SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May 90
General Funston will hasten the re-
arrangement Of American troops on the
border In anticipation Of new attacks by
Mexican bandits, encouraged by the with
drawal of part Of General Pershing's ex-
pedition and the spreading of reports
in Mexican territory that the gringoes
have been driven back" The general
was disappointed when he learned the
return of the 9Th Cavalry at Columbus
had been made public. His intention
was not to announce this movement
until the troopers had reached their
bases In the Big Bend district where
coast artillery forces are also being
sent.
Ell PAso. Tex, May 2O.--Troops Of the
18th U. S. Infantry have been ordered out
OF Mexico to take UP border patrol duty
and within a few DAYS will follow the 9Th
Cavalry back across the international boun-
dary line. This was learned today. while
the 6th Cavalry camped at Columbus. await
Ing the orders that will take II into the Big
Bend district
Inc Langhorne-Sibley expedition is also
coming back to the border. Major Lang
horne's weary riders. after going 135 miles
into Mexico. drew back to FL Pino 10 miles
from the border. and effected a junction
with Colonel Slbley's main force. AS soon
as scattered detachments arrive at El Pine,
the return to the border will begin.
The fact that some American troops are
leaving Mexico has already encouraged the
Vlllistas, and the long-sought "Pancho'
himself is supposed to have taken the field
again In the district around Parral and Chi
huahua. To this fact Is attributed a sud
den tightening of the military censorship
at Columbus. All news from General
Pershing's main forces is concealed.
