WASHINGTON. d. c., March
29.-With the Toxic cables an
noucing that the militaristic poll
cies of the Okuma ministry en-
dorsed at the recent picturesque
election, the Far Eastern situa-
tion has become a real problem
for the United States.
The Japanese embassy an
nounced here today that the
Okuma militarists will have 231
votes In the diet as against 1S7

The department Of state re-
garded this victory of an aggres-

believe a special assembly will
be called within fortnight TO
take action toward a greater

American Residents of 3
Counties Take PreCau-
tons Against Uprising.
SCHEME TO SEIZE
PART OF THE STATE
Disturbances Blamed on Wild
Plan Believed To Be Backed by
Ignorant Glasses Along Border.

Brownsville, Tex, Aug. 11.-Practi-
cally every American citizen in the
three southernmost counties Of Texas
Cameron, Hidalgo and Starts rest
ing under arms tonight in fear that
the overwhelming Mexican population
OF the section may start a racial fight
The Mexican disturbance spread rap
idly westward to-day, unit lrumors of
trouble developed at Laredo. two hun
dred miles along the border from here
This is reported to have been in pur-
suance of an attempt to turn part of
Texas back to Mexican control, a wild
scene backed by ignorant classes of
MeXlcans, fugltives from justice on the
American side and a fairly large in
lux OF irresponsible MeXicans, includ-
ing some soldiers.
The disturbance has been famed by
bitter disputes of border political con-
ditlons, which in some instances kept
the American residents of this section
from realizing how strong the under
current Of Mexican feeling was grow
ing.
Rangers in Hidalgo County, pursuing
the gang that killed al American troop
or near Mercedes last night, captured
a flag to-day bearing in Spanish the
words:
Army of Liberation for Mexicans in
Texas" They took a horse. literature
urging MeXicans to revolt and several
kilograms, one dated Monterey.
Army and Federal Investigators de-
clared the organizers of the trouble are
working under plan which calls for
the death of every American male over
sixteen years old in communities along
the Rio Grarde and also along the Dor
der of New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia. II has been reported TO Gen
eral Funston that more than 5000 Mex
leans are pledged to this organization
already.
Federal officials last winter believed
they nipped one attempt to put this
revolution into effect when they ar
rested a Mexican on charges of sedi-
ton, discovering in his possession de-
tails of the plan.
Authorities tonight are watching the
river below Brownsville, where il was
reported several hundred armed Mexi-
cans had gathered on the Mexican side,
waiting to cross the Rio Grande under
cover Of darkness.
Hiding on Ranch.
A Mexican rancher in Hidalgo Coun-
", about fifty miles from Brownsville,
appealed for aid, asserting that eighty
armed Mexicans were hiding on his
ranch. He said they had threatened to
kill him if he told of their presence.
Officials here have reports that 100
former Carranza soldiers have crossed
the river along a zone 100 miles wide
from a point below Brownsville to Rio
Grande City, up the river. At least
thirty different parties are said to have
crossed
The arrival of troops in force from
Laredo appears to have caused the
bandits to shift rapidly westward to-
day into less populous sections.
About Mercedes rangers and cavalry
men pressed the bandits so hard to-
day that some Of them fled across the
/ river. Cavalrymen captured thirty five
horses from one band near Mercedes
No one was wounded.

CARRANZA WARNS
U. S. TO KEEP OUT

If further trouble develops at Vera
Cruz, orders to so there will be sent
by wireless.
In his letter to Secretary Lansing
the Carranza representative said his
faction was alarmed by reports that
the conference was preparing a plan
for the pacifcation of Mexico and
would view with displeasure any act
which would tend to Illustrate the sue
cess of its operations.
"Mr. Carranza and the persons who
cooperate with him." says the letter,
"are of the profound conviction that if
the American government would know
the true situation in Mexico it would
understand that the only possible, just
and acceptable solution would be to al
low the revolution TO follow its natural
course until the complete victory of
the party representing greater necessi-
ties and popularity.
"The Constitutionalst government,
represented by Mr.. Carranza, abstains
from passing any comment on the con
ferences that are being held, because 1t
has no knowledge of their character

Hernandez Says Mexico
Demands Neutral Leader

A Mexican free from all factional
connections must be chosen TO rule
that troubled republic, according to
General Juan A. Hernandez, who re-
Gently arrived in this country. At his
home, 1862 Riverside Drive, last night
the soldier, who for more than haf a
century served the constitutional gov
eminent in Mexico, declared that
Manuel Vasquez Tagle, whose name
has been mentioned as a candidate for
the country's ruler, was nothing more
than a tool of the Maderos
"The choice of Tagle by the A. B. c.
emissaries and the United States would
simply be the substitution of a new
man for Villa, one of the leaders who
have devastated the nation worse than
it was ever ransacked since the days
of the Aztecs. Vasquez Tagle is not
neutral.
1.-THE best way to get the proper per-
son for President of Mexico is TO not
only learn who is the choice of the
residents of the country, but to have
the better class of MeXicans, most Of
whom came here to the states, say
whom they prefer. An embargo should
be put on arms, but no peace will come
without certain amount of fighting"
General Hernadez said only poems
were left in Mexico, and that the resi-
dents of Mexico City, with the excep-
tion of his followers, hated Carranza
worse than they did the bandit Zapata.
In the north, he asserted, the MeXicans
hated Villa. Both, he was sure, were
working not for the cause Of their peo-
pie, but to enrich themselves.
"Carranza and Villa" he continues d,
have been kept in control by their
press agents, just as the lack of such
persons forced Huerta out. The best
element will flock to the support Of any
really neutral man the United States
will name" said the general. al
though the people, unlike the Carranza
and Villa forces, are not organized
they will become so quickly With the
moral and financial support Of the
United States they will succeed"
General Hernandez explained that
Mexico had been despoiled of house
furnishings, cattle. grain and other
goods TO provide arms for the rival
leaders, who had thus far shown no
administrative capacity. If Tagle
should be nominated, he said, the
wrangle would continue because the
factions would not help him, even if
this country gave him its backing
