SAN ANTONIO, May 1O.-The
police today cOnfIscated rifles
and munitions from 16 Mexican
homes and placed deputies ready
for instant action. This was
done because the authorities had
heard reports of a plan to start
an uprising of Mexicans in the
border states in retaliation
against the American expedition
entering Mexico.
Funston, denying that he had
requested 10000 troops. said
this afternoon that he had re-
ceived all the men asked for. He
expects TO concentrate the militia,
starting today. Most OF the
Texans will be used at state
points where there Is no regular
guard. other mlFitiamen win
strengthen the regular patrols.
There have been numerous re-
quests from cattlemen and min
ers along the border for troops.
Scott hopes to go TO San Antonio
tonight. Four infantry cOmpa-
mics with machine guns besides
the usual provost guard were on
duty in FL PasO last night.

REJOICING IN BERLIN.

Berlin, Feb. 3. (via London) -
News Of the daring raids of Ger
man cruiser in the main lane OF the
sea traffic between South Africa and
Europe has aroused a new outburst
Of enthusiasm for the navy. Tho
cruiser Moewe-in English, the Sea
Gull--was enrolled Immediately on
the honor list, with the Emden, Prinz
'Eitel Friedrich and Karlsruhe. Her
'feats are characterized as most dar-
ing, illustrative Of the fact that the
spirit which apimated the men on the
Emdon still Is alive and that more
pages Of German history are being
written.
There Is no little mystery here re-
garding the identity Of the Moewe.
Admiralty officials evidently were not
surprised at the news, but decline to
give any information.
1t may have been that some larger
steamer. assuming the name Moewe,
when converted into an auxiliary
cruiser, slipped through the British
lines. A precedent Of this nature ex-
lists in the case Of the German mer-
chantman which was converted into
the auxiliary cruiser Meteor which

at large In the Atlantic. and the re-
port that the Room in fact was nearby
and directed the operations Of the
raider called the Moewe which sank
six ships and captured the Appam

promises to add another chapter to
the yet untold story OF the daring Of
German sailors.
The Room Is a fast heavily armored
cruiser of nearly 10000 tons. with
more than $4,000 horsepower; 400 feet
long and with both oil and coal boil
ers. She was built at Kiel in 1902,
has four tunnels and extra high wire
