MEXICAN FORCES CROSS river
AND ATTACK AMERICAN TROOPS

Brownsville, Tex.-About 100 Mexi-
day night forded the Rio Grande near
Mercedes, about 80 miles up the river
from here, and partly surrounded 81
men of the 21st United States cavalry.
They killed one trooper and wounded
two. For a time 1t was reported that
the Mexicans were advancing on Mer-
cedes, but at midnight all had disap-
peared. Soldiers and posses are
searching the brush for them.
The battle at the crossings was
short but sharp. The troopers are un-
able to say whether the main body
of Mexicans crossed to attack them
or whether the crossing was q cloak
to cover crossings at other nearby
river points.
In addition to darkness, the Mexi-
cans had the cover of thick brush and
bends of the river. During the height
of the fighting the soldiers said many
shots were fired from the Mexican
bank opposite their camp. This camp
was near Progreso, an excellent ford
where man and horse could cross with
ease at gallop, and where for two
days cavalrymen and rangers have
been watching the gatherings Of Mexi'
cans in considerable numbers. A Mex
lean at this point fired on the soldiers
but hit no one.
Ranger Lieutenant Reynan In an
early report said he understood 27O
Mexicans had crossed and that they
were coming to attack Mercedes.
The report from Ranger Reynan
said that the Mexicans had crossed
the river in three bands. Mercedes,
according to details Of troops in that
region, should have available 70 Unit
ed States cavalrymen and half doz-
en- rangers for protection, besides Wig
ilantes who have been organized in
force there.
Reynan said it was reported that in
addition to the Mexicans who had
crossed the river, large number of
others were lined up on the Mexican
side.
Reinforcement of rangers and sol
diers from Harlingen were hurriedly
ordered to Mercedes by automobile.
Harlingen is about Is miles from Mer-
cedes. Mexicans who crossed the river
would have seven or eight miles to
cover before they reached Mercedes.
Reinforcements to Mercedes should
reach there ahead Of the Mexicans, ac.
cording to officers at Brownsville.

Most attention swas given to the
lumber situation in the hearing that

commission. The session was opened
by Joseph E. Davies, the chairman,
who subsequently asked G. G. Colt,
of Portland, to preside.
The various elements that have con-
tributed to the present stagnation OF
the lumber industry were presented fol
