SAX BENITO, Sept. 15.—Soldiers
have been rushed from Brownsville
by special train, and began leaving
there last night, and will remain here
until further orders.
The soldiers will be "stationed on
the house tops and other places of
vantage tonight where they will act
as watchers; a guard will also be
maintained on the outskirts of this
city because of the feared and rum-
ored outbreak of the Mexicans tomor-
row, Thursday, which is the Mexican
indenpendence day, and reported to
be the day set for a Mexican invasion
of the United States.
The Mexican residents of San Be-
nito several days ago warned the Am-
ericans that an attack was being
planned.
Last night Americans in the put-
lying districts moved to the center of
the town, and armed citizens remain-
ed on guard all night. A call was sent
to Fort Brown for additional troops,
who arrived here today shortly a'ter
daybreak.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15—The
state department today has renewed
its warning to Americans to keep out
of Mexico. The warning reads as
follows:
"Owing to the disturbed conditions
prevailing along the Mexican border
this department repeats its advice
heretofore given, that American citi-
zens remain on this side of the inter-
national line for the present"
TAFTS BIRTHDAY.
By United Press.
W ASHJNGTON, Sept. 15.—Great
masses of documents and state de-
partment information is today being
gathered for the meeting of the Pan-
American conference on Mexican
peace, which will be held in New
Y<jrk Saturday. This information, it
is believed, will aid in the formation
of some new policy regardng the pac-
ification of the factions in Mexico and
eventually establishing peace there
contrary to the earlier predictions.
The recognition of Carranza will
probably not be among the recom-
mendations of the conference as a
whole, but will be left to each nation
to decide for itself with the United
States taking the lead in the matter,
as it is recognized that the United
States is and should he the leader.
It is believed, however, that the
conference will accept Carranza's in-
vitation that a committee meet him
on the boundary line and discuss tjie
internal affairs of the war-ridden
country.
