tinued 70 pass through FL Paso during
the night and early today, most of them
being bound for unannounced points
west along the frontier. Among these
were the trains of the Connecticut
guard. There were indications that the
original orders as to the disposition of
the militiamen had been materially al
tered. so as to strengthen the weaker
points along the border, some of the
troops originally ordered to FL Paso be-
ing diverted to other points.
Five trains carrying the Pennsylvania
national guard organizations have been
expected here hourly for several days,
but whether they have been diverted
elsewhere or are being delayed pur-
poseIy TO prevent confusion heer during
the heavy influx Of militiamen, could not
be learned, because Of the military cen
sorship on troop movements.
Reports that an American border
guard at Sierra Blanca, ninety-two miles
east of here, had been killed last night
by firing from the Mexican side, were
declared unfounded today after an In
vestigation of military authorities.
