BROWNSVILLE, Tex., March ' 31.
Three batteries of United States Third
field artillery arrived here today to be
ready If necessary to protect Browns

Major General Frederick Funston, sent
here by the War department to see that
the American border is not violated, ex
pressed himself as pleased at the prompt
movement of the artillery. It entrained
In San Antonio yesterday.
Matamoros was quiet ear)ystoday with
no indications when the Villa troops
would begin the attack, which has caused
fear of risk to Brownsville through rifle
or cannon fire,
During the night two skirmishes were
heard at widely separated points. One
of these indicated that Villa forces have
penetrated to the river front below Mata
moros, thereby cutting the city off and
establishing from the Mexican side a
nominal state of siege. This line is too
long and the VUla troops are too few
to make such a blockade very effective
at present.
