WASHINGTON. Nov q i--Bclated tele.
grams reaching the state department from
its officials ia Mexico mention various re-
voluuonary disturbances at different points
in that country. but all agree in one re-
spect-that the Diaz government IS strong
enough TO reprcss tho revomtionlsts,
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson tcls-
graphed the department under saturdays
date that he had been Informed by the
Mexican government that there were
revolutionary outbreaks at Puehla a=d
juarez and that the government apparently
had the situation under control The news
paper PaiN has been publishing violent
and inceudiary articles. the ambassador
said, and II probably would be suppressed
American Consul Ellsworth OF Ciudad
POrfirio Dias crossed the Rfo Graude to
reach American telegraph office yester.
day and wired the State department that
there was considerable unrest along the
border but thai the situation on the Amer
lean side of the line wns under control
Mr. Ellsworth is cooperating with the
Mexican officials in the effort 20 discover
and thwart the attempts OF military ex-
petitions organized on the Texas side Of
the line from crossing the border into
Mexico
1t is evident from tho activity OF Ameri-
can consus near the Mexican border and
other officials that the tnitcd states gov
ernment is doing everything possible TO
prevent violations of the neutrality laws
Primarily this duty devolves on the De-
partment OF Justice. which is acting
through it's marshas and sherrfs and
secret service agencies. Tho United states
district attorneys are also charged to make
-.
illegal expeditions forming in United states
territory.
Watching Alleged Lender.
In the case of Francisco Madero the al
legged head Of the present uprising, who is
reported in the newspapers TO have been
buying horses in Texas and 70 have crossed
the border line into Mexico the OFFICIALS
arc not clear ttat thes.S has,. any legal

established that he has been guilty under
the neutrality laws OF organizing a milf
tary expedition.
The mere accumulation of arms and am
munition on the Texas side Of the line Is
not in itself sufficient TO warrant their
seizure unless it is clearly manifest that
they We're part Of the tools of an Illegal
expedition.
Apparently the Mexican government is
highly Rppreoiative OF the efforts OF our
government to meet its full obligations
under international law, and Il is notice
able that Americans who get into trouble
in Mexico are being treated with the great
est lenienoy.
1t is said at the War department that
General Hoyt, In command of the Depart
ment Of Texas. has received no instruc-
| tions from the department for the disposi-
ton OF his forces, but Is simply acting

law.
! II is believed the federal troops in Texas
are ample to meet any emergency that may
arise along the border line. The soldiers
available for immediate service are sta
toned at the following points: Ten troops
