San Antonio.-The third American
punitive expedition crossed the inter-
national border separating the United
States from Mexico The soldiers went
under orders from Major General Fun
ston, commanding the southern divi-
sion, United States Army, with the
avowed intention of capturing. punish
ing or disbanding Mexican bandits
making depredations into "the sacred
soil" of the United States. Another
raid took place at T. A. Coleman's
ranch at Hidalgo, Texas, In Zapata
county, 80 miles east of Laredo. There
Bandit troopers, under the leader
ship of Luis de la Rosa. crossed the
Rio Grande not far from Nueva La
redo, swooped down on the ranch and
made away with some so odd head OF
horses. The raid came Unexpectedly.
When Luis de la Rosa advertised ex-
tensively that he intended to raid Ia
pata county, Texas, 1t was believed by
Funston that II was a feint to draw
the fire" of the Americans. The ruse.
II was believed. was to induce Funston
to send re-enforcements from other
border points 10 Laredo, thereby leav-
ing Brigadier General Pershing open
to attack. However. word reached
Funston in time, that the advertised"
raid was a ruse, and instead OF con-
centrating the border guard Funston
sent to Laredo the Texas cavalry
squadron. leaving the border patrol in
tact.
Meanwhile General Alfredo Riquot,
Carranzista commander at Nueva La
redo, on the Mexican side. gave as
surance that he and his forces would
pursue Luis de Ia Rosa and his cocoon
spirator Pisano.
The Mexicans had rounded up
bunch of horses on Coleman's ranch,
when they were discovered by Conover
and Myers and a Mexican employe of
the ranch, who stampeded the animals.

SERIOUS PURPOSE IN RAIDS
Rapid Spread Of AntlAmerican senti-

General Pershine's Column.

Washington, June 13.-With 1900
additional regular troops ordered 20
the Mexican border and reports of the
rapid spread of anti-American feeling
continuing to come In from consuls
all over northern Mexico, administra-
tion officials made no attempt to dis
guise their uneasiness. 1t was OFF,
cially admitted that there Is growing
alarm over what the agitation may
produce and the possibility of an at
tack on General Pershing's expedition.
No case of attack on the persons Of
American residents in Mexico has
been reported. although there have
been one or two attacks on vacant
consulates and other American prop
erty.
Part of the increasing apprehension
here is due to the renewed raids In
the Laredo region Several reports
dealing with the situation there have
been received. Oficials declined to
reveal details. but they gave the i'm
preston of having reason to believe
. serious purpose was behind the ban
dit raid on the Coleman ranch.
Three raiders were killed and three
captured, one report said. They tried
to burn a railroad bridge near Lare.
do but failed, another report said.
The new force sent to join General
Funston's patrol, Secretary Baker
said, was to all in gaps in the guard
such as that near Laredo. 1t will be
composed of ten companies Of coast
artillery and q battalion of engineers.
The artillery men will be withdrawn
from Notifications between Portland,
Me-, and Sandy Hook, and the engin-
eers 60 from barracks In this city.
The secretary said there was no pres
emit intention Of calling out additional
national guard regiments for border
duty.
A message from Captain Burrage,
commanding the battleship Nebraska
at Vera Cruz, said there was consid.
cradle unrest in that region, due ap-
parently to the currency situation.
The state department, through Spe-
cial Agent Rodgers at the City Of
Mexico, has called the attention Of
the de facto government to the anti
American outbreaks which for nearly
two weeks have been spreading stead
lily. Many towns have held mass meet
ings and protested against the con-
tinued presence Of American troops
in Mexico.
Secretary Lansing still is at work
on his reply to the Carranza note de-
manding the withdrawal of American
forces. He again declined to discuss
1t in any respect.
