HoMEsTEADERs SHOOT CATTLE.

MESA-In the arrest at Gilbert, southeast of Mesa, by Deputy Sheriff Perry and Detective Campbell of Ross Bert and William Timmons, homesteaders, the authorities believe that at least the first step has been taken in the roundup of the men who for several months have made it un- safe for stockmen to place cattle upon the public range south and east of Mesa, and whose activity in kill ing and wounding range stock has resulted in the loss of nearly 100 head of valuable cattle and a loss of not less thain s5,O00 to the cattle men utilizing the vange. So frequent did the depredations become a few months ago, the cattlemen were obliged to remove their stock from the range and place detectives at work in an effort to discover the per petrators and their motives.

Cruz and restoring order there.

Further steps are uncertain, The
president has determined that his
course shall be gradual No orders
have Deen issued TO seize the Gus
tom house at Tampico. II is the
purpose OF the administration TO keep
order in Vera Cruz and await the
full effect on Huerta Of the first act
Of reprisal by the American govern
ment.
There is every reason TO believe
that the railroad running inland
from Vera Cruz 20 miles together
with a valuable trestle will be po-
Iced by American marines and blue
jackets. This section of the rail-
road Is OF supreme importance
should future Developments require
a movement on Mexico City.
Beyond the holding Of Vera Cruz
and this railroad. the Washington
government does not want 10 act al
present. but persons in the conf
dence OF the administration admit
that action by Huerta or Carranza
az any time may alter completely
the plans.
Fear for Americans in Mexico
City and other parts OF the troubled
republic are expressed In many quar-
ters. The house today promtly pass
ed a bill appropriating 100000 TO
care for refugees. The fact that
nothing had been heard from Charge
O'Shaughnessy for nearly is hours
made President Wilson and SeCro-
tary Bryan very uneasy. Early to-
night an unofficial communication
with Mr. O'ShauEhnessy was estab-
lished. but apprehension has not
been allayed as there Is little in
formation about the temper Of the
Huerta government or the people OF
Mexico City since the capture OF
Vera Cruz.
