 Mean Business at Boundary.

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. 8.-The rrst day of the armies new policy ot taking over entire control of the rlver front in the Brownsville sec ton passed without a report of a shot being fired across the interna- tional line. Major w. H. Ray, chief of staff for General Funston. left to- night for San Antonio to report on four days inspection of the disturbed area
 Major Ray accompanied by Col onel A. P. Blocksom of the Third cavalry, made a personal inspection of the territory where international fighting has occurred. It is believed that upon receiving his report, Ma Jor General Funston will issue fur ther important orders intending to restore peace on the boundary. In line with the new policy of policing the river front more strictly, a new cavalry patrol was established today on the river between Brownsville and the Gulf of Mexico and another was stationed about fifteen miles above | Brownsville.
 The arrival of the Sixth Cavalry today at Harlingen from Texas City doubles the cavalry forces available for river patrol duty. The Sixth cavalry rested tonight at Harlingen, few miles north of Brownsville, await ing assignment to stations.
 On the streets of Mercedes this morning dozen printed circulars were found calling on Mexicans to rise and conquer the states of Cali fornia, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and Colorado, and rename them the Republic of Texas" The circulars were written in Spanish. They de- clared that "Outrages are being dia- ly committed on defenceless women, old men and children of our race" Their language was high flown, re- ferring to American peace officers as Hungry tigers and nauseous hye- mas"
 As they boasted that Mexicans were sufficiently strong to rise in revolt. San Antonio was given as headquar- ters of the manefesto. It was signed by the name of Luis de la Rosa and Anicito Pizano, both of whom are re- ported to have been seen in Matamo- ras, Mexico, opposite here, this week.
 Pizano was the alleged leader of the bandits which last night killed two Americans and whose house near Harlingen, Texas was searched and burned by peace officers few days ago. There was no clew in Mercedes as to who dropped the circulars.
 Identical circulars were found at other points nearby. From several sources today came reports that high Carranza authorities are investigat- ing the attitude of General Nafar- rate, commander at Matamoras. It was said on good authority that even though it may develop that he has not been responsible for the out breaks, he may be transferred be- cause widespread rumors against him have impaired his usefulness on this section of the border.
 It was reported more pistols were sent to bank vaults in San Benito today by Mexicans who taking advan- tage of last nights mass meeting, offered to cooperate in restoring peace and particularly, confidence. Just how valuable factor the confidence is in restoring peace is aptly illus trated by the use of such an unusual depository as bank vaults for pistols and rifles.
 Americans thus far have not known what Mexicans they could trust, even among friends of years standing. Fur ther efforts of civil authorities to res tore peace were made in meeting today of mayors or their representa- lives from five cities. They met at Mercedes at the call of Mayor E. k. Evans of that city. Other places rep resented were Brownsville, Harlingen, San Benito and Donna.
