GENERAL FUNSTON REPORTS
ON THE BOROER CLASHES

WASHINGTON Sept. 6.--Gener-
al Funston reported on the Ameri-
can and Mexican clashes across the
river near Mission Saturday. He
said the commander of the forces
on the other side had taken steps to
prevent further trouble. He stated
that armed forces faced each other
in dangerous conflict. General Ma
farrate had notified General Fun
ston that he had ordered his troops
to move further back from the
boundary.
Conferences between military
leaders on both sides have been
held. Funston said several brushes
had occurred between Mexicans
who fired across the border at Unit
ed States troops and American citi-
zens, but such encounters had not
been important, being provoked by
smugglers.
From Captain j. c. Mccoy came
word that fifty Mexicans, supposed
to be smugglers and horse thieves
and perhaps few Carranzista sol
diers, who had raided the village
of Ojdenaza on the Mexican side
had fired at rangers and deputy
sheriffs at Cavazos crossing Satur-
day. A cavalry detachment was
rushed TO the scene and returned
the fire. A brick fight cnsned
On the American side Trooper Sal
vini was slightly wounded. Amons
the Mexicans one officer is knowr
to be dead.
From Vera Cruz Consul Sillimar
reported the Carranza announce
ment OF the capture of Saltillo ans
paradon. He also mentioned tive
more railroad wrecks but gave ns
further details. One was between
Laredo and Monterey. A few Amer
leans or the train escaped withou
injury.

One Communication Discussed Plans
for Calling Out Austrians and
Hungarians Employed in

WASHINGTON. Sept 6--Officials
said today that if conditions were
those of ordinary times it would be
an excellent chance for the state de-
partment to ask the Austrian govern
ment to remove Ambassador Dumba.
The ambassador, according to infor-
nation received here. does not deny
that among the papers seized by the
British when James F. j. Archibald,
the American newspaper man, was
arrested at London, was communi-
cation from the embassy to the yien
ma foreign office discussing plan
for calling out Austrians and Hun
garians employed in the steel and
munition plants in this country The
administration is admittedly so un-
willing TO take action that would
give the European belligerents the
impression that it is unneutrai that
lit is believed almost certain the state
| department will accept semi-offi-
cial explanation from the Austrian
! diplomatic representatives. This
was stated on good authority
The Austrian ambassadors re-
cent activities furnished the basis
| for the recent charges of President
Gompers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor that foreign interests
were fomenting trouble in several
industrial lines. Ii is not considered
that the German embassy was in
volved. So far as known only docu-
ment of that sort seized was copy
of Ambassador Won Bernstorff's ex-
planation TO Secretary Lansing in
connection with the New York
Worlds pro-German expose. On ac-
count of this being holiday neith-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE
Hesperian incident did not bring
Secretary Lansing to the state de-

Officials said it was fortunate
that the incident was preceded by
Germany pledge to modify her sub
marine warfare. They expressed the
belief that this pledge was given in
good faith and expected Germany %
make satisfactory explanation.
There seems 10 be some question
as to whether the liner was torpe-
