Nuevo Leon, with an escaped Mexican
convict, arrested here a few days ago,
haii returned and describes a threaten¬

Bio Qrande to Saltillo. He says that at
nearly every station and sidetrack along
the Mexican National railroad hs saw
crowds of men congregated and excited¬

When he left Laredo Monday morn¬
