Recognizing you as the representative of the American Government on this border, the official who should be fully informed as to acts emanating from the American side and in defiance of the laws of your country, I have to say: All of the soldiers with whom I have talked since I wired you the other day regarding the encounter on the border on the 11th instant unite in stating that they were fired upon from the Texas side of the river while the fight on the Mexican side was in progress. * * *
