THROUGHOUT U. S.
M. Nestgard Makes Extensive
Trip Through North West and
South-Plots All Roads
As He Proceeds.

The recent disastrous floods in
Texas have forced Mr.. A. L. Vest
gard, vice-president Of the National
highways Association and director
Of the Department Of TranscOn-|
tinental Highways, to abandon for
the season the field work that he
has been doing for the Association
slnce the beginning Of June.
The journey Of almost 1000
miles which has thus come to an
end has been one Of the most re-
markable ever undertaken in the
interest Of Good Roads. In an auto
mobile Mr.. Westgard left the city
hall, New York. on June 2, to Sc
cure first-hand information, about
certain interstate roads that have
been suggested by the National
Highways Association as part OF It's
proposed system Of National High
ways.
Some idea Of his thoroughneSS
may be gained from his itinerary in
Pennsylvania. Ohio and Indiana.
The journey from Indianapolis to
San FranciSco was by way Of St.
Louis. Kansas City, Denver and
Salt Lake City. From San. Fran
cisco he'went north into Oregon and
Washington. and came down through
Idaho to Salt Lake City, and thence
east.ta. Denver. From Denver he
drove south to Albuquerque, New
Mexico, turned west on the old Santa
Re trail, and proceeded by way Of
the grand canyon to Los Angeles
After that he dropped down to San
Diego and started eastward from
there, following the borderland trai
to FL PaSo, Texas. He was Ell
gagged in mapping routes in Texa'
when the RAIN and floods put stoI
to his work. lin To that time h,

No Danger at Laredo.

Washington, April 24.-With the Ninth regiment of infantry; three troops, I, K and of the Fourteenth cavalry; battery A of the Third field artillery at Laredo, war department officials said there was no occasion for alarm because the town had been fired upon by Mexican soldiers.
 As far as is known here the Mexi- can federal garrison at Nuevo La redo comprised about 800 men with 5000 other federals scattered be- tween the border city and Monterey. There are about 5000 federal sol diers at Guerrero, Mexico, below Nuevo Laredo, on the Rio Grande.
 "We are not prepared to invade Mexico under present conditions"
 This was Secretary Garrison's ex- planation of the refusal to aid Gem eral Bliss to seize the bridges at La redo, Fl Paso and other points on the Rio Grande.
 In the secretary's opinion such an invasion of Mexico would be an act

 "Following received from the cap tain of the British cruiser Berwick at Puerto Mexico:
 There are now about 200 Ameri- can refugees on board three Hawaii an steamers anchored off break water. They have not sufficient food to take refuge to nearest American port.

Juarez Mexico, April 24.-Asked point blank today by a reporter as to his attitude with respect to Carran- zas note to Secretary Bryan, Gen eral Villa looked sharply at his in ouisitor, walked to the window came back and then, after two false starts, said abruptly:
 "It was great mistake that; he stopped, wiped the precipitation from his forehead, and added:
 sWen. friend, am only a subordi- nate officer and don't believe that if is best that I should give out my views-not yet anyway"
 Then he burst into laughter ana said:

 Preceding the transports were the torpedo boat destroyers F1usser, Reid and Preston, to act as convoy.
 The steamers now preparing to fol- low with the artillery and the cav airy are the Mallory liner San Mar cos and the Texas City company's steamer Saltillo. Col.

WASHINGTON IS MAINTAINING A CLOSE SCRUTINY OF THE DoINGS OF THE REBELS.
SEND A NOTE TO CARRANzA
Advising Him to Keep Out of the Diff ficulty Which He is Assured is Not Being Made Against the People of Mexico Generally.

Washington, April 24.--While the attention of the American govern ment, for the most part today was concentrated on restoring order at Vera Cruz, and eXpediting the de- parture of Americans from Mexico, watchful eye was trained on the trans-continental boundary between Mexico and the United States for any signs of hostility from Mexican con stitutionalists.
 President Wilson and his cabinet had a long meeting, after which opti- mism was conspicuously apparent, both in their demeanor and informal discussion of the situation. There was no particular development to which the feeling of hopefulness that war could be averied could be traced but General Villas friendly pro- nouncement, it was admitted had impressed many officials here with the possibility that the constitution aists would remain neutral while the American government sought repara- tion from Huerta.
 Other officials were not so san guine and they finally moved with precision and swiftness to protect the American boundary and reinforce the expeditionary force of marines and bluejackets at Vera Cruz Conferences at the state depart ment between Secretary Bryan and representatives of the Mexican con stitutionalists resulted in the dis patch to General Carranza of tele- gram by the latter, strongly advising him to remain neutral and assuring | him that the American government intended TO withdraw it's forces from Mexico jrft as soon as 1uerta had made satisfactory reparation for of lenses. The advice given Carranza here was that by assuming hostile attitude he would draw all Mexico into a war: Huerta would be per petuated and the consttutionalists' | cause lost.

FIFTH BRIGADE SAILS FROM GALVESTON FULLY EQUIPPED
 AND READY FOR SERVICE.
CAVALRY TO FOLLOW SOON
Two Commercial Steamers Will Be Chartered to Carry the Sixth Cav airy and the Battery of Artillery Ordered to Vera Cruz.

Galveston, Texas, April 24.-In just 20 hours after orders to start for the front were received from Washing ton the expeditionary force of the United States army, four regiments of infantry, 3,40O strong, many of them veterans of Philippine cam paigns and carrying l2 machine guns, sailed for Vera Cruz.
 The Sixth cavalry and the Fourth artillery batteries did not get away because there was no room for them on the four available transports here, but efforts are being made to get them away tomorrow on two com mercial steamers chartered for the purpose. The men who sailed today, with those who are to follow, com prise the Fifth brigade, reinforced, commanded by BrigaAer General Frederick Funston. They are due in Vera Cruz some time Monday.
 It was a stripped fighting force that sailed today. Every ounce of subsistence that could be crowded aboard was put on the transports and each of the four regiments was re- duced to one ambulance and three wagons with 25 mules The trans port Sumner, carrying the Fourth and part of the Twenty-eighth infan- try, was first away, her rails packed with men and officers in the army's olive drab campaign uniforms. the band playing "Auld Lang Syne," the men cheering and hundreds of their wives and sweethearts on the dock answering the farewell salutes with smiles the men could see across the water while the distance hid their tears. The Second division has been in mobilization camp here so long that many of the men had settled their families in Galveston. Second away was the Mcclellan, with the re- mainder of the Twenty-eighth in fantry. Next came General Funston s transport, the Fitzpatrick. where some of the officers wives danced on deck 10 military music until the transport whistle warned then sail.

Fire is Promptly Returned by United States Troops But They Did Not Cross the Border as Fleeing Federals Made Nasty Getaway on the Moving Train.

San Antonio, Texas, April 24.-A long distance telephone message re- ceived here at 2:35 D. m said tha. the Mexican federals at Nueyo La ledo, Mexico, had fired the town and were firing across the river into Laredo, Texas.
 The federals evacuated Nuevo Laredo yesterday but returned dur ing the night. According to the re- ports received here the federals dy- namited the customs house, tele- grapn office and railroad property at Nueyo Laredo, and then started an attack on Laredo
 What damage was done the Ameri- car town is not known, but great ex- citement prevails
 The federals opened fire on the Americans as the federal troop train ruled out. From windows and plat forms the Mexicans began rapid fire, aiming indiscriminately at any person in reach. The fire was quickly returned. All available troops on the American side were or dered to the boundary when the fed erals began dynamiting.
 The troop trains put on all possible speed when the American fire began and were soon out of range.
 IA A.. T. were killed by the Mexican fire, but it is impossible to verify this. Ameri- cans attracted to the border said that probably ten or twelve Mexicans fell when the American troops re- turned the fire
 Among the buildings destroyed at Nueyo Laredo was the United States consulate and the municipal build ings.
