Brownsville, Texas. Dec. S.--A cor don of Mexican troops will begin spreading tonight 150 miles parallel to the southeastern frontier of Texas from the Gulf of Mexico to Guerrero to cut off the retreat of General Reyes into the United States, provid- ed he is in the portion of Mexico where he has been reported for sev eral days. Orders to start out with these troops tonight were received to- day from Mexico City by Maj. Jose Pena at Matamoras, across the Rio Grande from here. This cordc.n will extend far past Camarga, where Reyes was reported today and reach nearly to Laredo.
 Major Pena said today he wired Mexico City yesterday, not that Reyes had been seen here, but that t was rumored the general had been here. Pena said he believes there is a man here who resembles Reyes esad who has passed for him, and said he believed this double had started rumors of Reyes presence here in order to throw Mexican agents of the real track.

 In connection with the possible re- turning Of indictments here or at tldianapolis on the conspiracy charg- es' it is pointed out that rules of law have made it possible to indict persons who formed a conspiracy either at the point of origin or at the place where the conspiracy was consummated. It is admitted that the government can consolidate eith- CT at Los Angeles or at Indianapolis, but it is predicted that division of the task will ensue and the inves- tigation here will be directed towards coast labor leaders and the probe in Indianapolis toward eastern off cials.

CABINET TALKS
 DF IRRIGATION
SITUATION WITH RUSSIA is DIS. GUESSED AT LENGTH BY THE
 ADMINISTRATION.
Fear That Abrosation Might Lead to International Difficulties at
 This Time.

Washington, Dec. S.-For two hours today President Taft and his cabinet wrestled with the RussiesI passport question and at the conclusion of the session it was acknowledger a solu- tion that would satisfy American Jews and at the same time not em. barrass either the United States of Russia still was undiscovered. Practl. cally no other topic of importance was discussed.
 While the negotiations of American Ambassador Guild at St. Petersburg have not been abandoned, it looked tonight as if there could be but one outcome-the abrogation of the treaty of 1882 with Russia So far Ambas- k sador Guild was said to have met with little satisfaction in the propos- als that the regulations imposed on visiting American Jews be modified.
 The pressure to bring about mod ificaton or abrogation of the treaty has been great. but any action taken will be only after the closest scrutiny to prevent international embarrass- ment, for the united States has it's own problem in prohibiting the admis. sion of Chinese.
 It was said tonight President Taft's expected communication to congress on the passport question might be delayed for some time. .a the mean. time there will be more cabinet con- ferences, a continuance of negota- tions in St. Petersburg and probably agitation in congress. 1t is possible congress might approve the abroga- ton of the treaty and while many officials believe this also would cause embarrassment it might prove the only solution.
 Talk of new treaty with Russia to replace that of 1892 is not taken seriously among cabineE members. It was said on good authority tonight that negotiations looking to another treaty had not proceeded far enough to warrant any hope that a solution could be reached in this way.
 Senators Lodge and Crane, and Representatives Pesers. Murray Weeks, Thayer, Harris, Roberts, Gil lette, Greene, Wilder, Anne, Curley and Mccall of Massachusetts. today promised delegation of Boston and Salem Jews to vote for tn abroga ton of the treaty if diploma ic nego- tiations tailed Representative Card ner would not commit himself on the question of abrosation.
