Three hundred rurales. who had been close to Madero, mutined In the suburb, which Is only a few miles from Mexico City and federals were hastily des patched there with machine guns.

Armed cowboys continued to pour Into Douglas today, anxious to take a hand, should any further trouble commas the result of yesterday's clash between Mexicans and troopers of the Ninth Cavalry. Curious persons continued to beat,the brush where the Mexicans made their stand looking for dead, but no bodies were found. Four officers of the Ninth were walk ing: along the American side of the border 'yesterday morning, when a de tachment of sixty Mexican regulars, coming out from Agua Prleta opened Are on them. The Americans declared that they did nothing at all to pro voke the firing. Sixteen troopers joined the four officers and the Mexicans charged toward the border. "Waiting until they were within easy Tange, the officers gave the word to fire and they aid that six Mexicans fell dead. Gov. Carranza Seeks $10,000 to Pay His Soldiers From Merchants in State. Governor Carranza has demanded .that The foreign merchants In Culdad For- firlo Diaz. Mexico, give him between 310,000 and 25.000 to pay his troops or, ne would not ne responsioie ior mo depredations they might commit. The mayor of the town, according to re ports reaching the State Department from Eagle Pass, is not In sympathy with Carranza's demands and asserts that he will be able to maintain order in the city. The foreign merchants have determined they will not contribute the money demanded. Despite trouble at Ciudad Porfirio Diaz and at Cananea, where 409 Ma. deristas are up In arms and the sym pathies of the town are with them, the State Department feels extremely op timistic regarding the situation and be lieves that the Wilson Administration may escape for some time the worry of an acute Mexican situation. Ambassador Wilson reports that Cheche Campos and Arguendo have sworn allegiance to the new govern mm DEMANDS OF FOREIGNERS ment and have been sent to San Louis PotOEl to assist In the suppression of bandits. The banditti at Asiento have proven too strong for federal troops, accord ing to reports from Aguascallentes.

Lato last night an unofficial dispatch was received to the effect that six Americans and six Mexicans had been killed. Subsequently, press reports agreed that only four Mexicans had been killed, and positive statements were made that no American was either injured or killed. The War Department Is anxious to to obtain all details of the skirmish, es pecially as to who started the firing. Press reports agree that forty Mexicans opened lire on three American officers near the border. May Ask Explanations. Owing to the fact that there have teen a. number of casualties along the border and that conditions are extreme ly unsettled. It Is not believed that the Incident will lead to serious conse quences, although this Government wilt probably write a demand on the Huerta regime for an explanation should It prove that the Mexican troops were fed erals under recognized leadership. The attitude of the United States has bred a certain amount of contempt on the part of Mexicans alone the border. The decisive result of the skirmish yes terday is expected to teach them that the United States Is exhibiting pa tience rather than cowardice and that, in case of necessity, American troops have not lost the art of shooting straight.
