San Antonio, Tex, October TO-
Official notice of the great number Of
refugee Huertistas, Cientificos, anti
Carranzistas and other Mexicans in
terested in fomenting revolution and
revolt in Mexico was taken in San
Antonio this week by United States
District Attorney Camp and other
officials of the Department of JUS
tice. 1t is reliably understood that
the movement now afloat will result
in the departure from San Antonio
and the western district of Texas of
all Mexicans who are believed to be
aiding and abetting revolutionary
conditions. Many prominent refugees
are to be marked"
From reliable sources word has
gone forth that the United States
Government will resort to every rem
edy known to the law to carry out its
purposes. Extradition, deportation
and every other legal means will be
employed to rid San Antonio, Ell
Paso' and other points in West and
Southwest Texas of these refugees.
Information from Washington in
dicates that President Wilson and
Attorney General Gregory are keep
ing in close touch with conditions in
this city, as they relate to the gen
eral Mexican situation. These offici-
ais are just as anxious as their sub
ordinates in this section to prevent
as far as possible the gathering on
this side of the border of refugees
who would contribute. Goals to the
lsmouldering flams.. Because of this
it is believed that scores of one-time
prominent Mexican officials who are
now conspiring in San Antonio will
soon find themselves regarded by the
United States as undesirable ali
ems" and treated accordingly.
The first step in this programme
came few days ago when Luis An
tonic Hernandez, captor of United
States Consul John r. Silliman when
he was prisoner at Saltillo sever
al months ago, was arrested by Dep
uty United States Marshall Dibrell.
The day before Hernandez, at the re-
quest of Federal authorities, was de-
tanned by the police on the technical
charge of vagrancy. He was trans
ferred to Marshal Dibrell about
o'clock, and an hour later he was
on trial before United States Com
missioner Edwards, charged with
smuggling diamond into the Unit
ed States from Mexico. Hernandez
had the stone when he crossed the
border. and when he was arrested on
a vagracy charge, he is said to have
given the diamond to an attorney as
a retaining fee.
Hernandez was held to await the
action of the grand jury at the De-
cember term of court by Commission
er Edwards, after he had waived a
preliminary examination. His bail
was fixed at $1,000. Following the
action of the Commissioner Court,
federal officials declared that in the
event he should make bond he will
be Immediately rearrested by Unit
ed States marshals, acting for immi
grafton officials, on charge OF being
IAN undesirable alien" Necessary
papers in this case have already been
prepared by immigration Inspector
Tarver..
Hernandez's arrest was brought
about by John r. Sillman, President
Wilson's representative. with Gen.
Carranza. Mr.. Silliman spent the past
week in San Antonio. He left for
Washington to confer with President
Wilson regarding the recent devel-
opments in the Mexican situation.
Mr. Silliman was walking along |
Houston street with Mrs. Silliman
on Friday. and as he passed group |
of Mexicans he recognized Herman
dec. Hernandez did not see Mr.. Sill |
man. and the consul passed him by |
without sign of recognition. AS
soon as he could get to a telephone
he telephoned District Attorney |
Camp. telling him OF the presence OF |
Hernandez in the city. The descrip-
tion of Hernandez was given to Mar
shall Dibrell and short time later |
he was arrested.
According to Mr.. Silliman. after
