COWBOYS WAITING FOR MEXICANS. We Report Yet That Any Southern Army Has Crossed the Rio Grande Into Texas. San Antonio—Feeling between Gringoes and Mexicans along the border is intense.

The feeling is not so much a matter of nationalism as it is a personal question between "Greasers" and "Gringoes."
