FL Paso, Texas.--Gen. Funston has
directed thorough investigation Of a
report that Mexican consuls north of
the border have notified their people
there will be hostilities within the next
few weeks.
The report grows out of the demand
that all Mexicans in the United States
register at the consulates. In El Paso

failed to comply with the proclamation
have been listed and are being visited
by Representatives of the Carranza gov

Consul Garcia is said to have told in
Inmates the main purpose of the regis
tration was to ascertain with which
side the sympathies of the Mexicans
residing in the United States would be
in the event of an uprising.
The American military authorities
are greatly exercised over the activi-

call political incendiarism.

U. S. WARNS GREAT BRITAIN.
Detention Of Mails Must stop--Wash
Ington Note Declares Our Rights

Washington.-The United States, de-
nouncing interference with neutral
mails, has notified Great Britain and
France that 1t can no longer tolerate
the wrongs which American citizens
have suffered and continue to suffer
through the "lawless practice" these
governments have INDUCED in, and that
only radical change in policy. restorS
ing the United States to its full rights
as a Neutral power, will be satisfae-
tory.
This notification is given in the lat!
est American communication to the
two governments, the text Of which
has been made public by the state de-
partment The time in which the
change must be effected is not speci-
fled, but the United States expects @.
prompt action.
Serious and vexatiou" abuses which
have been perpetrated by the British
and French governments in seizing and
censoring neutral mails are reoited in
the communication, and answers are
made to the legal arguments contained
In the reply OF the entente govern
ments to the first American note on
the subject. It is vigorously set forth
that not only have American CONNER
cial interests been injured, but that
the rights of property have been VIC
lated, and the rules of International
law and custom palpably disregarded.
Notice is served that the United States
win soon press claims against the Brit
ish and French governments for the
losses which already have been sus

"Reminiscences has been filed by
the Independent Life Insurance Com.
pany OF America TO the bill for receiv.
er filed recently in chancery court
here.
The bill denies that the company
was not holding funds to secure in
vestments to an amount equal TO the
net value Of the other obligations;
that its property was not at all times
under the control Of the board Of di.
rectors, or that 1t was making publ.
cations in which in computing its LA

lowed for its annual statement to the
department. 1t was also denied that
section l of chapter 100 of the acts of
1895 was violated.
The purchase Of the Independent
Life building is explained, the state.
ment being made that Paul Roberts
gave to the insurance company, with
out any consideration, 231 shares Of
the common stock and So shares Of
the preferred stock of the Corner Real
ty Company, from which the building
was purchased The actual cost in
cash to the company for half inter.

200 CIVILIANS WERE KILLED
Reports TO San Antonio Say Mexican
Rebels Heaped lndIonltles on

San Antonio, Texas.-More than 200
civilians were slaughtered between
Mexico City and Cuernayaca, three
weeks ago. according to private adj
vices received here May rs. Rebels
operating between Cuernayaca and
Mexico City attacked a train on which
government employees were sent to as
sumo the governmental work In Cuer-
nayaca, retaken by the de facto gov
eminent forces few days before. On
the train were many women, wives and
daughters OF employees. Almost all OF
them were reported to have been sub

Of them were killed.
The tain was wrecked south Of Tres
Marias, on heavy grade. The attack
ing force overwhelmed the little guard
and continued pouring into the cars q
heavy fire, which those who leaped
from the doors and windows were
brought down as they attempted to es-
cape into The brush. Only one man,

MILITIAnEN ARE REPORTING
state Troopers Who Did Not Join Cob
ore on First Call VIII Not BE
Courtmartlaled.

San Antonio.-Apparently no court
martial of Texas militiamen win be
held because OF their failure to join
the colors when the federal call came,
for the gratifying reason that there
will be no one to court-martial.
Most Of the men who refused at
first to report for muster are already
in the service" said Gen. Funston, and
the others are sending collect mes
sages to me asking for transportation
to come on and join the federal serv-
ice. So far as l know but one recalci-
trant militiaman still remains, and his
mother is working on him"
A plan has been worked out for re-
cruiting for the companies Of the Texas
regiments which, II successful, will
double the numerical strength Of those
organizations and give Gen. Funston
approximately 1000 men for this arm
OF the three regiments of infantry and
battalion of cavalry at government ex-
pense to seek recruits. They will have
authority to recruit to the full war
strength of $50 men to the company.
At present few of the companies are
much above the minimum peace
strength of 65 men. 1t is known that
in some Of the towns recruits will be
easily obtained. !
So great is the confusion as to the
Interpretation to be placed on sections
of the Dick law that there is still doubt
whether the Texas regiments now in
the federal service could be legally
taken into Mexico. Gen. Funston said
that If the exigencies required such
service the Texas regiments probably
would be taken over under a call for
volunteers that would entirely end
their status as national guardsmen.
AS it stands now, they being Only
militiamen temporarily in the federal
service. II that service should be ter
minated these regiments would remain
units OF the Texas national guard. :
