ADVISE CONSULS
TO QUIT MEXICO
WARNING TO WITHDRAW FROM
DANGER ZONE is GIVEN
TO OFFICIALS.
Measure Result of Advance Of obre-
CONS Forces Into Northern Mexico
and LawIessness for Which Army
Chief Denies Responsibility.

Washington. consuls in
northern Mexico, which now has be-
come the chief battle ground between
the contending factions, have been
advised by the state department not
only to notify American citizens to
withdraw from the danger zones, but
to leave Mexico themselves in the
event that conditions become intoler-
able.
Secretary Lansing Wednesday de-
scribed the instructions to consuls.
which were issued several days ago,
as simply precautionary ON account of
the diturbed conditions. They are
similar to those given to American
consuls in Europe whenever the con-
tending armies draw near cities pre-
viously untouched by the fighting.
The rapid advance of General Obre-
CONS forces into northern Mexico and
frequent reports OF lawlessness on the
border, for which General Villa has
disclaimed responsibility, have led
to the present measures according to
state department officials. The only
formal announcement on the subject
was as follows:
Owing to disturbed conditions pre-.
vailing along the Mexican border, de-
partment repeats the advice hereto
fore given to American citizens to re.
main on this side of the international
line for the present"
AS soon as American citizens have
withdrawn, there will be no necessity,
In the opinion of high officials here
for the consuis to remain, but 1t was
denied that they had been ordered to
leave, discretion being vested In the
consuls themselves.

.MEX|CANS ERE ON
/. CAMP OF TROOPERS
ONE AMERICAN SOLDIER KILLED
AND ANOTHER BADLY WOUND
ED IN ATTACK ON PATROL.
Blow Struck Near Daybreak While
Soldiers Were Still Sleeping; Army
on Texas Frontier Now Practical
ly on Wartime Military Footing.

Brownsville, Texas.-One American
soldier lost his life in a carefully
planned attack by Mexicans early
Monday on camp of a patrol OF the
Third cavalry near Santa Maria,
Texas. AS a result American troops
in the lower Rio Grande valley are
held in readiness for instant action.
Private Anthony Kraft OF Detroit,
Mich, was shot through the head and
died before the fight was over.
Trumpeter Harold T. Forney OF Wa
tertown, N. Y, was shot through the
abdomen and is expected to die. Ser
geant ames c. Walsh was slightly
wounded.
Although surprised and surround
ed, ten troopers of A troop, Third cav
airy, under Sergeant Walsh made a
spectacular defense and stood off
three times their number of assail-
ants until the approach of another de-
tachment of United States troops
forced the Mexicans to retreat.
The camp where the fight occurred
was in grove about shed in a
ranch corral The American detach-
ment slept in this shed and under
the ebony trees beside it. Before the
men had been awakened near day
break, one of the soldiers, who was
starting the breakfast fire, saw, less
than 100 yards away, outside of the
corral fence, one man on top OF a
straw stack and five others on the
ground nearby He shouted a warn
ing. Sergeant Walsh awakened the
command and as the men reached for
their rifles the Mexicans opened fire.
This fire, starting from the straw
stack, quickly encircled the Ameri-
cans until they were fighting with
detachments Of Mexicans, probably
totalling thirty, stationed at FIVE sep
arate shelters.
State peace officers searching
American houses in the vicinity of
the ranch seized two wagon loads of
arms after the battle, but there was
nothing to connect any Americans di-
rectly with the fight. In addition to
the arms seized they found many old
fashioned firearms in the possession
of Mexicans. These were destroyed.
Gen. E. P. Nafarrate, at Matamo-
ros, Mex, in response for the arrest
of Luis de la Rosa and Aniceto Pr
zano, sent word that he was searching
for them. These two Mexicans were
alleged to be signers of the most re-
cent circulars distributed in this Sec
ton calling upon Mexicans to kill
Americans.
Five Mexicans living at the ranch
house where the fight occurred were
arrested on suspicion and taken to
San Benito. One of them seveal days
ago, 1t is alleged, told one of the
Twelfth cavalry officers that he in
tended to kill one of that officers
men.
