While the diplomatic steps were in progress today, the nation was stirring throughout it's width and breadth with the movement of na- tionaI guardsmen mobiIizine to guard the border. At least 100000 and possibly a far larger mum Der were preparing for active ser vice under President Wilson's call. For the present, their mis- sion will be purely one of de fense; but should war come, they will be ready also for that. No marching orders for the new forces had gone out tonight. They will not be assigned to border duty until mustered into the federal service.
 Even when mobilization is com pleted, only such units will be or dered south as General Funston desires to fill the gaps in his 1900 mile guard line. The remainder will rest on their arms, and at the  state mobilization camps for the present, awaiting the turn of events.
 Official reports from many quar- ters show that a flame of popu- lar feeling against the the United States is being kindled through out Mexico. Apparently, it is be- ing done with the sanction of Gen. Carranza, for the acts in many cases are those of his authorized military and civil agents.
 From Juarez to the west coast of Mexico, posters have appeared calling the people to arms and as serting that the United States is preparing to hurl its armies into Mexico. Chaotic conditions pre- vail everywhere, it is said. Clashes

FUNSTON LOOKS FOR INDICATION

rRepubIicar A. P. Leased WIrel


 SAN ANTONIO, June 19.-While 100000 members of the militia were being mobilized today. General Fun ston anxiously studied the border, for any indication of hostility on the part of CarranZa's troops.
 Army officers along the Rio Grande from Brownsville to Fl Paso obtained what information they could concern ing the movements on the Mexican side both of bandits and government troops but no official report reached army headquarters here of any incl lent that apneared likely to disturb the delicately balanced relations be- tween the two countries.
 General Pers hing's reports indicated that General Jacinto Trevino's troops had not vet made any advance move and army officers believed it improb- able that they would, unless Trevino received special orders from Mexico City.
 Such information as reached Gen. Funston concerning the movements of Mexican troops indicated the adoption of q plan not to maintain heavy gar risons at border points but to hold the bulk of the border army some miles south of the Rio Grande.
 The garrison at Nuevo Laredo. Mex, Was strengthened by a mere handful of men, but at Lampazos. between La redo and Monterey there were held 5000 or 6.000 troops The garrison at Laredo tonight was less than 1000. At Piedras Negras, the Mexican town op- iosite Eagle Pass. the Mexican gar- rison has been busy leaving all day Tonight a considerable force was heavily armed. but the larger part had moved to points south. where they were incorporated with other bodies of troops.

 Meantime there was no lntlinaIoh that the ambassadors request would alter in any way the administrations plans for protecting Americans in Mex ican coast towns, which would involve sending marines and bluejackets ashore to bring off refugees should any emer- gency require it. More than score of American war vessels already are in Mexican waters, enroute there, or being held in readiness to go as refugee ships.

Governor of Sinaloa Takes Hostile Stand Against Americans in His State, Refusing to Allow Them to Board Annapolis.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN DIEGO. June 19.-An ulti- matum amounting practically to q declaration of war against the United States was served today on Com mander Arthur G. Kavanaugh, of the gunboat Annapolis, by General Flores, CarranZa governor of the state of Sinaloa, according to a radiogram sent from the Annapolis at Mazatlan and received here today by Admiral Winslow. commander in chief of the Pacific fleet.
 Owing to the low powered radio set of the Annapolis, difficulty has been experienced in communicating with the gunboat. but enough facts have come through to indicate that General Flores has taken a hostile stand against Americans and that it was his refusal to permit Americans to leave Mazatlan that resulted in the clash between the bluejackets of the Annapolis and Mexicans charac- terized as Carranza soldiers. The exact substance of his ultimatum has not yet been received.
 According to the reports received, tUe cOtnindnueT OI lIle AnfldpolIS du- vised all Americans in the vicinity of Mazatlan to leave as soon as pos sible A boat from the war vessel containing Ensign Q. O. Kessing, Paymaster Andrew Mowat. and a number of bluejackets approached the wharf, Ensign Messing being under orders from Commander KaYanagh to arrange with the Mexican authori- ties to get out all Americans.
 Without provocation, it is reported, the Mexicans opened fire on the sailors and Boatswain's Mate l. NJ. Laughter was seriously wounded The Americans returned the fire, and as far as known, six MeXicans were either killed or wounded.
 Earlier reports that a drunken Japanese started the trouble are noi borne out in reports received here Ensign Messing and Paymaster Mo wat were taken prisoners and sent to- the fortress, but later were re- leased on demands presented to Flores by Commander Kavanagh.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, June 19.- Tenseness in the international situ- ation along both sides of the border in the Brownsville district, recently looked on as the possible point of contact of hostilities between the United States and Mexico, rose and fell today with the arrival of each bit of news along the American side of the river.
 After Brigadier General James Parker announced he was confident that General Alfredo Ricaut would carry out his promises of assistance in exterminating the bandits along the lower Rio Grande border. Mev- jeans began repairing their damaged tracks on the international bridge, torn up during the excitement Satur- day night.
 Then came the news of the calling out of all state national guards, and the recall of Consul J. H. Johnson from Matamoros. Promptly, Mexi- cans operating from the south side of the river again tore up the rail- road tracks and for the second time built harricade of steel rails at a commanding point. just off the south end of the bridge.
 A number of American ranch own CTS in the state of Tamaulipas asked permission to visit their property on the Mexican side. It was granted with the proviso that they go un- armed. A few made the trip but shortly after returned 10 the Amer ican side

natic corps here have been able to satisfy themselves as to Car ranza's motives. There are some, however, who believe he hopes to ride into popularity by decided triumph over his powerful nation neighbor or upon a war wave which might reestabIish his totter- ing government in popular estima- ton. Once the war was on, and the certain defeat of his armies foreshadowed. these observers say, General Carranza might sue for peace, trusting to the magnanim- ity of the Washington government to leave him in power.

 The men will be held at state mo- biliZation points until mustered into the federal service If the entire force is not immediately desired for border service, the units not sent south prob ably will be granted furlough.
 It is certain. however, that the en- tire force, the minimum strength of which will be upward of 100000 men. will be held under arms for two weeks or a month while the process of mastering into the federal service and of equipment are being worked out.

As there were no planes here it was reported that this was a military machine belonging to the de facto Mexican troops, sent to reeonnoiter over Douglas. The theories were ex- ploded when it was learned that the 'aeroplane' was a large box kite sent up in course of an experiment by the signal corps at Camp Harry J. Jones mile east of Douglas.

such as that between Mexican troops and American bluejackets at Mazatlan yesterday show that relations are strained to the break ing point. The act of subordinate commander anywhere may bring on fighting that will result in war.

Sonora Citizens Armina

DOUGLAS. Ariz.. June 19.-Adolfo de la Huerta, governor of Sonora, is- sued the orders under which the civil population of the state are arming themselves, according to Americans reaching here today from Naco, who were in Cananea Saturday night and listened to the reading of the official message in a theater De La Huerta is said to have used strong language in urging the Mexicans to make haste to prepare to meet the American forces.
 From the same source it is learned that the demonstration of Saturday night at Cananea was even more vio- lent than was indicated by the first reports. Many Americans were at a dance and these were herded to their homes like cattle. Others were stopped on the street by armed guards who menaced them with drawn pistols and rifles while they searched them for money. num- Der of shots were fired at the homes of Americans. Armed guards stood watch over the homes of many of them throughout the night.
 There are approximately $50 Amer jeans in Cananea, according to the most reliable information obtainable here. The problem of getting them out of Mexico without creating more bitter feeling among the Mexicans Is a trying one. The departure of the Americans would mean the closing down of the smelter and mines of the Cananea- Consolidated Copper com pany the Democrata Mining company and other smaller properties and the complete paralysis of a community ! of 10000 persons.
