
during the high waters. It is confidently
believed that he left for s me point to
join tht federals. At least nothing ex-
cepting part of his clothes were evbr
found.
