Washington, April 2l.-Brigadler
General Funston, commanding the
American forces on the Mexican bor-
der. tonight reported to the Secretary
Of War that, while two American lieu
tenants were flying an army aeroplahe
over Brownsville, there were shots
fired from the Mexican side. Colonel
Blockson, commandant at Brownsville,
has communicated with the American
Consul at Matamoras, who is making
an investigation.
There is nothing in the dispatch to
indicate that the shots were aimed at
the aviators, except the explanation
offered by the Carranista Consul AT
Brownsville Senior Cara, VINO stated
that they were fired on orders OF an
irresponsible lieutenant. There were
no shot marks on the aircraft, and the
aviators would have been unable to
hear the whistling of bullet on ac-
count Of the noise of their motor.
General Funston states that all or
the flying was done on the American
side of the Rio Grande. The aeroplane
made another ascent to-day, but there
was no firing. Senior Cara reported
that the lieutenant who ordered the
firing had been placed under arrest.

The antiseptic and anasthetic prepa-

is used, but it is effective, Humphrey
says, in subduing pain.
Humphrey recently sent specifca-
