CAVALRYMEN SENT OUT They Report However to Car- ranzista Commander In- ability to Find Law Breakers. (By Wallace E. Smith, L N. S. Staff Correspondent.) EL PASO, Texas, July 26.-Ameri- cam customs officials received reports today that arms and ammunition are being smuggled across the border near the points where Mexican snipers have been operating. Carranzista calvarymen sent out from Juarez yesterday in search 'of smugglers and snipers, reported to General Francisco Gonzales, the com- mander of the Juares garrison. thai they could get no trace of any such law breakers, but in spite of this re- port there was further firing across the Rio Grande from the Mexican side early in the day. Gonzales, not satisfied with the in- formation sent in by his men said he would arrest the score of Mexicans living in shacks on the \Island a strip of Mexlean land which juts into the Rio Grande at the point where sniping has been worst. It was near the \Island\ that the smugglers have been operating. A report has been received in Ju- arez that General Calixto Contreras, leader of the Villa forces in Durango. has been killed in Battle and that Vil- la's new army has been defeated. There is no confirmation of this re- port from any other source, however. The last authentic report of Villa's movements said that he had penetrat- ed country held by the Carranza forc- es north of Chihuahua City. It was rumored here that General Pelias Calles has Joined General Jac- into Trevino in rebellion against the Carranza government. General Tasker FL.

At the depot several friends and relatives were gathered to bid the boys goodbye. About 100 persons partici- pated in the farewell. Nearly every one shook hands with the soldiers and wished them a safe return. There was no cheering and no flags were displayed.

MEUCANS COMIN - TO UNITED STATES Purpose is to Establish Per- manent Peace and Arrange for Financial Aid. MEXICO CITY, July 26.-Official an- nouncement was made today of the personnel of a commission which will soon leave for the United States for the double purpose of establishing permanent peace and arranging for financial aid for the de facto govern- ment. The commission is headed by Luis Cabrera, minister of Hacienda. The second member is Juon N. Amador, sub-secretary of foreign relations, and a brilliant lawyer. The remaining member is Alberto Pani, whose leng thy connection with the railway admin- istration in Mexico, gives him peculiar qualifications for the financial negoti- ations. The absence of any military repre- sentative on the commission, is a deli- cate compliment to the United States and an indication of the peaceful na- ture of the mission. There is to be a new issue of govern ed for the present outlying notes. They will carry ten per cent. interest and run for five years.

Republicans. SARATOGA, July 28 -Not in ore. cent years has a decision of such im- portance politically - been - handed down by the Court of Appeals as the one yesterday which declared the new apportionment | unconsitutional and void. Locally the decision is pleasing to both Democrats and inde- pendent Republicans. The - Demo- crats figure that with Republicans split this fall there is an excellent opportunity to elect a Democratic senator. On the other hand it brings the fight between Senator George H. Whitney and Fred W. Kavanaugh back to the original battle ground, Saratoga and Washington county, Frienéis of Senator Whitney are jubt- lant over the decision and say that it means victory for the incumbent. Tnder the new apportionment Sara- toga would have been linked up with Schenectady county, and with James W, Yelverfon of that county in the race it was feared that he might de- feat both Whitney and Kavanaush in a three cornered fight.
