prehension Felt.
BLOW NOT YET BEEN STRUCK
Authorities Keep UpVigilance,
But Many Arms Are
Being Sold.
REVOLUTION PREDICTED SOON

Galveston, Tex, Nov. 20.-Nearly
1000 Mexicsns are known to have
crossed the border into Mexico last
night and to-day, confirming the ru-
mors that the revolutionary party is
carrying out we'll defined plans in the
movement against the present ad-
ministration. Many of these men,
unarmed, crossed the Rio Grande
through the regular gateways, Ell
Paso, Laredo. Brownsville and Ea-
gle Pass, for there is no law against
Mexicans returning to their own
country, but many others, carrying
arms. passed over at isolated points,
where the river is low.
One party of ten, carrying supply
of guns and ammunition, evaded the
American officers on the border and
got into Mexico Friday night, Sc
creting themselves until Saturday
night, when they attempted to con-
tinue their journey inland. They
were detected and pursued by ru-
rales for distance of several miles,
and all but three were captured with
the guns and ammunition.
= Authorities are Alert.
San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 20.-Sun-
day although a day of suspense along
the Mexican border, passed quietly
Reports received by the agents of the
federal government here are to the
effect no outbreaks occurred at any
point along the Rio Grande.
The condition prevailing was prob
ably due to the alertness of both the
Mexican and the United States Gov
ernments. Mexico is massing troops
on the border. Reinforcements ar
rived at Matamoras, Nuevo Laredo,
Cuidad Porfirio Diaz and Jaurez to-
day. There is now regiment IN
each of these border cities.
The anxiety of the American Gov
eminent was shown by the fact that
four troops of cavalry were ordered
out from Fort Clark to assist in pre-
venting arms being struggled into
Mexico or revolutionary bands slip
ping across.
All of the border hardware stores
report they have entirely sold out
their stock of high-power rifles.
Practically all the available ammu-
milton has been bought up by Mexi-
cans.
There is no doubt of the great un-
rest among the Mexican people, and
it is believed only the most vigorous
measures will be able to prevent a
revolution getting on foot within the
next ten days.
Report Fight at Guerrero.
Laredo, Tex, Nov. 2O,-Fighting
occurred at Guerrero, Mexico, to-day.
Reports reaching Laredo are that an

whether there were any casualties.

Cotulla, Texas, IN a western direc-
ton, and is in the district in which
the Madero estates are lovated.
Blow Not Yet Struck.
City of Mexico, Nov. 2O.-The in
surrection which was said to have

materialize. Special dispatches re-

throughout the republic stated that
everything had been quiet all day.
No bull fights were allowed to take
place in the City of Mexico to-day,
and there we're no large gatherings
of any kind in any section of the
capital. Soldiers and police patroll-
ed the streets all day.
Americans Are I'm Peril.
washington, Nov. 20.-Informa-
ton coming from Mexico indicates
that Americans in that country arei
in more danger than is generally
thought. In advocating violence to-
ward Americans some of the Mexican
factions hope to curry favor with the
fighting masses and an extremely
violent sentiment is being engender-.
