ARMY OFFICERS GUARDING
 BORDER
Thick from Texas to California, Fearing Another Outbreak Like That of Last Year Against Diaz.

United States army officers have for the past month been numerous along the Mexican border all the way from east Texas to California. They have been along the border on a secret mis- sion and Douglas was visited by one of these West Pointers, Captain Scott. A Washington dispatch gives the in- formation that these officers are mak. ing tour of border points in order to ascertain if there is any probabili- ty of an outbreak among the MeXi- cans along the border aimed at the DiaZ government of Mexico.
 To pTeYent'a recurrence of the trOu- bles of last year about this time when numerous arrests were made here the Mexican border is being patrOlled by troops, and secret officials of the American government, at the request of the Mexican officials. are investi- gating the condition of the Nexicans in the American towns along the bOT- der. Officials of the United States government decline to make any statements but dispatches from San Antonio recently stated that a detail of troops had been made to patrol the border till after the Mexican Celebra- ton and it is now learned officially that an order for such an assignment was promulgated from the department of Texas headquarters at San An tonic.

The consul does not believe these men are at all dan gerous and says that most of them are criminals who have had to flee from Mexico. The consul does not ap- prehend any trouble, but that his gov ernment is al least annoyed by these so-called TevoIutionists is borne out by the fact that it requested the Unit ed States government to make the in Esstigation and that such an invesu gation was mada-
 Ambassador Greet is said to have laid before the United States authori- ties the matter. of the investigation, at which time, it is stated. he called at tention to the fact that a year ago several organizations prOpagated their revolutionary doctrines on American soil and were not molested and that they actually made one raid over the border and for a time were in poses l
