 StOrehouse Burned
 Washington, September 24.-Detatls of fight today between United States cavalrymen and Mexican raiders at Progreso. Tex, in which an American trooper was. killed and the captain commanding wounded, were given in report from Major Anderson at Mer- cedes, forwarded to the war depart ment tonight by Major General Funs- ton. After footing the Progreso post office storehouse and burning it the raiders escaped across the Rio Grande under cover of rifle fire from several hundred Mexicans on the south side Of the river.
 The report was telegraphed to Sec retary Garrison at Seabright, N J., by Assistant Secretary Breckinridges De- pertinent officials would not comment but 1t was apparent the incident was regarded as one of the most serious of the many disturbances along the border.
 No new orders have been issued by General Funston. He is in full charge of the border situation. and Is author ized to deal with emergencies as may be necessary. Repetition of such affairs as that of today may be followed by American troops crossing the border to deal with escaping raiders and their accomplices.
 The matter will be laid before the state department. tomorrow that rep resentations may be made to General Carranza, whose troops occupy the ter- ritory opposite Progreso.

TO BLOW UP
mill UNDER INQUIRY

The Hawaii grand jury has been in.
yestigating the attempt to blow up
the Papaikou sugar mill through fioat
ing sack containing giant powder
down a hume through the rollers. A
cap was in place TO explode the char q,
which was found before IL entered the
rollers, however.
Antopia de la Cruz Palai, u Portu-
guese, is under suspicion, and the evi.
denee against him was laid before the
grand jury. The police ailege that he
took the powder from the plantation
powder house, TO which he had access,
and that the sack which contained Ii
was marked with his number ON the
plantation. II Is a practise TO mark
the number of purchaser instead of
his name on goods sent from stores.
The man was hurt some time ago
when lifting cane. He was sent to the
hospital. One rupture was cured, and
the other was question OF time only,
when the man refused to remain long,
,er. He was granted an allowance of
ten dollars a month, but IL was found
that he was buying food for his pigs
and not for himself, and the allowance
was stopped. He made request for a
further allowance and II wns refused.
This Is believed TO have heen the cause
of his attempt to blow up the mill. ?
