I but the cuartel near by is t??o small to hold more than a smaH detachment and neither soldiers nor uniformed customs guards are ever in evidence along the border. The Americans live apart from one another lu individual houses of ail grades, most of which ore very neat and some of which are quite tine and must have been costly. Their streets run up tiie sides of the mountain glen in which the town Is situated.
