Joseph Webber of Chicago was ar
rested '100 yards from the United
States army camp today on suspic
ion of having utemptod to dynamite
tlio quarters of (ho United Stales
nrroy officers. Webber was carrying
an infernal clock machine loaded with
liitrn-glycorino with a battery sys
tem to make it explode instantaneous
ly, attached.
. Webber was taken to hcadquartei'S
and sweated by Captain Habecook.
Ho littered violent threats against
tho army and tlio United States in
general. Ho denied he was in nny
way connected with the iusurrectos.
Following tlio interview witii Cap
tain Babcocck, Webber was placed
under a heavy guard mid no 0110 wuh
allowed to coininunlcnto with him.
Captain Hancock refused to dis
cuss tho affair other Hum ho affirm
the finding of the bomb.
Prom troopers who arrested him,
it was learned that ho said ho would
Imvo blown tho whole band of offi
cers to Hell if ho had been left nlono
n little longer.
Webber will bo taken to Los An
geles tonight, Captain Iluhcock said,
and hold in tho federal prison there,
pending an investigation.
From nn autboritiitivu source it
wns learned Hint Webber boars a
strong resemblance to tho police do
soription of David Cnplan, wanted in
Ivos Angoles for dynamiting the Los
Angeles Times building, and it is
believed ho made admissions along
this lino to Captain Jlnhoook which
caused tho hitter's alempts at secrecy.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Miirah 11
Mexican troops will be rushed to
the Texas border and encamp oppos
ite tho American soldiers, prepared
to insist invasion, if martial law
should ho declared in Chihuahua and
Coahuahi Sunday by tho Mexican
congress convened in extraordinary
sesion here. The largest 'body of
American troops on Hie bonier is
near I'M Paso, it is probablo that Hid
Mexican federals would encamp near
Juarez.
A form of martial law was inau
gurated today when tho government
decided to discontinue constitutional
gunraulccH throughout the lopublie.
This permits summary military action
to displace civil trials where persons
aro accused of having destroyed Hie
properly of railroads or piiblio soi

SAN DIRGO, Cal., March 11.
Mexican insurrectionists aro now up
on both sides of tho Pleachos Pass,
which separates tho open rondway
between Mexicnll nnd Knsenada. The
pass 1b practically imprcgnnblo and
tho small federal foico now in it
could stavo off an army unless they
woro taken by surprlso. It has al
ways bconaii effectual barrier to the
march of tho insurgents on Ensen

tho present maneuvers. Whilo every
one, has been watching Mexican, he
ling slipped a largo forco of men on
tho United States sldo around tho
pass, and noww apparently hopes to
tako it by surprlso from tho west,
opening the way for IiIb main army to
march upon Hnscnada. A forco of

0. S. ARMY ALONE
Only One so Far Has Any Thing to
Say American Aggrandizement is
Given by That as Real Reason
Back of American Move to Boarder
TOKIO, March 11 No official
cognizance lias been taken of the
rumors connecting concessions grant
ed to Japan by the Mexican govern
ment with tho mobilization of troops
by tho Unitod States. Aside from tin:
Hockiuj, which openly declared that
pan-American aggrandizement was
tlio actuating spirit in' Hie move, tjio
newspapers here have avoided com
ment on tho subject.
It is evident, however, that the
move is being closely watched by the
Japanese government, and linn
aroused deep interest. For somo time
past the newspapers have commented
at some length on tho probablo ef
fect the completion of the Panama,
canal would'havo on tho lelntions be

Tlio movement of American soldiors,
now, therefore has aroused consider
ably moro interost thnn it might
otherwise hnvo done.
Tliq tone of tho press on (he whole
war question has been exceedingly
moderate. Tho Japan Mail, compieni

fact that the completion of tho Sib

SAfSJUIISTEl
Insists That Mexico Has Formed No
Treaties With Japan Which Would
Lead America to Interfere Says
Report is Absurd.
NEW YORK, March 11. Insisting
that his government had formed no
alliances with Japan that could bo
tho causo of pobslblo American in
vasion, Joso Yves Limantour, Mexi
can minister of finance, issued a
statement today.
"To my mind," ho said, "tho as
sociation of my government with Ja
pan is absurd. Official denials have
bconlssued by representatives of both
governments that Mexico has given
any privileges to Japan that should
causo apprehension on tho part of
other, governments. To say that Ja-p.-yi
is financing tho insurrection in
Mexico is to laugh.
"As set forth yesterday In my
statement, my government does not
for a moment consider intervention.
I think tho United States has no In
tention of Intervening. Naturally, my
government desires that tho iusur
rectos be prevented fiom smuggling
arms and ammunltldn across tjio bor
der. That Is what tho American
troops proposo to do. I hnvo always
boon a boliover In tho keen sense of
justice of tho Amerlcnn people. When
it is renllzod that tho Insurrection was
largely framed In America and most
of tho supplies havo been received
from tho United States and possibly
that most of tho money to financo
tho revolution was raised here, I feel
that Americans who havo largo in-
