Reports say a battle occurred eleven miles north of Brownsville involving a band of Mexicans and a US detachment, with a trestle set afire and a Mexican band possibly from the Texas side. Special troops from Brownsville Harlingen and San Benito rushed to the scene, while Americans traveling to San Benito reported gunfire from a group of 25 to 30 Mexicans. The trestle burned after a midnight train passed, suggesting the band aimed to avoid jeopardizing the train. Additional dispatches note Carranza garrisons revolted at Frontero and San Juan Bautista, with officials fleeing to Vera Cruz. The Vera Cruz to Mexico City railroad was cut on August 28 but the main line stayed open. A Brownsville army airplane near the Rio Grande came under fire from Mexican shooters, though the aircraft was not struck.
