Of the action of the American troopers
who returned the fire Of Mexican Fed
erals at Del Rio Yesterday was expressed
here to-day i'm official circles.
The War Department stands squarely
behind Brigadier General Bliss in his de-
termination to inflict prompt punishment
on Mexicans of any faction who wilfully
ire across the line and endanger Amer-
can life and property. Some time ago
General Bliss, after having repeatedly
warned the Mexican military command
ers against indiscrminate shooting across
the line. instructed the officers in com
mand of the American border patrol to
return any such fire If they were satisfied
that American soldiers were being made
targets.
