Washington, Sept. 6.-Major General
Funston reported today that General
Nafarette, the Carranza commander at
Matamoras. had again denied that Car
rama troopers were raiding the Mexi-
can border and proposed bringing more
Carranza troops to the Mexican side
to suppress disorders. The Carranza
authorities have suggested confer
ence to arrange Joint action.
General Funston's message included
the following message from Colonel
Bullard:
"Carranza consul states to me that
he has today in person informed
Nafarette at Matamoras Of fact that
Americans and Carranza troops are
this morning facing each other at
Mission, and in danger Of conflict: that
Nafarette replied he would order his
troops to move back from banks Of

can side would be by men other than
his: that yesterday one constitutional
officer was killed and one civilian
wounded in fight at Cavazos, already
reported Dy Captain Mccoy.

HIS soldiers as he at that very hour
had them all assembled at Matamoras
for review. Nafarstte made offer or
suggestion that more constitutionalist
troops be ordered to the Matamoras
district to cooperate in stopping
bandit operations.

lief that recent firing from Mexican
side had been by men whom unsettled
conditions in Mexico for some years
have turned from honest men into out
laws and that he will by wire and let
ter at once report, explaining condi-
tions to General Carranza and to the
constitutional representative at Wash
ington. Consul emphasized report OF

Brownsville Tex, Sept. 6.-The dis
position Of troops in the Brownsville
section continued today. BY mid
week there will be 1000 men. cavalry.
infantry, artillery, signal and aero
corps in this district, command large
enough, it is hoped. to exert sufficient
moral force to make the use Of physl-
cal force unnecessary in maintaining
quiet In border counties with their 10
per cent population.
The troops are patroling a territory
nearly the size Of Maine. which con-
tains only one city. Brownsville. How
to distinguish between loyal and dis
loyal Mexican citizens is an unsolved
problem.
Some Americans have come to be-
lieve even that other nations are try
ing to involve Mexico with the United
States. A few credit reports that
Americans who wish intervention are
behind most Of the outbreaks.
Postcards Cause Trouble.
In the two months since the bandit
operations began, four Americans have
been murdered. Two were killed by
Sebastian, by Mexicans who were their
personal enemies. Apparently racial
revenge did not enter into these
murders until last week. in the murder
ct two Americans at San Benite. It has
been partly established that two
Americans were killed In retaliation for
the circulation Of some picture post
cards which have been spread over
northeast Mexico. These were pictures
OF Texas rangers on horseback with
ropes about the bodies Of some Msxi-
cans, killed several weeks ago in the
figiit at Norias. The rangers did not
DRAG these bodies. They only posed
for the pictures to satisfy tho photog-
raphel.
A new seventy-ninth district court
held it, first sitting today at Rio
Grande city, about 100 miles up the
river from here. Some Of the attorneys
who attended court from the old coun-
ties said they were carrying law
book In one hand and pistol in the
other.

Fighting in East Heaviest on Both
Wines-Riea Harbor Blocked.
London. Sept, 5.-Fighting on both
wings Of the eastern front proceeds
with much greater vigor than the
struggle in the center. where the In
vaders apparently are having dlfftcul-
ties in trackless swamps.
In the south near the Galician bor-
der fortune fluctuates, first one side
and then the other claiming successes.
The main offensive. however, still lies
with the Austrtans and Germans. On
the north flank, Field Marshal Won
Hindenberg now holds the Dvina
bridge head at Friedrichstadt. but has
lost that at Lennewada, farther down
the river toward Riga. The battle In
that region continues with decisive re-
suits.
Riga Harbor Blocked.
Russia has corrected earlier reports
concerning the attempts Of the Germans
to make landing at Pernau. confirm
ing Berlin's statement that instead OF
losing vessels as the result Of attacks
byl the Russians the Germans inten-
tionally sank several small steamers to
block the entrance to the gulf of Riga.
The deduction Is made that the Ger
mans feared the Russians would land
there sufficiently strong forces to
threaten Field Marshal Won Hinden-
bcrg's left flank.
