RAIDER CHARGED WITH
ATTEMPTED HORSE THEFT

III Paso, June 12.---The reported
raid by five armed Mexicans on Amer
lean territory on the outskirts of FL
Paso yesterday afternoon resulted to-
day In the arrest In Juarez Of a Mex
lean who, instead OF being detained
for trying to capture III Paso, was
booked on the less heroic charge of
attempted horse stealing.
Such was the result of the investi-
cation by General Gonzales, tempor-
ary commander OF northern Chihua-
hua. and Andres Garcia, the Mexican
consul at El Paso. Consul Garcia
said tonight that the man arrested
was the only one 10 have crossed the
line. and his discharge of fire arms
was due to disappointment at finding
on the American side two other Mex
leans. who also had an eye, although
innocently, on the same horse. No
others were implicated.
The consul brought over from
Juarez today an American recruit who
had ignorantly crossed the interna-
tional border. where he was arrested
bv Carranza soldiers His release fol-
lowed as soon as General Bell could
be communicated with.
Consul Garcia still persists IN his
optimistic view of the outcome OF the
demonstrations In Mex
leo. He says they have no other OBJ
iect than to impress Washington with
the popular Mexican attitude toward
the presence of the expeditionary
force

TWO JAPANESE ARE.
AMONG RAIDERS

Laredo. Tex, June 12.--George
Conover, an American cowboy cap
tured by Mexican bandits when he
and Arthur Meyers yesterday trailed
these maurauders. who raided the t.
A. Coleman ranch at San Samuel. ar
rived in Laredo late last night after
thirty-five mile tramp after his es-
cape from the Mexicans.
He said the band which sought to
rustic eighty head of horses across the
border was composed of five Mexi-
cans and two japanese. The Jap
anese, he said, were later captured by
de facto government troops. He and
Meyers attempted to follow the Mexi-
cans making away with the horses
and cause the horses to stampede, but
they were captured. Conover said he
was treated well by the Mexicans, but
the two Japanese wanted to hang
him.
The bandits left him and Meyers at
Ia secluded place and told the Ameri-
cans to await their return. The Amer
leans then took flight, hiding in the
brush when the Mexicans came back
to look for them. The searchers
passed within fifteen yards of the.
refugees.
A number of armed citizens and
state rangers were dispatched to
Webb, Tex, north of here, early to-
day, on u report that railroad bridges
were being burned. The report was
found to be groundless, but the rang
ers took into custody two Mexicans
supposed to have been connected with
the band participating in the Coleman
ranch raid.

Laredo, Tex. June 12.-Cenobio
Mendez, a Mexican cowboy, who was
captured by the bandits in the raid on

attempting to burn the bridge on the
international and Great Northern rail

NOT CONFIRMED
Chieftain Said to Be at Large
in Monterey; Efforts to
Seize Him Are Said to Be
Feeble.


San Antonio. Tex, June l2.--Army
Officers here are convinced that Luis
de In Rosa has obtained from certain
OFFICERS In Carranza's army promises
OF support In any border warfare
which he may begin against Ameri-
cans. Agents OF the department Of
Justice and of the state department
have sent to Washington and TO army
headquarters here evidence which Of
ficers here regard as reliable, that Do
Ia Rosa has been assured he will be
unmolefted by the de facto govern
ment troops and from at least one
general officer of Carranzs's army the
promise Of active cooperation.
Not all carranza's officers are said
TO be in the plot and General Funston
credited General Ricaut with all SIM
cerity when he told General Mann at
Laredo that he would make such dis
position of his troops along the bor-
der as to prevent If possible any raid
ing by de la Rosa or other bandit
leaders.
Arrest Is Doubted.
A report that de Ia Rosa had been
arrested at Monterey had not been
confirmed tonight. He has been en-
terlng and leaving Monterey with ap-
UNiFHi lUffliADitN lot NOIIit llIflt, dL~
cording to reports and army officers
here have taken that az an indication
that only feeble efforts were being
made TO capture him.
It was feared here that de Ia Rosa's
plan of campaign might include the
dispatehing of bands OF such small
numbers that running them down
would be more difficult Than if l1rger
units were empIoypd
More Men Stili Needed.
From Brownsville 10 points in the
Big Bend district American soldiers
now are patrolling the Rio Grande to
prevent the crossing of other raiders
but the military force Is far from
tight and General Funston's insist
ence that he be given more troops
Will not. II was stated tonight, be les
sened by the sending of 1000 more
coast artillery men and battalion OF
engineers.
Passengers coming from Mexico re-
port increasing economic difficulties
and a growing anti-Americanism Of
fetal sanction has been secured for
holding the anti-American meetings
that have taken place In many towns.
A copy Of La Reforma, published at
Saltillo, reached here today In which
four columns were used to explain
why all residents of the place should
participate In mass meeting that had
been called there TO protest against
the intrigues of the white House and
to display their loyalty in the event
OF hostilities between Mexico and the
United States. La Reforma is re-
garded as a semi-official newspaper.
Philip c. Hanna. at Monterey, and
J. Silllman, at Saltillo, are the only
remaining American consular officers
