REBELS CROSS THE BORDER !I HMITH (Continued from Pago One.) from the line, with the avowed intention of making: another raid Into the United States. There arc only five troops ot United States cavalry on duty on tho Now Mexican border, three of these In the vicinity of Ilaclilta. Entrance of Mexican rebels into Iho United States and the subsequent engagement engage-ment with United States troops below ITachlla, N. M., us reported today to General 13. Z. Sleever at Fort Bliss, Tex., marks the Blxth invasion of American soli In the last four weeks, First Battle Bloodless. Although no one was injured In the brush today between fifteen troops of the Third cavalry and a superior band ot rebels, wlio crossed tho International line to raid a ranch on tho American side, the Incident is deemed more than of passing import in military circles. It Is asserted that Inez Salazar, the rebel chief op-sratlng below the Now Icxlco border. Is Intent on causing international in-ternational complications consistent with his disarmament of the American settlers In tho stato of Chihuahua. Since the invasion in-vasion of Sonora. by rebels, Salazar has made many incendiary speeches as well as issuing a proclamation against Americans, Ameri-cans, according to advices received by military authorities here. It is believed that the rebels know the dividing line between New Mexico and the Mexican slate of Sonora and that the expedition on American soil, as reported today, waa merely made to antagonize the United States troops stationed along the border to preserve neutrality. Need Ammunition. The rebels are In great need of ammunition ammu-nition and the activity of tho American soldiers In provcntlng smuggling of munitions mu-nitions of war has caused much ill feeling. feel-ing. It is determined to receive the rebels warmly, as It is impossible for the American Ameri-can soldiers to pursue the invaders farther far-ther than the international boundary. Owing to the vast territory to be pa-troled, pa-troled, only a few troopors are stationed at any one point, and the Mexican Invasions Inva-sions romc so unexpectedly lhat It Is Impossible to offer the proper resistance with so few troops on duty. In the light today the fifteen American troopers met a superior number of rebels, who attempted to raid a. ranch on the American sido. resulting in a long-range engagement and the canture of one rebel while another's horse was shot from under un-der the rider. The rebels later returned re-turned In great numbers only to bo driven over the boundary by the American 3ol-diors. 3ol-diors. Federals Pursue Campa. CAKANEA. Sonora, Sept 6. Four hundred hun-dred federals are tonight In pursuit of the rebel commander. Emillo Campa. and his 200 rebels who threatened an attack on this town. The rebels have taken to the AJo mountains. American refugees who have talked with Campa say that the rebel chief denies that he ever threatened threat-ened Americans. He Insists, however, on disarming all foreigners and that he will seize all horses and Baddies. Investigation proves that there are 1700 feet of railway bridges destroyed on the Southern Pacific of Mexico, on the No-gales No-gales branch, which will require a month to repair. The railway company has placed cuards on the road between Cana-nea Cana-nea and Naco to prevent further destruction destruc-tion of the road by rebels. Favors Intervention. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Sept 7. "Ave wo! going to intervene in Mexico? Why, that's the only thing we can do," declared United States Senator Catron of Santa Fe, N. M.. here tonight, "It soon will be necessary to send troops to Mexico to save American lives. The Mexicans arc more hostile to Americans than to any other people. American Interests In-terests already have been jeopardized to the extent of a half billion dollars. "If I had ;i000 invested in Mexico I would not consider it worth more than $50. That's why intervention Is absolutely abso-lutely necessary. I believe troops will be sent there soon." |
