OFFICIALS AWAITING
 PROOFS ON HESPERIAN
Insufficient Evidence to Judge Cause--NO Word from
 Vienna.

Washington, Sept. 15.-State de- partment officials, comenting today on the disclaimer of the Berlin gov- ernment that the Canadian liner Hes- perian was torpedoed, said that in- sufficient evidence had been received upon which to base representations to Germany at this time. From the facts at hand, it was said. no opinion could De Iorned as to whether the Hesperian was torpedoed or struck a mine.
 Official reports have made no ref erence to statements of passengers on the liner that large pieces of metal were found on the decks of the vessel which might furnish evidence to de- tern,ine whether the ship was the victim of a mine or a torpedo. If it should be determined that the He's perian struck a mine, officials say there would be no means of fixing responsibility for placing the mine.
 Diplomatic negotiations in the Ara bic case were in apparent Hull today and Count Von Bernstorff, the Ger man ambassador had returned to the summer embassy at Cedarhurst l.. I.
 No word has come from Ambassa- dor Penfield at Vienna in regard to the case of Ambassador Dumba. The fact that only one letter mentioned in the list of communications trans mitted 10 the state department by Ambassador Page at London as hav- ing been found on Correspondent James F. J. Archibald, is in posses sion of the state department, officials explained by the delay in the trans mission of mail. It is expected that within a day or two the remainder of the letters will reach here.

CAVALRY RUSHES TO
 PROTECT TEXAN TOWN
Mexicans Plan Reign of Ter rOr-ShOts Fired at
 Laredo.

Laredo, Sept 5.-Mexicans hidden in the bush on the Mexican side last night fired about fifty shots into the the little town of Simon, twenty miles up the river from Laredo and resi- dents deserted the town.
 Workmen at irrigation pumping plants fled and a hurry call was sent for troops. Cavalry from Dolores was rushed to the scene, but no further shots were fired. All cavalry stationed at Fort Mcintosh was ordered out to patrol the border in every direction today.
 San Benito, Tex, Sept. 15.-Heavy cavalry and infantry patrols, which were rushed to this city during last by Mexican bandits. Evidence of plot to terrorize the city was strength ened by reports to- army patrols dur ing the night of activities of. Mexi- cans outside of the town.
 Just before dawn, the time which the commanding officers here suspect ed was chosen for the attack, infan- try details were sent out along the roads for some distance from town. No belligerent Mexicans appeared.
 Mexicans here have told citizens about an organization of revolutionists which planned to make a demOnstra- tion at some other place to draw troops away from San Benito and then fire into the town. For that reason San Benito will be closely guarded for several days. Army patrols here or in the immediate neighborhood num- Der three companies of infantry and two troops of cavalry. Threats also have been made against the town of Mercedes, about 20 miles from here.
 A few days ago number of strange Mexicans were noticed here. At the same time several trusted Mexican household servants advised their em- ployers to leave because they had heard that the bandits were going to attack.
 San Benito citizens yesterday asked Col. Robert l.. Bullard at Harlingen, for more troops. Ranchers armed with rifles began coming into town from nearby farms, bringing their fam lilies in automobiles. They said they were uneasy about the approach of Mexican Independence Day, Septem- Der 6, the celebration of which be- gins today. They said Mexicans in the country were Talking bad"
 Colonel Bullard sent here in re- and cavilry and Col. A. P. Blocksom at Brownsville ordered out a troop train to bring more infantry.

"BLIND" MAN IS NOT
 SIGHTLESS AT ALL
Arrest of Woman Companion Causes Expose of Two
 ImpOsters.

By the arrest of Mrs. Rose Welch of New York on Church street last night the police unearthed a descip- able scheme for imposing upon the public and fieecing those who are gen. erously inclined. By Mrs. Welch's arrest it was learned that her hus- band, whom she had been leading around as blind man all day, was not blind at all but was simply wear ing black glasses and posing as a
 sightless person to excite sympathy
 and induce the public to part with
 their money.
 Last evening Officer Strolls was
 notified to look out for a drunken
 woman who was accosting people on Church street. He met Mrs. Welch and told her to go to her room. She disappeared but a little later reap peared in the street, dressed some what differently. She was drunk and was arrested. In court this morning she admitted having had a few drinks but told Judge Kirkham that she was mot drunk, but was heart-broken."
 Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth said he saw Mrs. Welch lead ing a man about the streets yester- day trying to sell court plaster and pencils The man was fixed up as blind man and acted his part SO we'll that he did not accost him. How ever, he declared that the erstwhile blind man rushed into police head quarters this morning, bright eyed and healthy. He wanted to inter- cede for his wife. As soon as the matter of masquerading as blind was put up to him the man edged to- ward the door and suddenly disap- peared up Commercial street. All thought of interceding for the woman fled from his mind.
 Mrs. Weloh became badly confused in telling her story. She at first said her husband was masquerading as 8 blind man, then denied it and said he was only crippled. She said they came here from New York yes- terday to go to the fair. Then she said they were en route to Providence, but before Prosecutor Klett was through cross examining her she ad- mitted that she and her husband had tricked the patrons of the Charter Oak fair all last week with their pathetic of a poor blind hus- band and his helping wife. The woman was fined $10 and costs.
 The prosecuting authorities say that this case is one of the most bare faced attempts to impose on the pub lie that has been brought to notice | in long time.

HOT HEADED GERMAN.

Berlin, Sept. 15. (By wireless to Sayville, N. Y.)-The Overseas News Agency says: Herman newspapers which arrived recently in the United States contained pamphlets advising the destruction of American muni- tions factories. Such a practice is designated officially as stupid and dangerous. Evidently this was the work of misguided and hot headed private citizens, who attempted to conduct an agitation in this manner. No newspaper office was responsible"
