the country either above or below the
city along the Rio Grarde and will eXer-
else every precaution to prevent violation
of neutrality laws. One effect of the
run.ors of overt acts committed by the
revolutions at points throughout the re-
public is to prevent many persons who
are en- route to Mexico from crossing the
border
Laredo hotels and boarding houses are
now filled with people who had started TO
Mexico from all parts Of the United
States, but who on reaching the frontier
have considered it desirable to await the
time when times are more settled before
continuing their journey.
Reports which were current last, night
in Gomez Palacio and Torreon, Mexico.
are in part confirmed by Mexican officials
and army officers stationed in Neuveo La
redo, although it is denied that the battle
assumed serious proportions. 1t is adj
mitted that in battles between the insur-
rectionists and the Mexican troops at
both places several deaths resulted the
loss on both sides being evenly divided.
1t is generally understood that the gov
eminent forces succeeded in quelling the
disturbances at both places. Reports
current yesterday were to the effect that
Torreon had fallen into the hands of the
Revolutionists
This is denied by army officers in Neu-
veo Laredo, who claim to be in touch
with the situation as far as points in
northern Mexico are concerned.
The army officers admit that the most
bitter struggle occurred at Gomez Pala-
clio, which is only four miles north of
TOrreon, in the famous Laguana cotton
district. At Gomez Palacio it is acknowl-
edged several deaths on both sides oc-
CURED, but the officials decline to give
out any figures. It can be stated on good
authority that the Mexican government
has Gordon of troops extending from n
point below Laredo to Colombia, IS miles
up the Rio Grande on the Mexican side.
These troops have been instructed to keep
a close watch for Francisco I. Madero,
who is believed to be in the neighborhood
of Colombia. his family being large land
owners not far from that point which is
regarded by the Mexican government Of
ficials as a hotbed of insurrection.
The Mexican and American army Off

the situation assuming more serious pro-
portions along the border, and confer
