fourth paced the deck, his cigar glow

The fog began to lift just before
dawn and the stoker, making another
trip down his rope, found the port
hole Open A hasty inspection of the
decks Indicated that it was safe to
go ahead.

had revolvers, but the racetrack mans
weapon was chosen because he had
obtained it from source to which 1t

MEXICAKS PLAN TO
GRAB PART OF TEXAS
Battle Ships Ordered to Vera Cruz
to Ouell Mob.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The situation
in Mexico took a new and startling turn
to-day and it is believed there is strong
probability that clash between the
United States and Carranza is imminent.
The developments of the day we're:
Commander McNamee, in command
of the naval forces of the east coast re-
ported that mobs in Vera Cruz were be-
ing melted to murder foreigners, and
that the situation was extremely serious.
He asked that two battleships be sent to
him at once.
In response to his request, the battle
ships Louisiana and New Hampshire
sailed tonight from Newport, R. l., for
Vera Cruz. The gunboat Marietta has
also been ordered from Progreso to Vera
Cruz. It is understood also that the
gunboats Wheeling and Machias, which
are on the Mexican coast, have been
| ordered there.
President Wilson has decided to cut
short his vacation at Cornish, N. H.,
and return to Washington at once. He
is expected to arrive tomorrow night or
Thursday and hold a cabinet meeting on
Friday.
Announcement was made that more
troops will be sent to the Mexican Dor.
der at once. Secretary of State Lansing
left Washington at midnight for New
York, where the conference of the Pan.
American diplomats on the Mexican
situation will be resumed tomorrow.
Maj. Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief Of
staff of the army, sent in report Of
his conference with Gen. Villa. The
rebel leader is said to have agreed to the
demands made on him.

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 11.-Prac-
tically every American citizen in three
southernmost counties of Texas, Cam
eron, Hidalgo and Starr, is resting un-
der arms tonight in fear that the over
whelming Mexican population Of this
section may break out in a racial fight.
The Mexican disturbance spread rap
idly westward to-day until rumors of
troubles developed at Laredo, 200 miles
up the border from here. The disturb
ance to-day came out definitely in its
true colors, an attempt to turn part of
Texas back to Mexican control, wild
scheme, backed partly by ignorant
classes OF Mexicans, helped by escaped
convicts and fugitiyes from justice on
the American side, assisted by fairly
large influx OF irresponsible Mexicans
from the other side, including some
Mexican soldiers, and by some OF the
bitter disputes Of border political con-
ditions, which in some instances kept
the American residents of this section
from realizing how strong the undercur-
rent of Mexican feeling was growing.
Rangers in Hidalgo County, pursuing
some Of the gang which killed an Amer
lean trooper near Mercedes last night,
to-day captured flag bearing the words
in Spanish: Army Of Liberation for
Mexicans in Texas"
=, They took also horse, some litera-
ture urging Mexicans to revolt and some
kilograms, one dated Monterey.

E. H. Crump of Memphis, to-day stated
to friends of Congressman K. D. Nc

gresham in the event OF the latter s

such a primary.

Hull made the statement that if Mr..
Mcclellan got the support of his home
county for the senatorship, he and Con-
gresham FINS ]. Garrett would step

discovered a little further down, but not
in paying quantities. They have an
abundance of material, all the labor,

NEGRO CONFESSES ID MOUNTAINEERING Preliminary Trial of Boy kins and Brown Will Be
 Held Today

Joel Boylins and Jesse Brown, the two negro dentists arrested Saturday night on a charge of counterfeiting, will be given preliminary hearing this morning before Judge R. B. Watts, United States commissioner. The hearing will be held in the office of Captain McAdams of the secret serv- ice located in the federal building. The negroes are charged with eounterfeit- ing s5 gold pieces.
 Government officials state the cap- ture of the two negroes is considered one of the most important in years. as the counterfeit coin found in the possession of Brown is almost perfect in workmanship, weight and ring, but is said to be a little light in color. Last night Brown made a confession in the presence of government offi- cials and City Detectives Wade and Street who assisted the officials in the capture of the two negroes. Boy kins denies all complicity in the mat ter either as to manufacture or the passing of the counterfeit coins. Brown also states Boykins is innocent.
