MORE UNEASINfSS ALONG THE BORDER
Reports of Anti-American Demon strations Pour in and l.500 More Troops Are Being Sent to
 Mexican Border.

Washington, June i2.-With i.500 more American soldiers ordered to Mexican border tonight and reports of the rapid spread of anti-Ameri- can feeling continuing to pour in from consuls all over Northern Mex leo, administration officials made no attempt to diguise their uneasiness, It was officially admitted that there was a growing alarm over what the agitation may produce and the pos sibility of an attack on General Pershlng's expedition.
 Part of the increasing apprehen- sion here is due to the renewed raids in the Laredo region. Several re- ports dealing with the situation there have been received. Officials decline to reveal details. but they gave the impression of having req son to believe a serious purpose was behind the bandit raid on the Cole man ranch. Three raiders were killed and three captured, one re- port said, adding that they attempt ed to burn a railway bridge near LuItuO Uul ldtltus
 To Fill in Gaps.
 The new force sent to join Gen eral Eunston's border patrol, Secre- tary Baker said, was to fill in gaps in the guard such as that near La redo. It will be composed of 10 companies of coast artillery and a battalion of engineers. The garri- sons will be withdrawn from forti- cations from Portland Me. to Sandy Hook. The secretary said there was no present national guard regiments for border duty.
 General Mann, commanding at Laredo. reported today that a patrol of three cavalrymen was fired on during the night of June 10 from the town of Hachita, and Private w. L. Saunders. Troop K, Twelfth cavalry, wounded
 Two mounted Mexicans, who did the firing, escaped.
 The state department, through Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico City, has called the attention of Car ranza to the anti-Ameriean out breaks which for the past two weeks have been spreading rapidly. Many towns have held mass meetings and protested against the continued presence ok American troops in Mexico. In two or three instances Americon property has been at tackled, but no threats against the lives of Americans have been re- ported
 Where his regular troops are in control aDDaPentlv Carranza has earnestly tried in most cases to pre- vent the holding of protest meetings, and Tn some places contemplated meetings and parades have been prevented
 There are instances. however. where the troops appear to have stood idly by while agitators stirred up antagonism against the United States.
 Inspiration Uncertain.
 Officials have been unable to de- termine the inspiration behind the sudden outbreak of anti-American feeling or to estimate the ability of Carranza to protect American lives and property. They feel that the real danger lies in the possible ac- ton of irregular forces, now under the Carranza banner. but whose commanders yield only doubtful all legiance to the central government.
 Because of the economic condi- tions in Mexico officials feel that the responsibility of serious trouble is enhanced The situation Is acute and the people are restless and cas- ilU gtirspp1 fn Onfhpanl lfa

HUGHES ALLIANCE ! REVIVED IN EAST
organization Is Composed of Re- publicans, Democrats and Inde- pendentS-Nominee Visits Tn
 New York.

New York, June i2.-The first or sanned political move in the fur therance of the campaign for the election of Charles E. Hughes was announced Monday upon the arriy- al of the Republican candidate here from Washington.
 It was the revival of the Hughes alliance, an organization of Repub- licans, Democrats and Independent voters, which came into existence during the second campaign of Mr. Hughes for governor of New York in 1908. The announcement was made by Travis H. Whitney public service commissioner.
 Mr. Whitney accompanied the presidential candidate to the Hotel Ast0r, where MT. Hughes established his headquarters. He said that the same men who were identified with the Hughes alliance had decided to Set together to work in New York state for his election, probably un- der the name of the Hughes non- partisan league. The organization. he said, would cooperate with the regular Republican organization.
 Silent on Specific Plans.
 T have nothing to say on poli- ties at this time, said Mir. Hughes, greeting newspaper men. I have come here to make my plans for the summer" This was in response 10 question as to whether he would see Colonel Roosevelt dur ing his stay here.
 MT. Hughes admitted there was certain important matters to dis euss but efforts to learn at this time what his specific plan was proved futile.
 His presence on the train that brought him from Washington was unknown to all but few of his fell low passengers. When he left the train he attracted no attention but aboard the ferry was recognized by commuters. They made no demon stratiOn.

IHEODOHE ROOSEVELT.
 Is Out of Politics.

Oyster Bay. N. Y., June f0.-When Colonel Roosevelt summoned the newspaper correspondents to Sag amore hill at o'clock tonight to- tell them he had tentatively refused the Progressive nomination for the presidency, he had nothing to add to what he had said in his telegram to the convention at Chicago in regard to his present position.
 He told, however, of the steps which led up to his message early in the day suggesting that the Re- publicans and prOgressives unite on Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as a compromise candidate. At o'clock this morning he said one Republi- can and two Progressive conferees on the joint conference committee called him over the long distance telephone to explain the situation as it then stood.
 Colonel Roosevelt informed them at that time that he intended to suggest the joint nomination of Sen- ator Lodge. All three conferees, he said. seemed at that time to be agreed that such a step would be satisfactory. He declined to name the Republican member of the com mittee other than to say that he had been a supporter of Hughes.
 Won't Make Comment
 Colonel Roosevelt sent his tele- gram of refusal to the progressiyes before he had read Justice Hughes statement. Later when asked if he had any comment to make upon Hughes statement, he replied:
 Not a word mot a word about anything"
 Colonel Roosevelt said he proba- bly, would have no further state ment to make until after the Pro- gressive national committee gets to- gether to determine what attitude 1t will assume in regard to Justice Hughes candidacy CT learns some thing further in regard to the Re- publican nominees position on the dueseons Colonel Roosevelt con- siders the most important now be- fore the country.
 After he had ended his talk with the correspondents, Roosevelt was asked by a photographer to sten out on the lawn that new picture might he taken of him.
 No picture" the colonel stated emphatieally; T am out of politics.

ROOSEVELT WILL
 NOT MAKE RACE
Declines to Accept Nomination for Presidency From Progressives at This Time-Says He Is Out
 of Pelities-N0 Comment.

During the closing hours of the Progressive convention in Chicago Saturday, message was received from Theodore Roosevelt declining to accept the nomination for the Presidency. The message was short and in the confusion of the closing Of the convention it's significance was scarcely grasped by the dele gates as they poured out of the hall.
 Before they left the hall the dele- gates remembered one of the es- sentlals of campaign In response to the speaker of the leaders they promised more than SS0.000 to car py on the fight. It was pledged in enthusiasm and the contributions tnmbled i'll almost as fast as they could be recorded
 Roosevelts Answer.
 Mir. Roosevelt's message is as fol- lows.
 To the Progressive Convention:
 T am very grateful for the honor you confer upon me by nominating me as president. l cannot accept it at this time. l do not know the at titude of the candidate of the Re- publican party toward tthe vital questions of the day. Therefore if you desire an immediate decision, must decline the nomination. But if your prefer 1t, suggest that my conditional refusal to run be placed in the hands of the Progressive na- tional committee. If Mir. Hughes statements when he makes them shall satisfy the committee that 1t is for the best interest of the coun- try that he be elected, they can act accordingly and treat my refusal as definitely accepted If they are not satisfied they can so notify the Progressive party and at the same time they can confer with me and then determine on whatever action we may severally deem appropriate to meet the needs of the country.
