Mexicans Mass at Lomas.

Nogales, Ariz.-Reports that Mexi- can troops had arrived at Lomas, four miles south of Nogales, with seven pieces of artillery, and that several thousand Mexican cavalry had been massed in a position to threaten the Santa Cruz Valley caused wives of army officers attached to the 1,500 reg ulars here to prepare to leave Tor northern points.
 Army officers in Nogales, in no way alarmed, are preparing for possible Mexican cavalry raid tip the Santa Cruz Valley between Nogales and Tue. son. It is pointed out that all Sono' ra faces starvation, if the border re- mains closed to food supplies and that foray into this section probably would result.
 Gen. Gomez is now at Fronteras with several thousand cavalry. Resi- dents here expressed alarm over the fact that Col Aguirres' command of 1,500 men, reported to have passed Lomas en route to Cananea, had not yet been heard from in that direc- tion.
 Reports that Gen. Estrada is on his way from Sinaloa to Magdalena with about 5000 troops and that Magdalena, 54 miles south of the border, is to be the readquarters of Gen. P. Elias Gales. are given eredence here.

Miss Emily and Her Store.

On the right side of the store, both in the counter and on the shelves be- hind it, were the notions-spools, needles, calico, garter elastic and a hundred other things your mother was always wanting; while on the left side were kept marbles, paper soldiers, lead soldiers, slingshot elastic, air guns, bows and arrows, slates, whistles, school pencils, compasses, paint boxes and hundred other things you were always wanting Miss Emily sat strategically at the rear of the store, and did not move till she knew for cer- tain what 1t was you were after. Now adays this would be called efficiency. In those days our parents called it crankiness. When Miss Emily took your pennies for an "aggie" or snap per" or big glass pepper" she did so sternly, and she always examined them closely as if she expected counter feits. She never smiled sweetly on you, and called you "sonny" or little boy" She never smiled at all.-At- lantic.

Salt Mountains.

Several hills of rock salt exist in Al geria. One of these, near Jelfa, is 300 feet high and nearly mile across. In spite of the soluble character Of the material of which 1t is composed, it stands up in high relief from the sur rounding clay, without any signs of erosion. There are in it, however, sink holes, into which the torrential winter rain soaks, being at once absorbed and given out again at the base of the mountain in the form of salt springs.

Fl Paso, Texas.-A detachment of American cavalry clashed with Car ranza forces at Carrizal, about 90 miles south of El Paso, both sides suffering heavy casualties, according to unofficial reports received by Mex lean military authorities in Juarez
 According to the report, which the 40 Americans were killed by machine gun fire in a surprise attack. The Mexican casualties were said not to have been so heavy, but Gen. Felix Gomez is named as being among the Mexican dead
 The American command is said to have been part of scouting patrol from Guzman returning to Gen Per shing's line of communication. Car rizal, named as the place of the en- counter, is about nine miles southwest of Villa Ahumada, the Mexican field base in Northern Chihuahua.
 Gen. Francisco Gonzales made the following statement:
 Immediately upon learning of the presence of the American troops in the vicinity of Carrizal, Gen. Felix Gomez dispatched messenger with a request that the American commander withdraw his camp. When the Amer ican troops remained motionless he sent second dispatch bearer. who was fired upon by the American troops 1.o 1of; +; The Americans immediately moved forward and attacked Gen. Gomez command
 Prisoners to Chihuahua.
 The prisoners were sent to Chi huahua City with the customary pro- lection"
 Gen. Gonzales said that the report of the engagement was made to him by Lieut.-Col. Gnoveso Rivas, who succeeded to the command of the Car. ranza troops with the fall of Gen Gomez.
 Later Gen Francisco Gonzales, Mex ican commander at Juarez, gave out a statement in which he announced officially that the Mexican command had taken 17 American prisoners. He also said that Gen. Gomez's death had been confirmed, but said he had nc official reports as to the number of cas- ualties on either side. The wounded both American and Mexican, the ex act number of whom is not known here, were taken to Villa Ahumada.
 Gen. Bell, who was first informed of the fight by Mexican Consul Garcia said that no military action would be taken in Ell Paso while orders were awaited from Gen. Funston. In tht meantime, he said, his forces were ready for any demonstration from the other side of the Rio Grande.
 Gen. Bell said there was no ques tion but that fight had taken place but was inclined to disbelieve the re port that any Americans had beer taken prisoner.

No Intervention Plan.

Even with the call for militia, how ever. 1t was declared emphatically there was nothing to indicate that in tervention plans are being considered. Stress was laid in every official quar- ter on the fact that only defensive measures were in progress and it was reasserted that if hostilities between the two governments are to follow they will come only from acts of the Mexican officials.
 oenator Sheppard of Texas received a telegram from residents of San Be nito and the lower Rio Grande valley asking tha- the federal government furnish them with arms and ammuni- tion for use in protecting themselves anu their property. The request was submitted to the War Department, with a suggestion by the senator that it be granted. Colonel Bullard, com manding force of American troops near San Benito, is said to have ad- vised the citizens to take steps to pro tect themselves.

cd in diplomatic circles that foreign agents in Mexico believe Villa to have been stricken with paralysls as q result of wounds received during or after the Columbus raid. He is said to be hiding in the hills, and the ln- timtaion that Carranza officials could put their hands on him in few days if they so desired.
 Conuress to Take Hand.
 The Mexican situation is certain to come up in Congress when the two houses resume active business.
 To defray expenses of mobilizing the National Guard and maintaining it in the federal service, emergency appropriations will be needed immedi- ately. Congress granted the War De partment liberal emergency funds be- cause of the border situation some time ago. These are virtually gone now, and Secretary Baker probably will submit largely increased esti- mate within a few days. No official would hazard a guess as to the sum that might be needed.
 Policy Is Unchanged.
 Summed up, the situation as to Mex ico was this:
 President Wilson's policy is un- changed, although he has taken the last possible step short of calling for volunteers to defend the border. Amer ican troops are in Mexico for that pur- pose and for that purpose only. This has been stated over and over again by MT. Wilson and now has been affirmed by the Democratic platform upon which he will seek reelection. The platform also states, however, that the troops are to remain in Mexico un- til the defacto government uses it's military forces to police the border re. zion so thoroughly that renewed raid, ing is improbable.
 The government has little faith in the assurances of General Carranza that he is able to do this. Raiding has increased rather than diminished since additional Mexican troops were ordered into Chihuahua and other northrn states. It has been made plain, officials said, that only American troops could be counted on to safe guard American interests on the bor- der.

A Game of Bluff.

Some officials here have been in clined to look upon the Carranza note and many of his other more or less hostile actions as attempts to placate the radical anti-American elements in Mexico, without actually bringing on hositilities with the United States. They declare the Mexican government has gone to the limit each time, but always fallen just short of the word or act that would have made a clash certain. These officials believe Car ranza is playing game of bluff and that much as he may hate Villa, the direct cause of the present situation, he dare not attempt to capture the bandit and turn him over to the United States for punishment, because he fears to make national hero and martyr of his former ally against Hu- erta. In this connection it was learn

that was to be run had been the sub

betting. 1T was set to be run at Dem

Friday the sprinters, a Mexican and
an American, clad in sprinting shorts
and spiked shoes, and followed by a
crowd of 200 or 800 circus employees.
went to the fair grounds. laid out a
100-yard course on the drive just in
side the fair grounds, and pulled the
race.
The Mexican gave the American a
handicap of fifteen feet and beat him
about ten feet. Mexican joe" tea-
tured in the concert, was master OF
ceremonies. The runners were sent
away to revolver shot, and the win
ner was lifted on the shoulders of his
followers and given a noisy ovation.
The baseball crowd was just too late
to see the race, which was being run
just as the amphitheater crowd was
leaving the grand stand.
