UNCLE SAM in DOUBT.
Doesn't Know What to Do With Cap
tured Mexicans.

Washington. April 1.-THE dispo-
sition of the fifty Mexican federal SOL
diers (three officers and forty-seven
men), who surrendered at the battle
of Aqua Prieta and who are "in
charge" of the commanding officer of
the American forces at Douglas, Ariz..
presents an intricate problem to the
American government. The question
whether or not the men should be
held as prisoners is being generally
discussed by officials here. The gem
eral impression seems to be that there
is no statute under which the United
States can hold the soldiers. The
question probably will remain in it's
present status until the Mexicans ask
for their release. The American com
manding officer at Douglas has asked
and received orders from the war de-
partment authority to provide rations
and everything necessary for the COM
fort of the Mexicans ''in his charge"
The situation at Douglas from an
American standpoint is extremely deli
cate, according to reports received by
the war department today, which de-
clare the people of that town are
strongly pro-insurgent. A strong pa
troll of Am erican soldiers has been
thrown along the border to preserve
neutrality. but notwithstanding this. it
is asserted that some of the people of
Douglas have assisted the revolution
lists with guns and ammunition at
evade patrol.
During the fight at Aqua Prieta on
Thursday the American troops and
customs officials conf1scated thirteen
rifles that were found on their way
across the line. Men also were trying
the official advices state to cross the
boundary.
State department officials today
would not commit themselves as to
the course the United States likely
would pursue in dealing with the Gus
toms problem at Douglas Arizona and
Aqua Prieta, Mexico, arising from the
fact that the irsurrectos have COM
plete control of the Mexican port. 1t
is believed Mexico will declare the
abandonment of Aqua Prieta as a port
of entry. Then it will be up to the
American administration to decide
whether this government will recog-
nize the revolutionists at Aqua Prieta
for commercial purposes.
The large mining interests south of
the boundary line at that point lend
a considerable degre of importance to
the problem State department Off
Gals today declared that the matter
would not be dealt with until COM
plete official report of the situation
had been received.
