Juarez is M free from any danger. Rumors that reach H Mexico City, that armed filibusters havo H! crossed tho border, are absolutely false. n as the watch of the United States troops I prevents any breach of the neutrality ;lf laws.

In the meantime, when the troops are U on those false scents It is presumed that B armed parties make their way across the J 1 river at unguarded points. jj I Today General Wood, chief of staff, said I fi that nt least ono aeroplane would be em- I l ployed In observation work along tho Rio 9 flu Grande.
