a considerable quantity Of military stores and
supplies.

ed 300 troops to march to Bent's Fort, and to
meet Spier's company on the prairies and con-
duct it into Santa Fe. This was the company
that was said to have taken quantity of arms
and ammunition to Santa Fe, and in pursuit
of which Col. Kearney had sent the United
States dragons. Mr.. Bransford states that 1t
would be impossible for the dragons TO over
take them before they would arrive at Santa

-6dently, that before that time Benps Fort
would be in possession Of the Mexicaps He
