Are Determined to Provoke 1nterna tional Complications--The Band Threatens to Repeat Invasion
 and Troops Are Reinforced

Douglas, Ariz., September 6.-Mex- {can rebels crossed the boundary and were engaged by United States sol diers on the Lang ranch, 50 miles east of Douglas, according to report received here tonight.
 Fourteen American troopers held back 25 rebels, killing five and wound ing one of the Mexicans, it is reported. The rebels are believed to be in com mand of Inez Salazar, whose men also engaged American soldiers below Hatchita, N. M., farther to the east.
 El Paso Tex. September 6.-Advices of a skirmish between United States troops and Mexican rebels who crossed the International line between a point on the New Mexico frontier and here were received today by General Steever.
 The rebels engaged 15 men of the Third cavalry, according to official news. One rebel was captured. One hour later strong column of rebels crossed the deadline. but were driven back into Mexico by the American sol diers after fighting at long range.
 Raid Is Significant
 Although no one was injured in the brush today the incident is deemed of more than passing import
 It is asserted that Inez Salazar the rebel chief operating below the New Mexico border, is intent on causing in- ternational complications, co-incident with his disarmament of American settlers in the state of Chihuahua.
 Since the invasion of Sonora hy rebels. Salazar has made many ncen fiary speeches and has issued a proclamation against Americans. according to advices received by military authorities here.
 It is believed the rebels know the di- viding line between New Mexico and the Mexican state of Sonora and that the ex- petition on American soil. as reported to- day, was merely made to antagonize the United States troops stationed along the border. The rebels are in great need of ammunition and the activity of the American soldiers in preventing the snug gling of munitions of war has caused much i'll feeling.

BUSINESS PROPOSITION The Star advised from
she first Even the enthusiasts beginning to realize
that whether or not it win be BAD business PROPOSE
don or GOOD business proposition depends entirely
upon the detailed terms Of the contract.
This attitude The Star has taken from the first,
and The Star believes this has been the attitude OF the
port commission throughout.
Il would be easy to submit proposition to the
people 90 loosely drawn indefinite, and 90 full OF
ophoes and okers that the people could not help but
reject the whole thing Such course would be the
ost effective way Of killing the project and yet some
of he most ardent terminal advocates were for just
such course.
The port commission deserves the full confidence
q the people Of this district They have taken the
cane view Of the proposition. They ready, even
anxious to cit down and figure with the terminal in
vestor with the idea, not Of driving hard bargain,
but Of reaching common sense business Agreement
hat they offer 10 the people with their recon-
mendation.
The Star sincerely hopes that such an agreement
can be reached and to that end this newspaper again
urges the port commission on the hand and the
terminal Representatives ON the other to proceed
slowly, for HE WHO PROCEEDS SLOWLY PRO-
CEEDS SAFELY, AND HE WHO PROCEEDS
SAFELY WINS.
