M. The con sul reported the lK?y had a toy pistol which excited suspicion. The Ambas sador also let it be known that he hail asked his Government for Information concerning a ro|X)t;t that American troops hail crossed the border pursu ing bandits near Uachita yesterday. San Antonio. Tex.. June 'JX. ? Geuer al Funstoii received tonight a re|M?rt from Brigadier General Bell at Kl Paso, which stated General llell had been notltlcjl by Mexican Consul liar ela that tliY' American prisoners taken at ('arrival now are on the way north t?? Juarez and probably would arrive there tomorrow morn lug. According to the report. Mr. ( iarcla had received word from General Jacinto Trevlno that the American prisoners with their arms and acout foment were to be de- i llvered at once to the American author ities.- The report was forwarded at once to Washington by t Ieneral Fun ston. There were no indications at head quarters that General Trevlno's order for the liberation of the prisoners would effect in any way the movement j of National Guardsmen toward the bor der. While several reports were received today from Genera! Pershing there was nothing to indicate clashes in the ter- ! rltory occupied by tin* American ex- i {(edition. i General Funstoii has urged the War i .Ufipartiuewt to expedite the transfer of j recruits for the regular army from j eastern recruiting stations to the bor- i der. These men are needed nt once. J not only to till up the ranks of the new regiments provided by the army Increase bill but to strengthen the old i regiments depleted by the transfer of! soldiers to the new regiments. Word was received here through rail road sources that the Missouri troops.' the destination of which lias hereto- j fore lieen simply "somewhere in Texas" were to be sent direct to Laredo.

Spillsburg. Mormon scout, had heen removed from prison. The message added that the men. with their arms -and accoutrements, under heavy guard, had heen placed on a Mexican Central train' hound for Juarez, where they are expected to arrive tomorrow morning. The tele gram conveying this news was ail dressed to General George Hell. Jr.. commander of the l-'l Paso base. It was signed by (ieneral Jacinto Trevi 110. commander of * the Mexican mili tary district of t he northeast, whose headquarters are at Chihuahua City. Reports from the Held indicate that small columns of Carranzistas are ap Iteariug to the south of General Per shing's line, occupying communities* evacuated by the American. However, in Mexican circles, it is explained that, some of these troops are recruiting de tachments. American reports indicate that at no point are they sufficiently close to Pershing's lines to cause alarm. Montgomery, Ala., June 2.'t. ? Victor A. Tula lie. and other prominent Mont gomery negroes, have oj>eucd an enlist ment place here for negro volunteers. Upon receipt of news, that twelve mem l>ers of the Tenth United States cav alry (negro) had . been killed.
