Scott and '0bregOn Resume
Conference on Border

1
| Ell PASO, Tex, May 11.-Negotia-
tions looking toward a settlement of
the American-Mexican military questions
were resumed at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
The conference was attended by Ma
jor Generals Scott and Funston, repre-
senting the United States, and General
Alvaro Obregon, minister of war, OF
the defacto government, and Juan n.
Amador sub-secretary of foreign ar
fairs in Mexico. The conference was
held in General SCOTS private car.
General Funston desires to strengthen
the border patrol by mounting two
| thousand infantrymen on Texas ponies.
The general plans to make this recon-
mendation to Secretary Baker because
the available forces of cavalry for patrol
have become practically exhausted.
General Funston points out that Texas
ponies are suited for patrol work, as
they can live on the scanty grass along
the border.
General Funston believes that Major
Langnorne, whose troops of the Eighth
cavalry were we'll over the Rio Grande
into Mexico today, has a good chance Of
overtaking part of the bandits that raid
ed Glenn Springs.
ed down wagons with their loot and
thought this would retard their retreat.
NO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
General Obregon and Juan n. Amador,
sub-secretary of foreign affairs, have no
misunderstanding of the position of the
| American representatives. They have
been told that they came here to dis
cuss cooperation Of American and Mex
| lean troops in Mexico and not the with
drawal of the American forces.
To the Carranza representatives coun-
ter proposals that they agree to a time
| limit for the withdraw of the forces.
General Scott said he was not empower
ed to talk of that phase of the situation.
The Mexican officers also were informed
that an immediate withdrawal of Gen
| eral Pershing's force was out of the
question.
Whether General Obregon was pre-
pared to yield enough to justify further
delay in the negotiations here could not
be ascertained before the meeting be-
gan. He said that he was not contem-
plating the placing of his signature to
anything at this meeting, but added
more progress had been made. however,
at previous conferences. Yes, we have
advanced a little he said.
There was manifested a feeling in
some quarters that General Oregon
was ready to yield more than he indi-
Gated, however. He was in telegraphic
communication with Carranza last night
and those closely identified with Mexi-
can interests expressed the opinion that
he might be authorized to give in at
the last minute.
knowledge that American troops
crossed into Mexico yesterday near the
scene of the raid of last Friday night
appeared to create no great interest on
the Mexican side of the river

GRADES IN MEXICAN ARMY
From Visit Paid Her by Oetach-
ment Of Viiiistas.

Some years ago a humorous story
went the rounds of the newspapers,
about young lady who. at gather
American Revolution, held her head
exceedingly high. explaining her
naughty demeanor on the ground that
she was descended from bona tide
private soldier-the only private. she
was convinced, in the Revolutionary
hosts. The following incident would
seem to indicate that the Mexicans
who are fighting today are almost as
well officered" as the patriot army of
the young lady's lively fancy.
An American woman-now safe in
the states-writes that five soldados of
the Villista following one day rode in.
to her remote mountain camp. They
were very decent fellows, and made no
threats; still, in the absence Of her
husband, 1t seemed only wise to give
them plenty of food and drink. also to
yield gracefully to the request OF one
OF the number, who said he was the
captain, for the loan" of blanket.

their hostess paused in her distribu.
tion OF blankets.

this entire detachment composed OF
captains?"
"Oh. no. senora!" replied the one
who had first spoken. II am Captain

that is Captain Tercero. Those"-in.

And at this the admiring sonora, &c.
cording to her own account, at once

The fire had gone out. Peabody re-
built It, He came in an hour later,
and studied the silent man at the desk
for long minute. and then he decided
an important question for himself. He
brought in Allison's dinner on tray
and set it on a corner OF the desk.
At eleven Peabody came in again. to
see If Allison were not ready to go to
bed; but Allison sent him away as
soon as he had fixed the fire. The tray
was untouched, and out there in the
dim moonlight, which peered now and
then through the shifting clouds. the
long-armed willow beckoned and
beckoned.
Morning came. cold and gray and
damp as the night had been. Allison
had fallen asleep towards the dawn,
sitting at his desk with his heavy
head on his arms, and not even the
clatter of the building of the fire
reused him. At seven when Peabody
came, Allison rose up with start
at the opening of the door, but before
he glanced at Peabody. he looked out
of the window at the willow.
"Good-morning," said Peabody. with
a cheerfulness which sounded oddly
in that dim. bare room. 81 brought
you the paper. and some fresh eggs.
There was little touch OF frost this
morning, but 1t went away about time
for sun-up. How will you have your
eggs? Fried. l suppose. after the
steak. Seems like you don't have
much appetite" and he scrutinized the
untouched tray with mingled regret
and resentment. Since Allison paid
no attention to him, he decided on
eggs fried after the steak, and started
for the door.
Allison had picked up the paper me-
chanically. 1t had lain with the top
part downwards. but his own picture
was In the center. He turned the pa
per over, so that he could see the
headlines.
