No. 1316.]

Excellency: With reference to my note No. 1210 of April 7 last relative to fears of a rebel movement at Laredo, Tamaulipas, expressed by Ambassador Wilson, and to the possibility of the rebels finding support and cooperation in Texas, I hasten to apprise your excellency that according to the latest intelligence received by the department of foreign relations the rebels are showing greater activity on the Texas frontier between Laredo and Brownsville, as the consul of Mexico at Laredo, Tex., reports a very noticeable movement of arms and ammunition consigned to Laredo and other points, among others Fremont, where a merchant by the name of J. C. Canales is in collusion with the rebels.

I take the liberty of communicating the foregoing to your excellency for all pertinent purposes, and renew, etc.

M. de Zamacona.
