to bring any unusual excitement to
Mexican s principal seaport. The native
residents are optimistic The refugees
unite in declaring the crowds which
greeted them at railroad stations on
their trip here were fairly courteous.
Out in the harbor today the battleship
Nebraska was lying peacefully at anch-

aboard The Nebraska 3 officers have
cndeared themselves to the refugees by
their hospitality, but they are mighty
anxious for the arrival of transport
which will relieve them of the civilians

expected within "a or IS hours.

Meantime war department activity
centered In getting militia troops for
border service. Ten thousand men,
gathered from the central and western
departments, will leave soon as they

The administration position up to
early today tended to class the Carrizal
incident with the now forgotten Parral
clash and the more recent unproyoked
attack ON American sailors at Mazat-
Ian.
The source Of real trouble in the Car
rial affair apparently remaining is the
fact that American prisoners are still
held in Mexican custody. As for Car
rama himself, administration men have
reason to believe he is trying to get
his men in line and avoid hostilities. On
the other haind the attitude Of his gen.
erals is mnnifestly unpleasant. Gen
eral Treyino's reported approval Of the
Carrizal clash and his announcement
/ that he would take similar action again
in the same circumstances was regard
ed here a. indicative Of threatening
trend of events perhaps beyond Car

All Americans If WarShip

Galveston, Texas, June 23.-Twenty-
nine Americans and one Englishman,
refugees from Tuxpam, who arrived
here on the steamer San Ricardo today
corroborated reports that Mexican Of
ficials in Yucatan have publicly said
that a state Of war exists between the
United States and Mexico. The Car
rama commander at Txpam declared,
according TO the refugees, that fighting
already has begun without the formality
of declaration of war.
Hand bills circulated by Mexican
military authorities called upon Mex
leans of all factions to unite to resist
invasion by the United States Bulletins
were posted, announcing a great victory
for the Mexican forces at Brownsville
when an American force attempted to
cross the Rio Grande. The Americans
were reported to have lost heavily in
lives and equipment. The refugees said
the authorities in Tuxpam declared they
would kill every American in the city
if warship appeared off the port.
Nineteen more refugees are expected
from Tuxpam on another ship.

SPIES ARE
ARRESTED ON BORDER

Each Other

Columbus, N. NJ, June 23.-Spies for
the de faetO government have been
watching the shipment of troops and
supplies at the Columbus base. One sus-
pect is under arrest today and several
others are being watched. A German
who lived in Mexico City many years
and came here since the Villista raid,
is under surveillance. The others are
ostensibly peaeeable Mexican residents
of the town.
A quantity of note books and papers,
covered with notations, were found on
the person of Apdres SandOval, the
Mexican taken into custody yesterday.
Many Mexican families fled from
Columbus into Mexico simultaneously
with the disappearance of 40 Carran-
zista soldiers composing the customs
guard at the border three miles south.
As result Of the spy scare, more
vigorous precautions than ever were
put into effect in the base camp here.
The arsenal containing millions Of
rounds of ammunition was the object
of the principal protective measures.
(Deleted by censor.) Outposts have
been strengthened and stationed farth-
er out from camp. Rules governing the
military reservation are very strict.
Civilian drivers were warned to obey
the regulations.
During the night all Mexican militia

The few who escaped are reported to

Pershing had sent strong column to

The relief column was reported racing
along the dry bed of the Rio Carmen
toward Carrizal.

The Juarez civilian guard, assisted
by $50 CarTanzista troops called back
to protect the Mexican city are be-
lieved to have prevented the sacking of
Juarez by about a hundred low class
Mexicans from FL Paso. After the bulk
of the Carranzistas forces evacuated the

he was interviewed today.

''But if the United States fights the
Mexican people as a nation, this will be
considered conquest and the refugees
win return to their native land to fight

Angeles stated that many refugees

ment crumble. They want him deposed
by the United States for driving thou
