Blacky uneasy. You see. he had

they could concerning the
on the Mexican side both of
bandits and government troops, but no
official report reached army headquarters
here of any incident that appeared likely
to disturb the delcately balanced relations
of the two countries.
General Pershing's reports indicated that
General Jacinto Trevinos troops had not
yet made any advance move, and army
officers believed it improbable that they
would unless Trevino received special or
ders from Mexico City. Such information
as reached General Funston concerning the
movement of Mexican troops indicated the
adoption of a plan not to maintain heavy
garrisons at border points, but to hold
the bulk of the border army some miles
south of the Rio Grande

was strengthened by a mere handful of
men, but at Lampazos, between Laredo

night was less than 1000 At Picdras
