SAX ANTONIO, Tex. Dec. 15.
When tlio imlilic rends n brief dis
patch from Washington to the effect
that the ndminiilrntion hns forbid
den tlio shipment of nrm mid urn
munition to both Mexican federals
nnd rebeN, it takes it for grunted
tlint the shipments erase forthwith
lint they do not. For this reason,
the troops, gunnN and inspector
nlong the Hio Ornndc have many
thrilling experiences that the public
never hears of. lloth hides in ilex'
ieo are continually trying to smuggle
munitions of war over the line.
Sometimes they succeed, but thanks
to ever-wutehful eyes, more often
they do not.
Smuggling has become nn art.
Few realize hat iugenious methods
nnd carefully concealed plans are
used to frustrate guards along the
line. The keenness of n Sherlock
Holmes would be taxed and tried.
Tlio United States officials at the
bonier daily learn of some new piece
of strategy by which smugglers try
lo thwart them and carry ncrosfc the
river nnns without discovery. Some
of thesp discoveries arc oddly mixed
with comedy nnd tragedy.
Not long ngo nn innocent-looking
trunk wns sent through El Paso to
".Mary Smith" nt Chihuahua. It
wns n plain-looking little trunk and
looked as if it might belong to some
plain country girl. Hut the officials
were suspicious nnd decided to see
what ''Mary" was carrying in the
weather-beaten trunk. On top were
porno plnm dresses. The. officials
felt rather ashamed for breaking into
Mary's trunk. The. dresses -were
lifted, disclosing a score of ammuni
tion boxes, nil filled with cartridges.
hat would Mary want with so
many deadly cartridges T She
might get hurt. So tho officials np
propnntcd the ammunition nnd
doubtless "Mary" has been wonder
