|RST LEGAL
Exc CU 7 10 n
Of MEX|CANS
IS PENALTY FOR THE AMERICAN
LIVES LOST IN BORDER RAIDS,
SET FOR TODAY, IF GOVERNOR
DOES NOT INTERVENE.

irst legal execution of alleged Mex
can bandits, as penalty for the Am
,rican lives lost in the border raids
IN the Brownsville country last sum
mer and fall, was set for today, with
he hanging of Jose Buenrostro, aged
%, and Mclquaides Chapa, aged %,
MeXicans, convicted of the killing Of
\. l.. Austin and his son Charles
Austin was president of the Law and
Order League at Sebastian, Cameron
county.
The Mexicans were indicted for
murder on March 81, and were found
guilty and sentenced to death about
three weeks later.
The crime for which the two men
were convicted was one Of the out
standing events in the border raids
in which civilians only were con-
cerned. On August G, 1915, when the
so-called Texas Revolution" alleged
to have been directed by Aniceto Pi-
zana, now in Matamoros, Mexico,
county Jail, and his partner, Luis de
la Rosa, was about to reach It's
height Mexican marauders raided the
little town of Sebastian, near Lyford.
There were fourteen in the party.
They looted the general store, and
amid firing from citizens, escaped TO
the country districts. They went to
the Austin home, several miles away
and. forcing them to deliver their
arms, shot and killed the elder Austin
and his son.
Had the men not for some un
known reason, spared the lives oi
Elmore Millard, r. L. Smith, and I
!. Alexander, all residing in Sebas
tian or vicinity, and all of whom the
Mexicans had as completely in theil
power as the Austins, Chapa and
Buenrostro probably never would
have gone to trial. The testimony
offered by them was considered
weighty.
Chapa and Buenrostro were arrest
ed in November on charges of theft
1t was not suspected at the time that
they were implicated in the border
raids. At the time of the arrests
thirteen other MeXicans were held
in the Cameron county Jail in con
nection with the raids.
Millard, Smith and Alexander were
asked by the sheriff to visit the jail,
and identify if possible, any of the
thirteen OF those, it was said, they
were familiar with none. However,
Millard and Smith, officers declared,
recognized Buenrostro and Chapa.
and Alexander said he remembered
the former as the Mexican who ritled
the cash drawer in the Sebastian
general store. At the trial, both
Mexicans attempted to prove alibis.
Unless Governor Ferguson should
intervene, the executions set for to-
day will be the second and third
legal hangings in Cameron county.
The first was in 1882 when Qulrino
Guitan paid the death penalty for the
murder of a hack driver.

GERMANY ANGLING FOR
 PEACE SAYS LONDON

LONDON, April 15.-Little at tention is paid the alarmist reports cabled from America to the effect that an ultimatum may be delivered Germany. The papers here point out that even now Germany is sng- ling for peace and all the Entente Powers have been sounded with a view of finding out the maximum and minimum of their terms. This is admitted as correct in officia' circles although German agents have been so careful of all moMments that their real purpose could hot be detected.
 The situation here amounts tC this that the practical determina tion to continue the war indefinitely is hold by all authorities, ald while some radical sentiment is opposing the war now as it opposed it before, and conscription has met with mucn unpopularity in the same circles, the vast majority have schoolcd them selves to the necessity of an inde-

 The explosion came entirely without warning, the captain says, and on one aboard the big ship had the faintest notion that submarine was in the vicinity. A close watch was maintained during the latter stages of the voyage but as the weather was murky with frequent fog banks obscuring the view, the subma- rine was enabled to approach un- perceived. The fifth member of the crew who lost his life was the chief steward, who was drowned while leaving the ship when she finally foundered.

 WASHINGTON, May To- Germany's new note acknowl cdging responsibility for the de struction of the steamer Sussex, promising full reparation and an nouacing the punishment of the submarine commander was re ccived late today. The text of he note was at once made pub ic and reveals that Germany, while contending that the sub marine commander acted in the 5ona hde belief that he was fac ing an enemy warship when he torpedoed the Sussex . never the less says that he formed his judg- mcnt to hurriedly and did not net in strict accordance with his Instructions, and the imperial government, therefore, frankly admits that the assurances given he United States were not ad hered to ill this instance.
 The note expresses sincere re gret for the deporable incident and declares Germany's readi- ness to pay a1 adequate indemni- ty to injured American citizens. It also says the German govern ment disapproves of the conduct of the commander who has been appropriately punished and voices the hope that the United States vii consider the case set tied.
