Added pre cautions have been taken by the mili tary authorities to prevent any out; breaks on this side of the line in the , event of hostilities. General Calles' entire force in Son' ora is estimated at from 16,000 to 20,000 men, mostly infantry. The larg er part of the army is in central and southern sonora engaged in tne la qui Indian campaign. Promises of Safe Escort Consul Lelevier reiterated today that General Calles has given his personal guarantee of safe escort to the border to all foreigners desiring to leave the country. Eighten hundred de facto Mexicab cavalrymen who have been camped for two-months at Cuchuta, . thirty-five miles south of here on the Nacozari railroad, started eastward today to- ward Carretas Pass, through which they could gain access to Chihuahua, according to Americans arriving from the south.. Colonel Gabriel Jimenez is reported in command. It is said officially in Agua Prieta that these troops are going to Naco zari, but men who say they met them on the road say they were traveling away from IMacozan, riding southeast instead of south. . The first'. Arizona volunteers were inspected and addressed today by Governor George W. P. Hunt of Ari zona and Adjutant General Charles W. Harris at their camp here. Unconfirmed rumors of demonstra tions to be held in several of the larg' er towns of Sonora, against American occupation increased local uneasiness tonight ... Mexicans Drilling. El Paso, Tex., Tune 18. About three score Mexicans reported Juarez "plaza this evening in response to a call to citizens to receive military instructions that they might be ore pared to repel invasion in the event there should - be-a break with the United States. The Mexicans organ ized a civil guard, went through a few perfunctory military movements and went to their homes without further demonstration. Numerous rumors were current in El Paso today that secret organiza tion are being formed in Juarez whose members are pledged to take up arms in the event of American intervention, but these were not confirmed by Mex ican officials. . Excitement Abated, . Excitement manifest in El Paso last night and early today apparently had abated early tonight with the realiza tion that every preparation has:, been made to protect the city in even the remote region's.,. ' No anti-American demonstrations will be allowed ;in -Juarez by General rrancisco Oonzales, acting comman der of northern Chihuahua, This state ment was made by him today to a small delegation of Mexicans who called to see him in regard to holding a meeting of protest against the pres ence -ot American troops. Oeneral Gonzales later said that Juarez would remain quiet so long as he was in con trol, speech making, agitators or others actuated by aggressive pur poses would be promptly arrested he aaaea. . .. Arms Distributed. Laredo, Tex., Tune 18. Arms and ammunition were distributed to citi zens in Nuevo Laredo, opposite here tonight by constitutionalist leaders for use, it was said in the event of a break in relations between the United States and Mexico, in order to have the citizens prepared for service in the army.

Wheat Takes Fall - ' Clear to Bottom . , . Grain prices on the Omaha market, as elsewhere, continued to, decline wheat being the heaviest loser, it dropping off 1 to 3 cents. And in this mnection, dealers generally assert that the bottom has not been reached. They say that with the elevators of the country filled to bursting, the for eign demand pracically cut off and the prospects favorable for the great est wheat crop the country has ever raised, there can be but little hope for higher prices in the near future. ; With fifty-nine cars of wheat re ceived, the sales were made at 86 and 93 cents for cash and the July op tion selling but little above $1 per bushel. For July this was the lowest price touched since the option became a trading proposition last fall, .- Corn lost but not so much as wheat The prices were one-half to a cent and a half off, selling at 66 and 73 cents per bushel. The receipts were thirty-seven car loads. Oats were down one-fourth to one' half cent selling at 35K and 36'A cents per bushel. Receipts were six teen car loads. Durum wheat that a year ago now was. selling around $LS0 per bushel, has dropped down around 70 cents, due to. the fact that the " embargo shipments on account of the war has practically' cat out all export ship-' ments and the home demand is not sufficient to use up the supply. . Dreadful Csuih Cared. "Followtoe. n attack of pneumonia I bad four jean azoi I had a dreadful coach that ' Buns on for souths," wrrtaa Mra. Ova Caruthara, Wahaah, lad.

Byram Fears That Cars Will Be Scarce Again This Fall (Prom a Staff CatTB.nAnd.nt.1 Lincoln, June 18. (Special.) Vice President H. E. Byram of the Bur lington railroad called on the State Railway commission today. The visit of Mr. Bvram was a so cial one so far as anybody was able to discover, but he did say that the prospects this year were such that the car shortage would be a greater prob lem to handle than in any previous years.
