ASSOCIATED Press by Federal Wireless,

WAsHNGToN, May l3.-out of
w the jumbled statements from the
border two things stood out last
night. One was that the Mexican de
faeto government is moving troops to a
concentration camp it has established
south of Douglas, Arizona, and the
other was that the two countries appa.
rently are more hOpelessly unable to
agree than ever.
Even negotiations conducted with the
bandits who are believed to have two
Americans in their possession south of
Boquillas refused to parley with the
Americans who had gone to attempt to
effect an exchange of prisoners.
Recross Border
AS consequence of this Major Lang.
horne with two troops of the Eighth
Cavalry, has recrossed the border in the
hope of being able to free Jesse Deem
er and any other Americans who may
be held prisoners by the robbers. The
bandits are holding Deemers for ran
som.
Douglas reported that arrivals from
Naco bring the information that the
Carranzistas are moving comparatively
large bodies of troops to the west, but
that their destination is not divulged.
Two thousand CaTranZista soldiers are
said to have been sent out from that
town their objective being kept a deep
secret. 1t Is believed however that
they are destined for the concentration
camp at Del Rio, south of the Arizona
border.
Report Fresh Raid
Late dispatches yesterday afternoon
reported another Mexican raid, > band
of outlaws having attacked Palaris, u
mining camp not far from Lochiel, on
the Arizona border. Col. w. H. Sage,
commanding at NOvales has ordered a
company of infantry and a dozen troop
ers to guard I.ochiel and Washington
Camp, and to patrol other towns along
that section of the border.
The CaValrymCn and posse that follow
ed the raiders who murdered Curtis
Bayless an American rancher, are re-
ported to have killed one of the band
and captured two of them. The prison
ers were taken to military headquarters
for examination, says one report. An
other declares that the murderers es-
capped. Later it was announced at
Brownsville, that the American author
