BORDER CITIES HUM
WITH REVOLT RUMORS

fairly hummed with reports and
activities concerning the Mexican
revolution, as officials came here
by i ene from Mexico City, and
rushed back and forth across the
Rio Grande on official business, the
exact nature of which was not re-

All efforts today to verify re-
port that the Mexican government
planned to move several thousand
troops across the Rio Grande into

Ell Paso, and back into Mexico there
to fight the rebels were blocked
with evasive answers, although they
were not denied until after noon.

Brownsville declared that there is
apparently no foundation to the ru-
NOR, and that there appears to be
no necessity for such action at this
time.
The sumption of telegraph and
train service between Matamoros
and points in the interior was q
high spot in developments today,
as all communication between Mex

been cut off for considerable time.
The first train from Matamoros to
Monterrey since the outbreak of the
revolution moved out at $50 this
morning, and a train is expected
in here at $50 this evening from
Monterrey.
The activity in connection with
the revolution was at its height
during the early morning, when
General Montalvo and Roberto "
Pesquiera, finance minister and
personal representative OF President
Gil, conferred. General Cervera
commander at Matamoros, also was
called into conference with them.
Pesquiera arrived yesterday by
plane, along with a party from
Mexico City, and left today for San

The most definite assurance of
the flight Of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh to Brownsville fIOm Mexico
City on March 8 with the first air
mail over the new route through
here was given this morning by
Lieut.. Col. Roberto Fierro.
Col Fierro, who flew into Browns
vile yesterday afternoon, and left
this morning for Mexico, talked to
Lindbergh yesterday. He said Lind
bergh told him he was planning to
fly the first air mail to Browns
vile on March 9.
'Lindbergh's arm will not bother
him." Col. Fierro said, "aS it is prac-
tically well, and the revolution will
not interfere with the flight he
said, according to every indication.
However, he considered it possible
that the escort Of army planes
which was to accompany Lindbergh
here will not make the trip. These
planes have been maSSed for pos
sible use in the revolution, Col.
Fierro said.
The Mexican ace, who has one of
the most outstanding records OF any
flyer, and a better record than any
other in Mexico. expressed surprise
and pleasure at the Brownsville air.
port, stating it is one OF the most
complete and efficieT-G he has ever
seen. He expressed surprise at a
city the size Of Brownsville having
such an airport.
Col. Fierro expressed regret that
he could not fly back to Brownsville
with Lindbergh, but had some con-
ISOLATION in carrying back with him
the first international mail ever to
move out of Brownsville by air. The
mail was a lean sackful. stamped
with official seals, etc., and carrying
it was reported unofficially, mainly
Mexican official communications.
Col. Fierro's plane took off at $50,
and he expected to make the return
trip in-about five hours, stopping at
Tampico. The plane Of Col. de
Leon, which came In yesterday with
Fierro, bringing party OF Mexican
officials, left half an earlier on the
return trip.
Records show that Col. Fierro has
total of almost 5000 hours in the
air, that he has made record break
ing flights from Mexicali, on the
western border, to Mexico City, from
Mexico City to Havana, from Mex
leo to Guatemala. from Mexico City
to Panama, and to practically every
other point in central and South
America.

four revolutions in the air service,
