about what he considers the unpro-
tected condition of parts Of the Texas
Mexican frontier. Senator Sheppard
recently sent kilograms to the Texas
county judges along the Rio Grande
river from Ell Paso to Brownsville, and
his statement to Secretary Knox today
was based upon the replies.
They contend for the need of more
troops in two extended stretches of
territory, one about 800 miles between
Brownsville and Laredo and the other
of almost as great length between Del
Rio and FL Paso. 1t was represented
that there had been much looting along
the upper region, and in one case a
Texas ranch so miles from the border
had been raided within the last few
days.
One thousand troops, the senator said
were required to protect that country.
II was believed that not so many
would be necessary along the lower
Rio Brande, but it was represented
that there were many rowing bands of
Mexicans just across the river on the
Mexican side from Cameron, Starr, and
Hida,go counties, and it was feared
that some of them might cross over
at any time. At Laredo, Eagle Pass,
and FL Paso there was said to be a
suffi cient number Of troops.

CESSATION OF APPARENT
HOSTiLITIES ONLY TEMPORARY

Austin, Texas, Feb 25.-The cessa-
ton Of apparent hostilities at Mata-
moras and Brownsville is but temp
orary, II believe" said Governor Col
quit, of Texas today. ITO one not
understanding the situation thorough
ly, the action of this Office might be
misconstrued. For the past few days
kilograms and letters have been re-
ceived by me requesting protection and
aid. not only from people in the vi
cinity Of Brownsville and Matamoras,
but all along the border. Every pos
sible means of securing protection from
federal troops was fesorted to. with
no success. The requests for aid con-
tinued to pour into the headquarters
and it was necessary to do something
to protect the people Of that state, their
property and interests"
The governor says he feels that the
secretary Of war and officials at Wash
ington did not fully realize the situa-
ton along the border.
General E. q. Steeye-, in command
of the federal troops at San Antonio,
it is understood, suggested to Wash
ington the advisahlity Of border
guards but received no reply.
The American consul in Matamoras
appealed to the Texas ranger force
for assistance. according to reports
reaching here last night and this was
partly responsible for the order to
Texas national guardsmen to go to
Brownsville.
This office does not care in any
way TO interfere with federal action,
but barring protection from that
source. there was nothing to be done
but take the steps of hist night" said

the federal government in sending
