WILL REINFORCE
BORDER GARRISONS
United States and Mexico to Co-Oper
ate in Effort to Put Stop to
Outlaw Raids.

Washington, July 15.-Ambassador
Creel, of Mexico, who was in confer
ence yesterday with Acting Secretary
of State Bacon, regarding the alleged
violation OF the neutrality law along
the Mexican border was given again
the most positive assurance of the
intentions of this government to prose.
cute all neutrality offenders. An in.
crease of the army posts on the border
is possible as Mexico already has in-
dicated her intention of adding to the
number she already has.
There are several army posts along
the border between Mexico, Texas and
Arizona. Four of these are garri
soned viz: Huachuca, Arizona, and
Bliss, Clark, and Mcintosh, Texas.
The remaining three are forts Dun
can, Ringgold and Brown, now in the
hands of caretakers.
If necessary to insure strict COM
pliance with the neutrality laws and
prevent the operations of migratory
parties into Mexico, these three posts
also will be garrisoned, the troops
in all probability being taken from
some of the nearby posts.

this afternoon when Voight, one Of the
runners upon whom England was de-
pending to maintain her superiority

the best performance of the day, that
honor being reserved for Sweden

won the iavelin throwing contest,
breaking his own record by three feet
and one one-half inches.
The final heat in the three-mile team

LOWER CALIFORNIA
FOR UNITED STATES
Believed That Administration Has
Concluded Deal With President
Daz For Peninsula.

Los Angeles, Calf, July 15--That
Lower California Is to become the tor.
ritory of the United States within a
year Is the firm belief Of many Amer.
lcan residents of the peninsula who
have followed the recent trend of ne.
gotiations between the two nations
According to William H. Michaelsou
and j. H. Sorenson, two wealthy salt
mine operators OF the peninsula. who
recently came here for supplies. the
deal now on between the gOvernm ants
Of the United States and Mexico con.
templates the discovery by Mexico If
the fact that mistake was mad in
the survey of the boundary line he
tween what is now California and the
peninsula of Lower California.
Ever since Secretary Root visited
the City of Mexico last fall Presiden.
Diaz had been trying to find a way 10
cede the peninsula to the United
States. The constitution Of Mexico
makes it high treason for any officer
of the Mexican government to even
suggest the sale of Mexican territory
to a foreign power. 1t has therefore
been decided, it is said on good au.
thority, to find on the part Of Mexico
that the boundary survey is wrong.
This will permit the cession of the en-
tire peninsula to the United States and
incidentally, it is said, enrich Diaz
and his governments officials to the
tune of some slO,0OO,O0O. United
States currency. The progress of fu.
ture negotiations between the two
governments will be watched with in.
tense interest by all American resi-
dents of the peninsula.
