SAYS RAID EES AB.E HUIBTISTAS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. General
Fun it on reported today thit he had
rent a battalion of the Ninth Infantry
from Laredo to BrownSTllle, Tel. He
made no request, however, for addi
tional troops. "
War department officials would
not discuss reports that secret or
ganizers In Texas were aligning
Mexicans under the "plan of San
Diego." Whether General Funston
has communicated these reports was
not disclosed. It was apparent,
however, that he had decided to con- j
centrate a considerable force In the
Brownsville district, where the
trouble appears to center.
Kara Raiders Art Haarttataa.
BROWKSVILUC, Tex., Aug. IZ-After
passing a quiet night, tha lower Rio
Orands valley today watched for results
of tha sending of mors troops Into this
wtton.
General K P. Xafarette. Carraiisa
commander at Matamnras, todar denied
that a thousand of hla men could enttr
Texas to lixita uprising against the
Americana, and gave for his reason that
ha has had onljr W, men between AiW
mus and tha month of tha Rio Grand".
Ifa charsts that the brigandage In
Texan U rauaed by Kuerta followers !n
anticipation of Carransa's recognition by
tha t'nlted States, and expresses his will
ingness to co-operal with A median
authorltlea in capturing and returning
to tha United flutes any bandits who
may croas Into Mexico.
Three Hare Mestoawa Killed.
Three more Mexican outlaw were
today added to tha lint of killed In battle
near Mercedes, Hidalgo eounty. It was
not reiorted whether soldiers, county of
ficers or rangers were in th fight Of
ficers have adopted a policy of refusing
to give details of fights In which they
were concerned. This is said to ac
count for the lark of confirmation of a
report that eight other Mexican bandits
were klued In Hidalgo county since Fri
ll ay.
Cltlsena of Brownsville and other bot
tler cltlea do not agree that the trouble!
were due to political feuds in thla section.
Considerate evidence seemed to be
brought forward that the raiders were
organised Into several hands working un
der the plan of San !logo. a movement
started: a year ago at Ban Iego, Tex.,
where reaolut'.ons were passed declaring
for wresting from the United States a
strip of territory along the bcider to be
added to Mexico.
Zaae at Operatloaa Wldeas.
The sone of the operations of the raid
era waa widened to a large extent In the
laat twenty-four hours, although few ad
ditional reports of the depredations
reached here. The tateat meeting of the
raiders with troops was reported from
Katherlne, eighty miles north of ilrowns
, (lle. where a band of thirty or mora
Mexicans attempted a daring raid on the
' one store of the town. They were frus
trated In tha attempt by a 6osen Unite
htatee soldiers stationed in the store,
who fired oa the bandits, ' Injuring two.
It was beiieved. No report came of
f urther kililng since those of Monday,
alien ten persons wore ahot and killed,
Confirmation was lacking early today
of reports that soldiers in considerable
numbers were c rotting the border from
Mexico to Join the alleged revnlutlonary
movement, although Governor Ferguson,
in hta appeal to tne president, doclared
"that any unusual occurrence now would
cause a disastrous Invasion of Texas
from Mexico." That a "reign of terror"
existed on the border was the declaration
of tho governor.

Rleutherlos Venlsialos, former premier of

timing Former Yean.
MANY BUYERS ABE EXPECTED
The Union Stock Tarda company la
putting the finishing touches on the new
cattle pens covering four Nocks of ground
so ss to be in readiness to take care of
the big cattle receipts expected this fall
when the range shipping season will be
at Its height. ,
This week marks the real beginning
of the rarge cattle seaoon at the stock
yards. A few scattering trains of grass
rattle have been coming forward from
as fsr west ss California and Oregon,
but the big range states. Wyoming. Colo
rado, Montana, western Nebraska and
Boiuth Dakota, are just beginning a
movement of cattle that will not end
until late In November.
A good many big ranch men have ac
companied their shipments to Omaha this
week ami the reports that they bring la
fully confirm earlier advloea from the
range country, all of them pointing to
ward conditions the most satisfactory in
many years.
Feed at Its Beat.
Never before since the earliest days of
the range cattle business has feed on
the range been so good. There Is more
grass than the cattle can eat and It goes
wlthout saying that stock everywhere
east of the mountains bse been taking
on flesh rapidly. While the grass has
been almost too rank and green to make
the best beef. It must cure up aa the
season advances and In the end a large
supply of good fat range cattle Is an
ticipated. While the total run from the range Is
not expected to be any larger than tast
year, the Omaha market, which has been
steadily gaining In popularity, expects
lfllS X show a good gain over all pre
vious years. It Is also anticipated that
there will be a very liberal supply ot
stocker and feeder cattle In addition to
the fat stock, not only from the range,
but also from the western farming states,
ftood Prices Bxpeeteal.
As to prices, all stockmen agree that
the outlook Is very encouraging to pro
ducers. As a matter of course a greai
deal will depend upon the corn crop,
but thus far there has been nothing to
change the belief that there will be
worlds of feed In the country this fall
and winter.
With a good corn crop It is agreed
among stockmen generally that the de
mand for stockers and feeders as well
as for beef, will be active and that good
prices will prevail throughout the sea
son. It Is safe to say that there has
been no time In recent years when stock
men were In a more hopeful frame- of
mind than at present.
Friends of the Omaha market are very
much elated over the splendid outlook
for business at thla point Chicago and
other eastern markets are under quar
antine on account ot the foot and mouth
disease and are not allowed to ship out
to the country stockers or feeders. That
means that buyers of such cattle, who.
In yeare gone by, have been In the habit
of securing supplies of stock at ouch
points, will be forced this year to come
to the Missouri river for their stock.'
Maay Bayers Exevcted. . .
As live stock from the northern and
western states, which comes to Omaha, Is
better bred than that from the southern
and aouthwestern states, It Is expected
that many buyers will come to Omaha.
In addition to sending buyers here the
foot and mouth situation In the east
la also expected to send more cattle
here, for the reason that It shipped to
market points under quarantine, the cat
tle, even though not carrying sufficient
I flesh to make good beef, can not be
sold for feeders to be sent back to the
country to be fattened. They can be
sold only for slaughter, which mean that
they will go for canners at caaner price a,
which is a good deal less than the same
cattle would bring on an open market
for feeders.
. The sheep market, it la asserted, Is if
anything more promising than the cattle
market Every man who feeds sheep or
lambs last year made plenty of money
and with a good corn' crop stockmen pre
dict that this fail will witness the best
and biggest demand ever experienced
for feeder sheep and lamba. Already the
demand at the Omaha market is ua
usually large for this early In the sea
son and prices are higher thaa ever
before known In August. Feeder eheep
buyers, like cattle buyers, will be forced,
to come to the Missouri river for sue-'
you an agency? Have you a policy!

MEXICAN NOTE B
SIGNED BY WILSON
(Continued from Page One.)
received here today by Juan T. Uurna, hla
consular egaat
Another sablegram from Jesus Acuna,
Carransa's minister of foreign relations,
denies that there have been any anti
foreign demonstrations In Vera Crux, but
admlta that a subordinate official made a
speech the other day In which the peace
conference participated In by the United
States and Latin-American countries was
sharply criticised. This speech was
denounced by higher officials, the dis
patch says.
Regarding the expulsion of Juan Or
tega, the Ouatemalan minister to Mex
lea. the report says:
"The constitutionalists .. have never
recognised any diplomats accredited to
former governments. Ortega waa expelled
under article No. S3, as a pernicious
foreigner. It Is specifically charged that
he, as an Individual, took aides with the
Zapatistas an dalso that President
Cabrera of Guatemala encouraged re
volts In Mexico on his border.
Cemsaeat ef Brasilia Press.
RIO JANEIRO, Aug. ll-The efforts ot
the Pan-American republics to settle the
Mexican problem are being followed with
keen Interest The national chamber ap
proved a motion asking the Braslllan for
eign office for Information aa soon aa
possible regarding the state of negotia
tions. The newspapers continue to em
phasise that no attack la contemplated
upon the sovereignity of Mexico.
The semi-official Gaseta do Noticiaa
finds fault with those who, pledging
themselves In the beginning against for
mal action come later to support the
leanings of the United States toward im
perialism. "In truth," It says, "South America Is
not in sympathy with Intervention In the
Internal affairs of Mexico. But the solu
tion already reached by the conference
at Washington seems to be to present a
conciliation candidate tor the presidency
of the republic The only difficulty will
be to obtain from the rival factions ac
ceptance of a candidate who If presented
Is not forced upon them by America."

Bulgaria Holds
Key to Situation
in tho Balkans
ROME, Aug. ll.-(Vla Paris. Aug. ll
'The key to the Balkan situation is
not at Kiah or Athens, but at Bofla," said
M. Ristltch, Serbian minister to Italy,
In an Interview published In the Trlbunla.
Bulgaria does not wish to move. It
makes Impossible proposals to the quad
ruple entente and thus gains time with
out declaring Itself.
,"If Ferbla gave Bulgaria not ord a
portion of Macedonia, but Belgrade itself,
Bulgaria would still find some excuse
for not moving. The only way to clear
the Balkan skies is for Oermanr to make
a serious attack on Serbia. As it would
be necessary to make thla attack on
the ' Danube, near Orsowa, Roumania
would be obliged to come forward to
prevent Itself from betng cut off from
the rest of Europe. If Roumania moves.
Bulgaria wUI be obliged to decide one
way or the other."
