had been sending troons and ammnni.
tion inland. Captain Burraee did not
know the object of these troop move
ments. The State department, through
special Agent Kodgers, at Mexico City
has called the attention of the de facta
government to the anti-American out
breaks, which for nearly two weeks
have been spreading steadilv. Manv
towns have held mass meetings and
protested against the continued pret
ence of American trooDS in Mexico. In
two or three instances American prop

General Carranza to nrntpct. American
lives and property. They feel thate
reai danger lies in the possible action
of irregular forces now under the Car
ranza banner, but whose commanders
yield doubtful allegiance to the central
government.
