Fl Paso, June 27.-Between 30 and 40 Mexican prisoners were taken into the American camp at Colonia Dublan on Monday afternoon in motor trucks, accord ing to a rancher who arrived here late today, and who said the. trucks came from the direction of Cafrizal He be- lieved a skirmish had taken place on the Santa Maria river, about 50 miles from Colonia Dublan.
 Military authorities here said they had heard nothing of an engagement between American and Mexican forces along the Rio Santa Maria. It was pointed out, however that a column of the Eleventh cavalry has been securing that district in search of survivors of the Carrizal battle. Consensus of opinion was that the captives may have been stragglers from the various Mexican commands who had been picked up by the cavalry column.

BANDITS ARE AMALGAMATING

Fl Paso Tex, June 27.-Evidence that the possibility of war with the United States has healed the breach between the Carranza and Villa factions in Mexican politics, continued to increase here today. More than 100 wealthy Mexicans, who, prior to the surrender of the Villa garri- son of Juarez last January, had been active in supporting the bandit leader, and who since have been refugees in Fl Paso, crossed the Rio Grande and apparently were received in good favor by authorities of the de facto govern ment
 Hand bills printed in Spanish asserting that Villa himself had been pledged to support the CarranZa government in the event of break with the United States, were circulated in Juarez and to some extent in the Mexican quarter of Fl Paso. All reports indicated however, that the bandit chieftain has not yet joined the constitutionalist forces but with body of his troops is somewhere in the Rio Floride district of southern Chihuahua awaiting developments in the crisis.
 General Manuel Medinavietia, formerly Villas chief-of-staff, and General Jose Ysabel Robles. minister of war in the Gutierrez cabinet, were guests today of General Francisco Gonzales, commandant in Juarez. It was reported here that they both of whom have directed exten- sive military campaigns in northern Chmihuahua are to be assigned to im- portant commando in General Trevinos s army of the north.
 Private advices here today said that several hundred men of the force of 10, : 900 Mexican troops which have been con- centrated at Bustilios. 70 miles west of Chihuahua City fdr the ostensible purpose of blocking any attempted American ad- vance down the Mexican Northwestern railway toward the capital formerly were masnbers of bandit bands, scattered and brd en by General Pershing's troops.

DRYNESS ESSENTIAL
IN SWINE BUILDINGS
Good Results Cannot Be Obtained
in Damp Pen-StraW Read
ilV AbSorbS Moisture.

III discussing the qualities that hog
buildings should possess and the value
of dryness in Tire hogs welfare, G.
E. Day, in a bulletin put out by the
Ontario department of agriculture,
says that dryness is closely associated
with ventilation, but is also Influenced
by the material Of which the building
is constructed. Good results cannot be
obtained in a damp pen, and dripping
walls are pretty sure sign of impend-
ing disaster. The floors and fOunda-
ton may be constructed of concrete,
and the foundation may rise two feet
above the surface of the floor. This
will preserve the wood of which the
walls are constructed. A good wall
can be made by setting . by scant-
lings on end, and boarding inside and
out with rough lumber. This rough
lumber should be covered with tarred
paper, and then the walls tightly
boarded with matched lumber. Or the
outside of the pen may be clapboardedy
Smooth, matched lumber is best for
the inside. A means of keeping pen
dry is to have a loft or ceiling Of poles
placed a few inches apart and cov-
cred with straw. The straw absOrbs
moisture. 1t should be removed at
least every year or it will become a
harbOr for dust and germs.
