nardo Reyes is coming" That is the
whisper that has gone with telegraph
ic swiftness up and down the Rio
Grande If this is true and many
Mexicans assert it is, it means that
the revolutionists have at their head
man superior in military training
to any other man in Mexico, not even
excepting President Diaz himself.
Plotting Downfall Of Reyes.

yes was once the business friend of
President Diaz. He is now said to be
an exile from his country. He was
sent a year ago to Paris on mill
tary mission" Since then no word
has come from him until today when
caution words were sent from Mata-
moros to Las Vacas. 1t was reported
among the Mexicans that he viii
reach Eagle Pass within ten days. Re
yes, was governor of Nuevo Leon, that
hot bed of revolution in Mexico. Dur
ing the last campaign for President
in Mexico, some of his admirers pro-
posed his name as vice-president.

plotting his downfall. Theaadherence

now foot lose and has a strong follow
ing in all parts of the Republic.

per Paix which has been publishing
violent and incendiary articles against

the border and other officials, that the
United States government is doing ev'
erything possible to prevent violations
of the neutrality laws. 1t is said at
the war department that General Hoyt
in command of the department OF
Texas, has received no instructions
from the department for the disposi-
ton of his forces but is simply acting
under the departments injunction to
rigidly execute the provisions of the
neutrality laws. 1t is believed that
the federal troops in Texas will be
ample to meet any emergency, along
the border. The soldiers available for
the immediate service are stationed
at the following points: Ten troops Of
the Third cavalry, the entire regiment
of the Twenty-second Infantry and
three batteries of the Third field ar
tillery at Fort Sam Houston. A bat
