10 BLOODTHIRSTY The Arch Enemy of the United , States on the Rio Grande, * : » ANTECEDENTS AND VILLANY. A Record of Brutal Murders, Rapine and Recklessness in Texas. “DEATH TO THE YANKEES.” ‘Tho Wily Guerilla Chief Seeks Pardon for the Murder of Eleven Americans, ACTION OF THE TEXAN LEGISLATURE How Hoe Sought Revenge Against Portugal by Attempted Assassination. BROWNSVILLE, Texas, August 10, 1872. The doughty Brigadier General Juan Nepomicono @ortina, Mexican Army, ‘Comandante dela Linea del Bravo,” now resting on his bloody laurels, in ‘the full enjoyment of his Texan brevet of “Chief of ‘Thieves and Bandits,’ merits the attention of the American authorities. The encyclopedia of the Mexican government as to details of the frontier, states that his policy is dic- tated by one idea—“Let us have war, that ‘Wwe may steal.” The ‘Tiger of the Bravo,” mow in suburban retreats, contemplates with satis- faction his faithful ‘‘aigles,”’ peacefully enjoying the accumulations of many raids, and mayhap plans (within twenty miles) another swoop, fn which the ‘writer may be included. Non odstante, he shall not hide his light under a bushel. He was born in ‘Texas, on the Rio Grande, in 1826, and mow, at forty-six years of age, is the exponent of Mexican frontier policy. <A re- spectable parentage was to him no advantage. ©f roving habits, he soon made himself an accom- plished horseman, and the trackless chapparalis to himan open book. Familiar with every nook on the frontier, his future career called largely on the topographical learning of his‘ youth. To-day he is a man of five feet eight inches in height, dark hair and eyes, lighter in coniplexion than his coun- trymen in general, and when in citizen’s clothes is @ fair type of the better class of Mexicans, notwith- etanding his personal ignorance, he having hardly Jearned enough to enable him to write his name, Arover and a never-do-well in youth, he was a “fandangero,” or gay young buck. His riding and @ancing, drinking and bravado, in nothing separate ‘him from the ‘gilded’ youth of that character to- day onthe RioGrande. Now gman of fairly tem- ‘perate habits, ne indulges only in the association of loose women, notwithstanding he has a wife and child. He is ignorant of the rules of war, skilled only in guerilla fighting, and has been disconcerted ‘and whipped by a dash on his flank of one-sixth of his force, CHARACTER. ‘Wily, avaricious, ambitious and naturally intelli- gent, he is singularly well suited to his bloody call- ing. A trimmer in politics, thoroughly conversant ‘with the Mexican character, he has steered clear of the results which have overwhelmed more pre- ‘tentious leaders. A good paymaster, a natural commander, quick and keen, master of the art of deception, he uses all men for his own purposes, A shield to criminals, he gathers around him des- ‘erate men. Brooking no rivalry, he has made away with several ambitious subordinates, and in ‘the fall consciousness that he holds the frontier in his hands he proclaims himself a “patriot” and appeals to public sentiment. The government cannot depose him and the robber chieftain of one idea— death to the Yankees—is the man for the, place he holds, for no one could wrest it from him. His ‘yndoubted personal bravery is his great capital, and long experience has given him control over all of Mexican extraction whom he encounters, Ex- acting implicit obedience, he punishes infractions of his orders bitterly, Unreliable in pecuniary transactions, not to be trusted politically, a robber by habit, he cannot contro! himself in this respect, and the total disregard he entertains for human Hie is proved by wholesale murders, either the re- sult of personal vindictiveness or a desire to over- awe the rivals who may dream of future treachery. COMMENCING WITH MURDER. Driven from his home by crimes committed while @ boy, at fifteen he took refuge on a lonely ranch with an old shepherd and his wife. These bene- factors had a little hoard of money. The wolf they had succored murdered them both, robbing the ranch and enjoying the proceeds. From this start im life he began his dark career, threading alone or with some picked up compaaion the desert wilds of the Rio Grande. His work w2s then that of a simple thief and assassin, and his Inter deeds out- shine thesc early achievements. Busy in iniquity, he amassed money, then spent it in various excesses. In the Mexican war he was an employé of the United States Quarter- mester’s Department, and acted doubtless asa shrewd camp-follower. The wholesome fear {mspired by the American armies under Taylor and Scott was a check to border operations, and until 1859 the even tenor of his way was one of great ras- cality. Acquiring an ascendency ever his kind, he Obtained in 1859 a good outfit for wholesale busi- ness. It was thought that Americans would popu- late Western Texas rapidly. This not occurring, the brooding bandit, familiar with every foot of the ‘Nueces valley, offered to iead a force over the river and drive the hated Sungos beyond the Nueces. The Mexican peasantry were elated at the thought of dividing the countless herds of cattle to be cap- ‘tured (claimed by Cortina as their rightful inber- itance) CAUSES OF THE RAID OF 1859. The balance of trade was then with Texas. Brownsville flourished; $14,000,000 a year in value ‘Was entered at Brazos; the supplies were all bought on the Texan side, At all hazards it was determined to stop the trading. The infamous “Zona Libra’ was devised not only to correct the Mmegnality, but to tempt the cupidity of a largely Mexican population in Texas to smuggle. Our duties were then low and it did not pay. The golden moment for Cortina arrived. Well fur- mished with arms, artillery and money by the merchants of Matamoros, he determined on occupy- the Texan frontier. Plunder was his object, and e returned to jay under fire and sword his birth- lace. Easily recruiting his ranks, he was in the tide of apparent success. The path to glory was nm; shor he reconquer Texas, should he be Lionel, General, Minister, President or Dictator? Faith in himself and long brooding had caused him to weave many a glittering day dream. His eye, looking forward, could see no halter—ap) ‘priate cordon of his nobie order. On the 2sth of Bepeember, 1859, he occupied Brownsville with a ‘band of followers, many of whom were well known cutthroats (some now, happily, hung and gone to ‘their reward) ; MEN WERE MURDERED, ROBBERIES COMMITTED, and he raised his robber Bae al Heintzelman and Captain Stoneman, United States Ariny, Moved to the assistance of the citizens, The gul- Jant Colonel John S. Ford raised Texan troops to attack the intruder, who retired to his mother’s Fancho, eleven miles from Brownsville. From here hhe operated, murdering defenceless people, robbing the mati and plundering the country, Troops were concentrated, and avout December 1, 1459, Heint- velman attacked him, driving him of, giving him a ‘well merited beating. Secure in his line of retreat > across the river, and little thinking the dashivg Ford would f6llow nim over, he moved up the Rio Grande Valley, He burned and robbed the ranches of the Turners, of Champion; Reist, Neale, Stilman, Rhodes and others. Fire and sword ‘wronght a bloody work along the lonely prairies everywhere, brutality and abuse were lavished on prisoners, flocks and herds disappeared, personal goods and valuables vanished and women were maltreated. In his march he occupied Ringgold Barracks and Kio Grande City.

Ford, indefatigable aud ready for a brush, moved out of Brownsville for the scene of the expected trouble. He scoured the chapparal, disk ing and punishing the lurking bandits, At Zacat Cortina, from the Mexican side, opened fire on his advance. THE STEAMER APPEARING IN THE BEND above was fired on, and Ae eg showed his met- tle (as on many later fields) in a gallant defence. The vessel ran past Cortina’s line and was covered by Ford’s camp. In the afternoon Ford in person crossed and beat the bandit badly, killing neart; thirty of his men. No half measures suited the ou and-out Ford; he consulted with Stoneman and de- cided to move down on the Mexican bank, Stoneman acting in concert on the Texan shore. It was done next day, and Ford ran into a heavy Mexican force Palma, Cortina on the Jeft. An official parley ensuedand on ment Ford was allowed to move on in escort of the Ranchero; and finally assured that the regular Mexican troops would repress Cortina, he recrossed and moved with the boat to Browns- ville. None of the stolen property was ever re- covered, The Mexican authorities were cognizant of the war, assisted the bandit and only desisted attack when the American commanders had given them several sharp lessons. ELEVEN MURDERS BY CORTINA. Cameron county presented seventy-one indict- ments for murder and robbery against our hero, who was never punished. Outlawed by the State of Texas, he boasts he never signed the Guada- lupe Hidalgo Treaty, and for some time laughed at his eutiawry. In 1865 his toast at New Leredo was “Eternal hatred to all Americans.” In this he is popular exponent of Mexican feeling. This brutal and unprovoked war has never been avenged, and oe. the ruffan is in sight of the town he once sacked, During the Confederate occupation of Texas he payed fast and loose—selling artillery to the rebels: and once attacking themto get a drubbing. His military talents had now been proven and he was a leader among his kind. As a commander he shows taet, but does not handle men well in the open field, A change of front or a feint excites him, and his conduct on the fleld proved that he ‘was no match in the field fighti or bushwacking for his determined adversary Ford. By pinnier and nefarious traffic with the rebels he had made a furtune. He had £300,000 in the Bank of England, owned houses in various Mexican cities and four large ranches, Los Mayotes, La Camela, Seldadit id the Burgos. These he well s' with si cattle and horses still bearing their Texan brands. THE AIGLES IN UNIFORM. Quick to secure his personal safety he gathered ether his thieves under the name of the ‘‘Aigles’” (the Eagles), and uniformed them like the Devil's valet de chambre in a brass helmet, red breeches, blue coat and brown feet au naturel, or in sandals, These men he allowea liberty, and while retaining them in his pay fed them on stolen beef, and cleared expenses in selling the horses they stole to the Mexican government, On his lands, with their camp women in luxurious relaxation, his robbers passed happy days of ease; on the fertile plains [Haeey the wing ponies they ride; armed with Vinchesters and Spencers, their chief to guide, the Bh raced are to be greatly feared. The secret of their coherency is in good pay and rations, as well as the absence of red tape. They do not need the usual guard which watches marching Mexican troops, to prevent desertion. Chief and soldier (arcades ambo) have identical interests. A singular mode of recruiting is in vogue in this corps of latter-day free lances, The bjpeine! 3 general gives rand ‘Jandango.”” When music and mescal, sefloritas and cigars have amused and excited the crowd a guard enters and selects all the young men of irregular pursuits and impresses them. Desperate subordinate officers control the rest- less troopers, as Cortina always makes a point of saving any noted criminal of great dash or bravery, to give him a command. In this way and by open- ing the jails he has secured men whose principles change to suit the times, DURING THE EMPIRE the star of Cortina steadily rose. Changing from time to time, he enriched himself, watched his rob- bers’ roost, was alternately republican and impo. rialist, and crowned his personal baseness by be. traying the latter cause. For this personal trait he was promoted to be Brigadier-General of the regular Mexican army. Rich enough, he now cov- eted permanent command. Given regulars and his own “‘Aigies” with him, he was made ‘‘com- mandant of the line of the Bravo’ (the Rio Grande). When General Trevifio sent an agent to President Juarez, to discuss the present cattle troubles and to beg its discontinuance by prompt intervention, Juarez said, ‘I shall send a commander to the Rio Grande who has displayed his patriotism there years ago.”’ THE BLOODHOUND ON THE BORDER. To the chagrin of every decent Mexican the ap- ointment was made and the official sanction of the lexican government given to the bloody past. Juarez was atraid of the occupation of Mexican ter- ritory to enforce the payment of bonds given by him, years before, to raise money for his own uses, and his only remedy was to follow discarded obli- rations with a national insult. In meeting United tates oflicials Cortina never aigguised his in- dependence of the ordinary decent courtesies of life. Sent with despotic power to prevent raids, if he wished to, he set his bandits at work and en- riched himself with the nerds of the suffering Texan rancheros. The United States commander protested against this appointment, and the official documents were all forwarded with due representations as to the grave results to be looked for, No replv was deigned by the illiberal Indian, who remembered his unpaid bonds, EFFORTS FOR HIS PARDON. A conference of Americans with Cortina resulted in a proposal as to his Vaghper by the State of Texas, The wily robber offered to stop depredations if he was cleared of his count of indictments. He did hang one or two personal enemies, and the pardon ‘Was proposed in 1870 to the Governor of Texas. In this act he acknowledged the sovereignty of the State he has devastated. The Legislature declined to remove the blood stains trom that armed band, and even before the refusal his emissaries were at their old work. Superior to the local civil au- thorities, he overawed Palacios, the Commandant of Matamoros, and no check has been placed on his thieving. Sending his soldiers to receive the cattle at the river, he has pocketed the money foy the sale | of hides and fed his armies on the beet. INTERVIEW WITH COLONEL FORD. A singular feature of his wily game as to his par- don was an invitation to Coionel Ford to visit him at hiscamp. He wished to use the influence of his old opponent, whom he knew to be generous. Ford’s friends endeavord to dissuade him from a | visit to.a place where his life was not worth a pin head. The fearless ranger crossed the river and “interviewed” the bandit, whom he had beaten in three open fights. Cortina entertained his visitor, and used his influences in vain, the honest Texan telling him he would not move in the matter. Many friends who had sworn to revenge any injury to Ford breathed easier when his good gray head was seen safe on the Texan side again. Cortina is to-day in the quiet enjoyment of his dignity, and it remains for the United States government to either torce Mexico to remove him or to foot the long ac- count of years. It is idle to talk of quiet on the Rio Grande while this man, all powerful, looks at his long record of insults and indignities offered America, and smiles at the thought of his high offi- cial position sheltering him. PERSONAL INCIDENTS. Cortina’s undoubted bravery is exemplified by his conduct when on one occasion an émeute occurred in his camp. An aid had brought money to pay his | troops, A conspiracy was formed by forty of his | thieves to kill him and steal the money from his marquee, They opened fire on him, and in a des- perate melée he killed four of the offenders with his own hand, sending an officer known as Caballo Blanco in pursuit of the remainder, who were all killed in a summary vengeance. Illustrative of the | Rio Grande border life is the CAREER OF ‘PORTUGAL,’ THE BANDIT, Cortina’s deadly enemy—a man once Chief of Po- lice at Matamoros. This man, thirty-five years of age, a superb horseman and unequalled pistol shot, is devoid of fear. He was during his administra- | tion desirous of sending back stoien cattie and ren- | dering up to Texas the outlaws. On several occa- | sions, unaided, he pursued and killed or brought in | the offenders. On one occasion Juan Porres, a Mexican in the employ of two Americans, who were driving cattle to San Antonio, Texas, from Brownsville, attacked his employers while nem killing one and grievously wounding another. He robbed them and fled to Matamoros, A Texan sheriff was sent to Matamoros, Portugal offered his assistance in the capture of this offender, pur- sued him, and in single combat wounded him. ‘The man was brought before Cortina and released. Seeing that Portugal was not overawed by his influence, Cortina sent for him and ordered him to apprehend a certain Lupo, eae ae that the latter would kill the friend of the Americans. It was otherwise decreed, for the man was captured | by Portugal and brought in; Cortina, seeing that fate was against him, freed Lupo. Portugal | evinced his friendship for Americans in a defence of Mr. Robert Nelson's store at Matamoros, killing @ desperate robber. PLAY TO ASSASSINATE PORTUGAL. Cortina was determined to free himself of aman 80 dargerous to his ae schemes. Sending for Portugal he deposed him from his ofiice, and or- dared him to report at the police station at a cer- ‘ain time for an interview. Secret orders were given for the killing of Portugal, who, however, suspected the ruse, aud rode up on horseback. The new chief of police treacherousiy fired on the late incumbent, but was instantly killed bya return shot. Troops were at hand. Portugal rode across the square, defied Cortina im a loud voice to ap- pear, and waited, Attacked by 4 policeman, he shot him and escaped to Brownsville. A demand was made for him, but the United States District Court ruled that he could not be given up to a pri- vate vengeance, Desperate and burning for ven- geance, Portugal went back to the Mexican side, and has way awar against Cortina’s command, riding onge Ja a mpenificent At of recklessness be- | Soe a reaenent an eee, capture. in the dead oe has charged oop. and his ven- ih .

Kilburn went on and the rest in the sane order to the half-mile pole, where Kilburn tas away by three to four lengths, doing the half mile in 1:103g. On the turn Gazelle brushed past lu- cille, but could not hold her fourth, and all pasea the three-quarter pole as before. Kilburn just wat on as he pleased, and led home three lengths firt, Strideaway second, four lengths from Lucille, thirt, and Gazelle four lengths away from her. Jenne did not go for the heat.

On the turt Jennie, leading, broke badly and fell to last place This pace sent Kilburn to front, and he headed ai the quarter pole, in thirty-five seconds, by a length of Gazelle. Kilburn and Gazelle lapped all down the stretch to the half-mile pole in 1:10. Ona lap they, nearly head and head, made the turn and still yoked, She made the head of the home- stretch around the turn. Jennie having got at work drew and got third place.

The send-off put Gazelle in the front, with Kilburn second, Jennie last. A rush %arried them in this order to the quarter in thirty-five seconds, where Gazelle led two lengths from Kil- burn and he three lengths from Strideaway. Kil- burn got gradually up as they went to the stretch, and was at Gazelle’s wheel at the half-mile pole in 1:10. Here the race was so strong that it drove Kilburn off his feet, and he fell away along the stretch. Jennie had made a rush and had worked up to the leaders, Getting into the turn she passed Kilburn, still on a break, and at once caught Gazelle, and, striding with her a few rods, fronted and led around the turn lapped with Gazelle. The brush on to the stretch ended, Gazelle and Jennie drew away, and gradually dropped all till she landed first by three lengths in 2:2334, Gazelle next, ten lengths from Strideaway, and he six lengths from Kilburn, Fourth Heat.—The betting was now at 100 to 30 on Jennie. At the go-off Jennie led, Gazelle second, but on the turn she broke badly and dropped to last place, Gazelle went to the fore and had Kil- burn next, she making the quarter pole first by two lengths in 353g. This fronting she held on to the hall, in 1:11, with Kilburn second, three lengths away from Strideaway. Jennie got to herself soon, but was a dozen lengths back at the quarter. She drew up heap | and got to Strideaway on the first of the turn, cut him down and at the first of the homestretch got to Kilburn and shot past him. Coming on sweepingly she caught Gazelle ten rods from home, lapped and passed her in a trice, and went home first by two lengths, Time, 2:23%. Fifth Heat.—Jennie the favorite at any odds. She took the lead at the start, and was lapped at the quarter by Kilburn in 36, but drew away from him and opening the distance, made the half in 1:12, went on alone, and was first home in 2:24. Strideway on the far turn fell and was distanced; she was not seriously hurt. SUMMARY.

On the turn Fullerton left his feet and went wild for a dozen rods; Lula, making hot pace, led Derby ten lengths at the quarter pole in 33, and Derby Fullerton by as much, Mace, behind Fullerton, seeing his position, took it easy and did not go for the heat. Lula went along to the half-mile pole in 1:07, leading there fully fifteen lengths, and going at a good gait. ‘There was no change all aiong to the stretch, where Fullerton increased his pace somewhat and drew to Lula, but not ir, and Lula jogged home ten lengths first in 4, Fullerton second, passing Derby near the stand as Derby pulled up. Second Heat,—-Betting still in Fullerton's favor at 8to 1 against the field. There was great delay in scoring, and the spectators got furious at Green driving Luia. There were sixteen scorings before an off-go. Lula had the lead, Derby second. She broke at once, and Fullerton went to the lead, and heading, passed the quarter pole in , three lengths first. He entered on the stretch at moderate pace. Lula getting settled commenced a brush and going up rapidly caught Fullerton easily in the stretch, and getting to his head lay lapped with him all down the stretch to near the hali-mile pole, when the pace carried her to a break and left Fullerton to go alone past the half-mile pdle in 1:14s, leading quite four lengths.
