LOOKS TO CARRANZA TO HELP CAPTURE RAIDERS WASHINGTON, May 8.—A new American expedition may be already across the Mexican border in pursuit of the bandits who raided Glenn Springs and Boquillas, Tex., last week, Secretary Baker said to-day he had received a report from Gen. Funston as to steps taken in that direction, but declined to reveal its contents. He said Gen. Funston’s original orders still stood, however, and they gave him authority to cross whenever the need arose. Unofficial reports trom Alpine say that a posse and a detachment of twenty-three troopers of the Fourteenth Cavalry are believed there to have followed the trail of the Mexicans into Coah Troops A, J and B of the Eighth Cavalry, under command of M G.
