At 10 o'clock conferees on the

Several hlibusters are threatened

should any further trouble come az
the result OF yesterdays clash be-
tween Mexicans and troopers OF the
Ninth cavalry.
Curious persons continued to beat
the thickets where the Mexicans made
their stand, looking for dead. but no
bodies were found. The American
soldiers reported that six Mexicans
were killed and numerous others were
wounded, but searchers were unable
TO find any bodies.
Four officers of the Ninth were
walking along the American side OF
the border yesterday when q detach-
ment OF so Mexican regulars, coming
out from Aqua Prtcta opened nre on
them. The Americans declared that
they did nothing at all to provoke the
firing. Sixteen troopers joined the
four officers and the Mexicans
charged toward the border. Waiting
until they were within easy range.
the officer gave the word to Are, ana
they said that six Mexicans fell.
Noise of the firing brought e ana
r troops of the Ninth to the scene
and as they wheeled into position. the
Mexicans broke and fed. Another
volley was fired by the Mexicans. &C.
cording to the stories Of the o11cers,
and several more Mexicans were
wounded. One version of the affair
was that the Americans. In pursuing
the Mexicans, crossed the border
twice. but the ofhcers Of the Ninth
deny this.
Today regular army officers said
they had instructions to follow the
Mexicans across the border II they
made any further attacks on Ameri-
cans.
Feeling Is very tense on both sides
and the situation 10 grave.

tom Of using eggs on Easter follows:

tom of using eggs on Easter follows:
Probably the fact that the egg
holds, shut up in itself, the elements
of future life,-a life which may long
be dormant and then come forth into
vigor and beauty, into consciousness
and activity-made it proper symbol
Of the Resurrection. But of all the
millions who have decorated eggs at
the Easter season or played with them
as pretty toy, or fed upon them as a
delicacy, very few have ever stopped
to reflect upon the profound meaning
of the emblem. In my own boyhood a
breakfast of eggs was one of the
unwritten regulations of Easter Sum
day; the main question with the boys
was the number per capita that could
be consumed. Among US there was
none of that dainty decoration with
dyes and pigments which has given so
much pleasure in old times and new.
This fashion, in the opinion of an old
writer, aarose among the Christians
from the joy occasioned by their re-
turning to their favorite food, after so
long an abstinence from them during
Lent This is not impossible, for the
egg was formerly counted as flesh and
denied to good Christians during the
Lenten season"
