CAVALRY AT DEL RIO
TROOPS TASK DELICATE.
american Soldiers to Insure Neutral
ity uith Merico.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. !

Del Rio. Tex. June 30.-The Sd United States
Cavalry arrived here from Fort Sam Houston
late to-day, and after establishing headquar-
ters scouting parties were sent out tonight to
search for violstors Of the neutrality law. A
large number of Mexican revoutionists sup
posed to have sought refuge on this side of the
border, and are thought to be in hiding in the
chaparrai and upon the ranches. A vigorous
campaign is to be waged against them and
against the organization OF revolutionary
peditions against Mexico on United States soil.
The movement of the troops is directed by
Brigadier General Albert L. Myer.
Washington June 3O-American military
forces are now in service for the enforcement
OF the neutrality laws along the Mexican bor
der. General Myer, commanding the Depart
ment of Texas has reported to the War Depart
ment that four troops of cavalry have been sent
from posts in his department to Del Rio, op-
posite the State of Coahuila. As to other
points, he will be guided by his conferences
with the civil officials.
The employment Of American troops for this
purpose by the way, is almost without prece-
dent in recent years and the law officers Of the
War Department. well as the Attorney Gen
eral himself, have been obliged to give close
study to the question Of extent to which they
may exercise the power of preventing persons
entering the United States across the Mexican
border. Under the law no passports are re-
quired. except in the of Chinese and Japan
esq., and about the only other reasonable ground
for the detention of fugitives seeking to cross
the line would be some presumsble violation Of
the Immigration health inspection laws. So
1t will be a delicate task for the army officers
who are charged with the duty of policing this
International boundary line to avert clashes
with the civil courts If they undertake TO make
promiscuous arrests of persons fleeing from
Mexico into the United States.
Frequent conferences were held during the
day by the various officials of the State and
War departments, and Sefor Godoy, the Mexican
charge at Washington. also had thorough dis
cussion of the situation with Acting Secretary
of State Bacon. Attorney General Bonapsrte.

The Serious Side Of Wine Agent.
An extraordinarily interesting dis
cussion of the panic and kindred sub
jects appears in THE Interpreters

azine. Here Is one OF the true stories
told:
"a large steel company in the South
was controlled by group of flnan-
ciers who ran it successfully as q
business and even more successfully
rs speculation In the latter de-
partment of activity they were better
than they were as manufacturers.
Their process was simplicity itself.
They would sell their stock at n high
figure until they had got the money
of the bill Spectators and then they
would buy 1t back and run In" the
spectators for the decline. In this
way they managed to acquire n good
deal of spending money. A rival
steel company had long desired to buy
control of this corporation and make
a merger. but the owners declined all
propositions that might he called
reasonable The head of the group
that controlled the second company
was staid ana reputable banker of

day while he was sitting at his desl;
there entered a gent who had recently

employed by the makers OF cham

requirements of his art compel him

and California famous. humbly

AT any rate, this particularly success

better known in upper Broadway than
In the steel mills of Birmingham. But
he was rich and the banker received
him with politeness. The wine man
