San Antonio, Tex. , December 13, 1892 .

Col. Ceron sends word to me to-day from Laredo as follows: “One hundred and odd outlaw’s surprised detachment at San Ignacio on the 10th. They set fire to the barracks and killed a captain, an ensign, and four soldiers. They then recrossed to Texas, taking with them fifty horses, arms, and ammunition.”

P. Ornelas.
