There are yet three hands of bandits, commanded by Mangas de Agua and Francisco el Tuerto (a) el General, then passed Carrizo, stating they were going to cross over into Mexico between Mier and Gurrero. Proclamation and plan signed by Francisco el Tuerto, who commanded the raid at San Ignacio, and by many other persons. Another officer and a corporal died on the way to San Ignacio, Tex., where there are also 2 wounded soldiers.
