LOOK FOR A RAID
Big Bend Troops Prepared to
Repulse Villista Attack.
Starving Bandits Threaten to
Charge Across Border.
FOOD RIOTS IN PARRAL
Disease Threatens to Become

Herrera's Reported Resignation
Regarded as False RumOr.
BY f. S. JACOBS.

FL Paso, Tex. July 29.-Extra
heavy patrols of American troops are
along the border OF the Big Bend dis
trict. in anticipation of an attack by
a band of Villistas. L. F. Butrice,
ranchman of Terlingua, Tex, reported
to military authorities at Maria that
the bandits-200 strong-were mobil-
lied near Sierra Blanca Chihuahua,
about so miles south of the border.
They are starving, he declared, and
with no food in the district where they
are located, are planning a raid across
the border.
CASTOR is Prepared.
Upon receiving Butrice's report,
General George Bell. jjr., in command
here, telegraphed Colonel Joseph A
needed assistance. Colonel ,-aston
made this laconic reply:
I'VE wish they would attack us"
Should the Villistas invade Ameri-
can soil, Colonel CASTOR will hurl at
them the Sixth United States cavalry
which he commands, as we'll as = bat
talon each of the Tenth and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania militia on patrol duty in
his district.
A report which created a sensation
| in military circles here was that Cen
eral Luis Herrera, Carranza command
er at Parral, had resigned. Persistent
reports have been current recently
| that Herrera had been ordered by the
de facto government first chief to sup
plant General Jacinto Trevino at Chi
huahua City. Trevino's reply to this
order, 1t has been asserted, was that

mander Immediately he enters Chi
huahua-
Report Probably Fake.
Herrera's reported resignation was
brought to Juarez by MeXicans from
Chihuahua City. Andreas Garcia,
Mexican consul here, denied he had
received any notification of it and de
clared such a report probably was
false American military authorities,
however, are inclined to believe that
Herrera has resigned rather than obey
Carranza's order and face Trevino's
firing squad. If this proves true, it
is corroborative of reports given out
by the American war department that
Trevino has broken with the de facto
| government.

arrived from Parral with fresh ac-
counts of economic suffering in Mex

Food riots are daily occurrences in

to 40 cents a kilo, gold; corn beef is
selling at $3.50 silver. Everything
is drying up. The carcasses of horses

 With four whale boats launched, the party proceeded to salvage what they could from the wreck, and pro- visions of all sorts, bedding, per- sonal effects and sundries belonging to the trip were removed to St. Mathew island from the wrecked ship. The report that they lived on seal meat carried it's own refutation for any person who witnessed the work of unloading under the super intendence of T. M. Gloves at the Sesnon dock, the scow load of SUD- plies, food, and belongings that were taken on board the McCulloch at St. Mathew Island and landed in Nome yesterday. Yet in spite Of this, there is still an ample stock of provisions and supplies which will have to be later removed from the island.

SHIP WRECKED MARINERS ARE
 BROUGHT HERE BY CUTTER

The Coast Guard Cutter McCul. loch trim looking craft dropped anchor in the roadstead shortly after noon yesterday, having on board the marooned crew of the Great Bear, twenty-one in all, rescued from St. Mathew Island where the Great Bear was wrecked some seventeen days ago. All are well; suffered no hardship and lit tie privation of any kind.
 The Great Bear which was owned in partnership by Borden and Louis Lane was a fast boat reaching Un- alaska in ten days and sixteen hours after leaving Seattle July 25. The Great Bear then proceeded on it's passage through Boring Sea, direct ing it's course towards Mathew Is- land with the intention of hunting walrus off Hall island, at the north est end of St. Mathew island.
 At one o'clock in the morning of Thursday, August 10, in a fog which was thick as mush, the Great Bear tore across the reef surrounding Pinnacle rock tearing it's bottom, and shattering it's stern as it brought up with it's bowsprit about

The McCulloch was induced to search for the missing party when advices were sent to the Coast Guard steamer from Nome. After waiting two days from the first mo- tification of the missing steamer and the Great Bear still missing the McCulloch set out to search for the motorship, the captain shaping his course in the direction of St. Mathew island where they landed at ten o'clock Friday morning, and came upon the marooned party at three in the afternoon. They easily traced the shipwrecked party al- though they touched the island about six miles from the encamp- ment.
 Life on the wilds oT St. Mathew Island, notwithstanding the plenti- full supply of salvaged stores and supplies, was anything but a plea sant dream. With rod and gun they subsisted upon such 'luxuries as trout and snipe as a welcome change from their store supplies. But for all that, they had already started rigging up a launch with a view of making for St. Lawrence

zEPPS ALMOST GET
 LONDON POWER STATION

LONDON, Aug. 27.-It is officially stated that Zeppelins which raided the environs of London caused the death of nine and the injury of forty. Women and children as usu- al were heavy sufferers.
 The Zepps almost got the London Power station, several bombs being dropped in the outskirts of the plant which suffered some in the follow ing explosions.
 The raids were conducted during the night and all the Zeppelins got away. A heavy mist obscured the

island if the rescue party had not arrived on the McCulloch.
 It is likely that the Collector of Customs will send out the ship wrecked crew on the Northwestern, while Lane, Borden, Cloves as we'll as some of the rest of the officers will remain over for some time to attend to the business end of mat ters.
 By the way, as luck would have it, the cabin Lane erected some time ago on St. Mathew island was not in existence when the party got wrecked there. It was burned down by the orders of the commander of the Unalga some time previously, the island being one of those mys- terious bird reservations that adorn so many sections of Alaska.
 The Great Bear was a fine boat 137 feet long and 223 net tons. At the time of her striking the rocks, carried 525 tons. She was a motor ship fitted with Bolander engines of the latest type. She carried no insurance.

Some members are endeavoring to pair with opponents in order to get away to doubtful constituencies. The opportunity for political speeches is however too tempting in Congress as yet for many to yield to the demands of their lieutenants to come home and get busy.
 It is not likely that Congress will be in session after September 5th.

Time FOR SCHOOL LEVY
County Can Provide for $4,000 in
Penalties. Attorney Claims.

The refusal of the county commits
sioners to make a special levy to ham
die the school boards claim for $15,-
900 delinquent tax penalties, On the
ground that the levy has been made up
and it it now too late, is pure bosh, :"
according to John Schenck, attorney
for the school board.
AS evidence that the levy is not yet
made up, he cites the fact that the
school boards levy certificate is now
lying unmailed on the desk of the
clerk of the school board. According
to law the school board has until Au-
gust rs to make up its levy and in
that time the county has ample time
to make allowance for the claim in its
levy. The county cannot declare the
levy made until it has received the
school board levy.
1T is simply politics." Schenck de-
clares. Meanwhile the school board
will have to do without the money for
a year and the claim which will
eventually be allowed will be showed
onto the record of the new board

BREAKS HER PROMISE?
Great Britain Seizes Many Ships to
Holland in Violation of Agreement.

London, Aug. 11.-American ship
pers to Holland are bombarding the
British government with protests as a
result of detentions of cargoes con-
signed to The Netherlands overseas
trust. 1t is understood here their pro-
test may be backed by diplomatic &C.
ton at Washington. In April of last
year, replying to protest from Wash
ington over the detention of the
American steamship Seguranca the
foreign office made the following
promise:
while his majesty's government
does not require cargoes to be con-
signed to The Netherlands overseas
trust, they do accept a consignment in
that form as proof that the cargo is
intended for a bona fide consumption
in Holland"
This was widely circulated in the
United States not only in the press but
in circulars issued by British consul
ates and various chambers of COM
MERGE In the last two months between
35 and 40 consignments to The Meth
er1ands overseas trust have been held
up, some in bonded warehouses in
Holland, awaiting action while 9TH
ers have actually been placed in prize
court.
