Show GENERAL FUNSTON KEEPING WATCH ON BANDS OF BANDITS SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 7. Careful attention was paid by General Funston and his staff today to every bit of information infor-mation coming out of Mexico relating to renewed activity of organized bandits in the state of Chihuahua. Carranza's official notification that the force that destroyed General Ramos's force near Jimenez might be moving northward with the object of raiding the American side of the river was borne out to some extent by Information reaching the Intelligence department of the American Amer-ican army, but the American sources of information also had reports that, in- stead of moving northward, the bandits were swinging south and west toward Parral. Advised of the new developments, officers offi-cers commanding the bonier kept close watch along the International line, while headquarters officers were prepared to send supporting troops to any point menaced. The last of the Illinois national guard reached here today. |
