Troops Chasing Bandits.
Brownsville, Tex. = Troops which
have been chasing the bandits be-
lieved responsible for the murder of
two Americans last week near San
Benito, returned here Monday night
with report that in the house of Ami
ceto Piano, alleged leader of the band,
they had found four letters post
marked Los Angeles. These letters
offered to send Piano buttons for his
men to wear, inscribed Army of Lib
erty" Pizano is believed to have es
capped into Mexico.
Reports were spread that Mexicans
ON both sides of the river were plan
ming an outbreak in this section on
Sept. 16, Mexican independence Day.
The disposition of the troops in the
Brownsville section continued Mon
day.
BY mid-week there will be 10000
men-cavalry infantry artillery, sig
nal and aero corps-in this district,
command large enough, it is hoped, to
exert sufficient moral force to make
the use of physical force unnecessary
in maintaining quiet in the border
counties with their seventy per cent
Mexican population.

lean commander would not hesitate to
pursue to rout the participants in
any movement approximating an
armed invasion.

only in small bands, however, it was
understood they would not be fol
lowed acrosc the frontier.
The troops are patrolling territory
nearly the size of Maine, which con-
tains only one city, Brownsville.
In the two months since the band
dts began operations, four American
men have been murdered. Two have
been killed at Sebastian by Mexicans
who were their personal enemies.
