they had captured twenty men be
lieved to have been engaged in the at
tack on the American camp.
May Call More Guardsmen.
Practically all available regulars of
the United States army, including
many coast artillery men, already are
on the border or in Mexico and the
National guards of Texas, Arizona
1 and New Mexico are in service for
patrol duty. The guardsmen of other
states were notified some weeks ago
to be prepared to respond if it should
become necessary to call them out.
It was learned today that consider
able correspondence has been ex
changed between the department and
the governors and adjutants general
of various states relative to the new
status given the guardsmen under the
Hay-Chamberlain army organization
bill, which becomes effective July 1.
The messages are presumed to have
caused recurrent reports that the en
t tire force of the National guard was
being prepared for active service.
Mexican embassy officials said they
t had not been informed of any mes
sage sent by Trevino and that ex
amination of what purported to be the
text of the warning was sufficient
proof that it either was a badly
garbled translation or a fabrication.
Funston Ready to Act.
San Antonio June 17. General
Funston and his staff gave careful at
tention today to the activities of out
law bands along the Mexican Dorder,
but far greater interest" was displayed
in the attitude being assumed by the
trooos of the de facto government.
- General Parker at Brownsville,
Texas, made a brief report of the lat
est manifestation of outlawry, near
San Benito, and General Mann re
ported the continuation of the search
for bandits that raided the cavalry
camp at San Ignacio, but it was evi
dent at department headquarters that
greater significance was attached to
the doings ot Carranza s troops than
to those of the bandit leaders.
General Ricaut's warning that the
crossing of the international bound
ary by any American troops for any
cause whatever would be regarded as
an overt act, and would be the cause
for an attack by the de facto govern
ment troops, did not disturb General
Funston or his staff. The search for
bandits will continue and whenever a
hot trail is found leading into Mexr

Hughes Prepares
To Move Family
To Slimmer Home
Washington. June 17. Charles K.
Hughes, republican presidential can
didate, spent most of today making
States soldiers near San Benito last
night.
Soon after reports were received
that bandits appeared near San Be
nito, several detachments of umops
were gotten ready to deal with them.
Motor cars were commandeered in ac
cordance with prearranged plans and
two companies of the Twenty-sixth
infantry were dispatched from Har
lingcn to Olmito, ten miles north of
Brownsville, with orders to cm oil
the bandits' retreat across the Kio
Grande into Mexico. Meanwhile, an
other force of two comnanies of in
fantry sent from San Benito earlier I preparations lor. moving his family

car himselt.
His tirst callers were the newspaper
men. He declined to say whether he
had seen the statement made by
George W. Perkins in New York last
night regarding negotiations for the
restoration of good feeling between
progressives and republicans.
Callers who had engagements in
cluded Representative W. I). Stephens
and Senator John D. Weeks, both of
California.
Representative Stephens said he
wanted to' congratulate Mr. Hughes
and give promises of his support. He
said he proposed to register as a re
publican when he went home.
Bridgehanipton, N. Y., June 17.
Charles K. Hughes, republican candi
date for president, has rented a cot
tage here for the month of July, it
was learned today. Bridgehanipton
is in Suffolk county, Long Island, on
the south shore. The cottage is
known as "Prenedden" and overlooks
the Atlantic ocean.
It is belfeved that Mrs. Finley Shep
ard, the former Helen Miller Gould,
is about to adopt two children, a byo
and girl, to keep Finley J. Shepard,
jr., known as "John Doe 104," before
his adoption by Mr. and Mrs. Shep
ard, company. Helen "Doe" and
Louis "Doe," who are now on proba
tion at Lyndhurst, the Shepard estate
at Irvington on-the-Hudson, may
soon be known as Helen, and Louis
Shepard.
co, the Americans will not hesitate to
follow it. The officers in charge of
the border have authority to cross
the border without waiting for Spe
cial instructions.
Hear Declaration of War.
General Funston's army of almost
50,000 has been so disposed along the
Mexican border that swift punitive ac
tion could be taken. General Tre
vino's threat to attack General Persh
ing if the American troops move east
or west or south was regarded by
army officers here as little less than
a declaration of hostilities by the
Mexicans, since it may be necessary
at any time for the leader of the big
punitive expedition to send small de
tachments in pursuit of outlaw bands.
Precautions taken by General Bell
at El Paso last night ia holding all
the American troops ready for action,
were similar to those taken at every
border point opposite which there
was any considerable number of Car
ranza troops. General Greene at
Eagle Pass and General Mann at
Laredo also prepared to move quick
ly in case of eventualities, but at those
points less activity on the Mexican
side of the river was displayed.
The garrison at Eagle Pass was
strengthened last night by the arrival
of the Thirtieth infantry. Three com
panies of the coast artillery, now on
their way south, will go directly to
Laredo. If the request of General
Funston for more militia his request
has never been withdrawn is
granted, the state troops will be di
vided along the border stations.
The arrival at Laredo today of
Philip Hanna, consul general at Mon
terey, developed the fact that tfe
State department ordered both him
and J. R. Silliman, consul at Saltillo,
to the American side of the river. The
withdrawal of these two consular of
ficers will leave the American gov
ernment with no consular representa
tives at interior points in Mexico, ex
cept an agent at Mexico City.
Carranza Troops Move Northward.
Laredo, Tex., June 13. Due prob
ably to the vigilance of Texas rang
ers and the military patrol, the report
ed raid of Mexican bandits at Islitas,
twenty-five miles northwest of here,
eafly this morning, did not material
ize, according to reports to General
Mann, commanding the border patrol
here.
A well-informed Mexican arriving
here from the interior of Mexico con
firms reports that more than 5,000
Carranza troops have passed Villal
dama, 110 miles south of Laredo, go.
ing northward. He said the soldiers
were spread out in moderate sized
detachments.
Traffic across the international
bridge between Laredo and Neuvo
Laredo has noticeably diminished.
Americans no longer pass the night
in Meuvo Laredo and only the more
daring pass to that city during the
day.
Hot Trail Near Brownsville.
Brownsville, Tex., June 17. It was
reported to army headquarters here
today that a troop of the Third cav
alry under Lieutenant A. D. New
mans had struck a hot trail of Mexi
can bandits north of Brownsville.
These bandits were supposed to have

took place, in which, according
meager reports available here early
today, three Mexicans were killed,
while the American force suffered no
casualties.
In addition to these two forces a
troop of cavalry was dispaicbed when
reports came that another bandit
force had appeared near the Fresnos
Tract, fourteen miles north of
Brownsville, and had robbed a Mexi
can farmer of his horses. The man
escaped unharmed and reported the
occurrence to Fort Brown, from
where the cavalry was sent.
Bonorden Turns
The Carrier Pigeons
Loose at Right Time
Paul Bonorden, citv passenger
agent of the Great Western, arose at
4 yesterday morning. Never but
once did he arise at that unsemly
hour, and that was the day when he
was to catch a train to be married.
The cause of Bonorden's carlv ris
ing was to release a crate of carrier
pigeons that they might start on their
homeward flight to St. Charles, III.
Friday afternoon Louis Schelstreet of
St. Charles sent Bonorden twenty
four carrier pigeons, with the request
that they be released at 4:30 o'clock.
They were released on time at the
union station, and after flvine around
for a couple of minutes settled down
in the north driveway, where for a
short time they picked up grain. Then
they arose, circled around the passen
ger yards and at 4:45 o'clock, all in a
bunch, started east, going as straight
as an arrow. After they made their
start, inside of three minutes thev
were out of sight.
