LAREDO, Texas, April 25.-Nuevo
Laredo, the thriving Mexican border
town opposite this town was in ruins
last night, devastated by dynamite and
fire by Mexican Federal soldiers, who
late yesterday began an orgy of de
struction which did not end until they
were forced to flee southwark before
the guns of the American border pa
troll.
Two Mexicans are known to have
been killed by the United States troops
and several were seen to fall when a
machine gun platoon from Fort Me
Intosh got into action. Several brisk
skirmishes between the Americans and
Mexieans were fought in quick success
sion as the MeXicans, their troop trains
ready to pull out of the burning city,
began an indiscriminate fire across the
international boundary, but last night
there was no evidence that their shoot
ing had been effective. Property dam
age in Nuevo Laredo will reach $780,
600. Among the buildings DESTROYED
were the United States consulate, muni-
cipal building. postof1ice. theater. the
flour mill, one of the largest in that
section of the Southwest; the railroad
shops of the Mexican National railway
and other smaller structures. Late last
night the fire still was burning. with
no chance that it would be controlled
until everything intammable had been
wiped out, Kerosene an dother com
bustibles literally used fed the flames,
which otherwise would not have been
extensive owing to the adobe construc-
tion largely used.
There Is no property loss in Laredo.
Both international bridges are safe,
though efforts to dynamite them result
ed in the death of two men engaged in
the undertaking. One Mexican was
shot by = sharpshooter from the top of
the water tower The Mexican was
. trying to reach the end of the interna-
tional foot and wagon bridge. Another
was killed when he tried to blow up the
American railroad bridge. The Ameri-
cans were constantly at the American
side to prevent such an attempt
When the Mexican soldiers finally
/ departed order was quickly restored in
/ Laredo, but strong guards remain
/ throughout the city. A serious problem
/ was furnished immigration and city au
/ thorities by the presence at Laredo O.
! hundreds of refugees from the burning
/ city, who had to be furnished food an,
/ shelter.
The Federal garrison evacuated Nue
vo Laredo Thursday, supposedly goiu.
to Saltill0 or Monterey. With their de
parture the busy little city, ordinaril,
! of about 1000 population, was deserted
ell who did not follow the soldiers rush
! ing pahie-strickcn to the American sid
! in fear of bandit attacks. Ecarly yes
tcrday the Fedcrals returned, and i
was announced that they came back TO
additional engines to pull their troo
trains. The Mexican railroads shop
are at Nuevo Laredo.
Another despatch from Laredo claim
that at least IL Mexicans were kllle
and score wounded in the exehang
of shot yesterday.

TO TEST MILITIA's STATUS.
Question of Right to Send National
Guardsman Out of the State

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Proceed-
ings began in the United States Su-
.preme Court yesterday to determine
whether the national guard may be sent
to Mexico or other territory outside the
United States without first being mus
tered in as volunteers. The proceed
ings are ia the. nature of an appeal
from the action of Judge Day in the
federal court in northern Ohio, in dis
missing an action of Lieut. Col. Daniel
T. Stearns against Adjt.-Gen. George
II. Wood of the Ohio national guard,
growing out OF preparations for mill
tia movements outside ihe country.
The court action is designed to test
the constitutionali-y of the recently
enacted militia law, under which Secre-
tary of War Garrison directed the va
rious national guard organizations to
mobilize under orders from the Presi-
dent upon the declaration of war or
the lmminence thereof The suit was
begun on the 18th at Cleveland and
Judge Day dismissed the action.
The contention is made that under
the constitution all federal power over
the state militia is confined to the or
ganlzation, arming and disciplining of
the organization, but that all other
powers are reserved to the individual
states. An appeal from the decision of
Judge Day was filed in the supreme
court and "a motion made to advance
hearing on the case Attorneys for the
adjutant general of Ohio argued to the
possible early need for the militia
