of the American army at the Mexican
frontier has excited great interest
among the London politicians, and in
commercial circles. The foreign of
flee denies that the British govern.
ment suggested the action taken by
Washington but these officials in the
language of their statements are not
necessarily convincing. So far as any
extension of the power of the United
States on the American continent is
concerned, it is doubtful that such an
outcome will be popular with the

hundred marines will sail from the
Philadelphia navy yard this afternoon
on the transport Prairie and will be

grams are pouring into headquarters
of tho army showing that the move.
ment Of the troops to the southern

ness OF clock work. Almost the en-
tire force of 10000 men ordered to the
border is now enroute to the lower
part of Texas or California. The
troops are equipped with ball cart
ridges. Notwithstanding this, officia
Washington still maintains that the
movement is merely plan of practice
to determine the efficiency of the
fighting arms of the country in mo
biliZing in short notice. While this il
held to be true technically, the gen
eral impression prevails that the sud
den and extensive military activity
has vital relation to the revolutionary
movement in Mexico, and that this
government is preparing for any
eventuality that may develop with tht
progress of the revolt against Presi
dent Diaz. Orders to move the garri
son stationed at Fort Russell, Wyom
| ing, have depleted that post and tht
war department today ordered one bat
! talon of infantry at Ft. Assinaboine
Montana, to Fort Russell to care fol
that post. This was the only addition
