1616. Following just received from General Mann, Laredo:

Major Gray is in communication with Carrancista troops opposite San Ygnacio and was informed that they are after the bandits on the Mexican side and have killed four of them and have patrols up and down the river. Latest information is that attacking party consisted of about sixty men from Las Tortillas ranch about fifteen miles inland opposite San Ygnacio. Major Gray has been unable to pick up trail of retreating bandits. It is believed they have scattered and crossed river singly or in very small parties.
