MEXICANS INVADE AND ARE CAPTURED AMERICAN TROOPERS MAKE SHORT WORK OF ATTEMPT AT FILIBUSTER WASHINGTON — A clash between United States troops and Mexicans is officially reported to the state department. The message said that a group of filibusters crossed to the American side near Nogales where the American troops and the customs house officials captured them. George Holmes, believed to be an American, Manuel Gonzales and Hipolito, Villa's former secretary are among the prisoners. Another message described firing from a house on the Mexican side of the line upon the American troops. The Americans returned the fire and the trouble ceased. WHEAT IN PASSAGE IS MUCH BETTER KILLED OUT IN SPOTS BUT RE SPONDS WELL TO GOOD WEATHER WALLA WALLA—Varying reports of the condition of Inland Empire wheat fields have been received here. An unusually wet spring, floods, wind storms and a hard winter have done much damage in some districts, while other sections have come through the winter in good shape and look forward to a good harvest. Pendleton, in the heart of a big wheat growing district, reports that recent clear weather has brightened crop prospects. Farmers report that they never before saw wheat grow rapidly. There is danger, they say, that the weather will turn too warm and cause the wheat roots to spread out rather than to go down, deep roots being necessary to enable the crop to withstand storms and winds.
