Brownsville, Texas, Aug. The arrival of two batteries of artillery from Fort Bliss, Okla- home, today puts the United States Army patrol on a more solid footing than it has been at any time since the Mexican troubles began. Preparations are going ahead for a long stay on the border and no step in the completion of defenses, including the building of trenches is being overlooked. The Carranza commander at Matamoras says his troops will try to drive away the bandit gangs which have been harrass- ing the American patrol by firing from the Mexican side, but pleads his inability to do much on account of the small garrison here and the absence of Department Commander Nafarrette. Social life along the border is at a lull because of the frequency of the alarms, most of which prove to be false.
