ALL FAKE STORIES
 ON REVOLUTION
In Mexico Sent From Texas By Irresponsible Parties With
 Axes to Grind.

SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 2.-Some un- necessary irritation has been created between Texas and Mexico by wholly erroneous reports of revolutionary movements starting in Texas agairsL Mexico. These reports emanate from two sources, irresponsible newspaper correspondents trying to fill up spacs and certain secret agents who are be ing paid to furinsh information and feel that they must furnish some kind of information to earn their pay. As an example, persistent reports of a few weeks ago were sent to Washing ton City, Mexico City, as we'll as to various newspapers throughout Iae country, of an armed filibusteTing ex- petition leaving the little town of HeIotes in the mountains about thirty miles to the north of this city. This report neglected to say that within ten miles of Holotes General Albert Meyer, with 10000 regular and volUn- teer soldiers, was in camp, and the fiIibusters would have to pass this ar my to get into Mexico Every Few
 days a fresh scare story is hatched al
 some remote place and sent out to amuse the public. As 2 matter Of fact. except for some Irresponsible talking. there is no revolutionary movement in Texas against Mexico, and none would be tolerated for a day
