Article On Subject.

The recent sensational reports

time as if the scare were about to

however. by a sensational article
in Harper's Weekly by one Brande-
burg reiterating the previous re-
ports. which has caused quite a
storm of indignation in Mexico.
1t is directly charged by many
leading men over there that the
article was inspired by J. P. Nor
gan for purpose of gripping the
interests of E. H. Hartman in his
present efforts to push the South
ern Pacific Railroad extension in
Mexico. In a signed statement
just given out by Bernardo Reyes,
Governor of Nueva Leon, in re-
Spouse to the unfounded statements
of the Brandeburg article rejecting
on him, among other strong de-
clarations, he says:
Never before has peace in Mex
leo been better assured. The Gov
eminent, perfectly organized, has
the power and the disposition,
should the necessity ever by any
possibility arise, to crush any
rebellion movement with a hand
of iron. The people have one and
all benefited by the long peace and
they know it. The people them
selves would rise to annihiIate any
person so foolish as to seriously
consider revolutionary attempt,
no matter what his position. l

pers, VIXEN 1 was at the head of

permitted myself to dispute with

FORT BROWN WILL
BE ABANDONED
Orders Expected By Today's Mail.-AIl
Work On Improvements at the
Post Suspended.

Orders have been issued by the
war department for the abandon
ment of Fort Brown. Such is the
news received yesterday afternoon
by Captain Preston, now in COM
mand at this post, in a private
telegram sent him from San An
tonic. Official notification of the
order has not yet been received by
Captain Preston, but the foregoing
is authentic, and the official orders
will probably arrive with this even
ing's mail.
That the abandonment of Fort
Brown was fully anticipated is
shown by the fact that the work of
screening the quarters at the post
was stopped last week. Work on
the waterworks extension begun
recently at the post was also sus-
pended yesterday. 1t is understood
that the troops will leave just as
soon as soon as the movable pro-
perty of the government at this
post can be packed and shipped.
