BAN ANTONIO, Oct. 27.—All bor-
der commanders have been inslruct-
ed by Southern Army headquarters
here to keep a close watch on the
situation as a result of the Baker
statement last night on the disirpve-
^ryof I plot for^Mexican troops <6
make an attack on American forces
or a border-town before the Novem-
ber election. ■ _
onicials of the Department of Jus-
tice have also been asked to report
to the commanders any suspicious
movement ♦
There have been no shifts of the
troops on the border since the an-
nouncement.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—War and
§tate department officials refused today
to disclose the souroe or the specific na-
ture of the information on which Sec-
retary of War Baker last night issued a
statement charging that bandits planned
an attack on the American trops In Mex-
ico or on American border towns in
an effort to discredit the Administration
Mexican policy. They said the >hannel
of this information was so valuable
that nothing could be given out that
might injure its future use. Secretary
*Baker said the statementliad no domes-
tic political significance.
Part of the information which led to
the issuance ot the statement, the Sec-
retary said, reached his office Jate yes-
terday aftepnoon within a few minutes
of the time in which he was to leave
to deliver a campaign speech in West'
Virginia. Secretary B^ker, it is Earned,
immediately took up the report with
Secretary Lansing and the latter is said
to have advised him in making public
the. substance of the information.
Secretary Lansing viewed, the infor-
mation as indefinite, but as showing a
dangerous situation along the border.
. Secretary Baker indicated that no im-
mediate move would be made of General
Pershing's column. He refused to say,
however, if orders^ had ‘ been given or
not to the American troops to prepare
to meet an attack.
The impression is that Pershing and
Funston have been instructed to take
certain steps of. a retaliatory nature if
any attack is made on their forces.
"I have nothing to say on the sub-
ject,” was Secretary Baker's only res-
ponse to questions in regard to border
orders. .
Asked *whaf interests he charges are
behind the move. Secretary Baker said:
"The Mexicans who oppose the de
facto government in America would, of
course be glad tn complicate the re-
lations between the United States and
Mexico and our Information is that they
believe now is an appropriate time to do
so. Everybody knows that many Mex-
icans are conspiring against the de -fac-
to government.”

1915, and that he did not vnow who did
fire the fatal shot. He^ told of having
gone to the anti-Catholic lecturer’s room
with his friends to protest against the
delivery of Black’s lecture; that he did
not go seeking trouble and that he car-
ried a pistol there only because he said
Black and his party had reputations of
being dangerous men. He told of how,
