brigades will be commanded by Brig.
Gems. R. W. Hoyt, l. P. Maus7 and F.

made for the command of the cavalry

they will be commanded by colonels.

of money with which to make prepara-
tions for the gigantic encampment.

GUILD WILL LIKELY
GET MEXICO BERTH

Unless the plans said to have been
made by the President are again changed,
it was rumored yesterday, he will send
former Gov. Curtis Guild, OF Massachu-
sets, to Mexico instead of to Turkey, as
it was at first stated. The present Am
bassador to Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson,
who is now in this country on a vaca-
ton, rumor says, is to ask to be re-
lieved, and it is with the intention of
providing for the place to be vacated by
him that the changed plans are neces-
sary.
Gov. Guild served as a special ambas-
sador from this country to Mexico at the
time of the centennial ceremonies. He
made such a favorable impression upon
those with whom he will be expected to
deal in his office as Ambassador that he
was the subject of note when the spe-
cial ambassador from Mexico was here
to thank, this country for the part it
took in the ceremonies.
While Mr.. Wilson emphaticaIly denies
any intention of leaving his present post,
the report persists that he will not be
likely to return to Mexico.
1t is probable, however, that, consider
ing the present state of the country in
Mexico. no change will be attempted for
some little time.

DOUBT NECESSITY
OF INTERVENTION
Opinions Differ as to Prob
able Effect.

The scout cruiser Chester has been
ordered from Pensacola to Tampico,
Mexico. The Navy Department gives no
explanation of the sending of a war
vessel to the eastern coast of Mexico,
but this latest development fits in with
the impressive military demonstration
that is being made for the protection of
American and other foreign properties
in Mexico.
Officials in Washington acknowledged
yesterday for the first time that the stu
alton in Mexico has had something to
do with the massing of 5000 troops. or
one-Quarter of the entire army, on the
Mexican frontier. In talking for publica-
ton. these officials continue to assert
that the movement of the troops was
designed merely for war games, but
speaking unofficially and in confidence
they acknowledged that the maneuVers
are only incidental
The real purpose of hurrying the troops
to the Mexican frontier. as already out
lined in these dispatches, is entirely pre-
cautionary. The movement of troops in
Texas is designed solely to put the
United States in an attitude to meet any
emergency that may arise.
Opinions differ in Washington as to the
likelihood of developments In Mexico
which may require Intervention on the
part of the United States
Conflicting reports from credible sources
are given out on the condition Of Presi-
dent Diaz's health. The Mexican En-
bassy declares upon the strength of OFF,
ciaf reports that the aged executive is
in good physical and mental condition.
On the other hand, statements from
sources in Washington, whose accuracy
is hardly to be questioned, say that
President Diazs health is fast declining,
and that his grip on affairs has slipped
away with the advancing years.

FL Paso, Tex, March 9.-Francisco L
Madero in his first clash with federals
was badly defeated and lost some of his
best men, who were Americans. The
federals lost heavily also. The battle
was fought last Monday at Old Casas
Grandes, Is miles south of here, and the
insurrectos were routed, but continued on
their march toward Pearson en- route to
Chihuahua 1t is reported, but not yet
confirmed, this evening that the insur-
rectos soon rallied, and that on Tuesday
they returned, completely defeated the
federals, and captured the town OF Casas
Grandes- The fighting was between the
command of Samuel Garcia Cuellar, aid
de-camp on the staff of President Diaz,
and the inSurrecto command of Madero.
Americans Dead and Captured.
Thirty-six of the Americans in Ma
dero's command are known to have been
captured in Mondays battle, and among
the dead four Americans were seen in
one pile. They were in the front ranks
Of the insurrectos The insurrectos lost
2cO killed and wounded. They also lost
200 horses and u wagons loaded with
provisions and ammunition.
Some field guns captured by. Madero's S
advance guard when it entrapped Col.
Escuedero's federal force on the Santa
Maria River over a week ago, were re
captured from the insurrectos who did
not have sufficient ammunition to oper-
ate them, while Cuellar and his federals
had plenty of ammunition and a field
gun, with which they shelled the rebel
ranks constantly.
The battle lasted for about eleven
hours. BY a flank movement of federal
cavalry, the insurrecto prisoners were
taken. Most of the prisoners were
Americans, who refused to run, but stood
for a hand-to-hand conflict until their
ammunition gave out. The presence of
the Americans in the insurrecto ranks

CHIHUAHUA OBJECT
OF REBELS MOVE

Torreon. Mexico. March 9.-Chihuahua
advices under the date of yesterday say
that Pascual Orozco's force of rebels,
numbering about 500 men, has been max
ing a detour toward the west with
the object of conyerging with a force OF
several hundred rebels that Is advancing
towards Chihuahua from Sahuarich. This
new movement is believed to be a part
of the general plan of making a con-
certed attack upon Chihuahua within the
next few days. The military authori-
ties of that city are strengthening the
fortifications in anticipation of the pros
pective attack.
An effort to send food supplies to Chi
huahua will be made tomorrow. 1t Is
thought that the railroad can be kept
open between here and Chihuahua by
the detachments OF federal troops that
have been stationed along the line when
the repairs that are now being made to
the destroyed bridges are finished.

Characterizirg the plan of P. B. Chase
to procure better salaries for the govern
| nsents clerks as the most practical one
ever planned to help the clerks. Arthur
! Moses. of the firm of w. B. Moses &
, Sons. yesterday said his firm could be
depended upon to give financial support
to the movement.
1T is the most practical plan that has
ever been broached, and if actively car
ried out-and have every reason to be-
lieve it WILT will be the means Of get
ting better salaries for the clerks. 1
cannot see but that every right-thinking
man for business reasons, If not from a
desire to help the clerks. will give his
financial support, and when l say they
will I believe I speak for 50 per cent of
the business men of the city alone.
Enthusiasm Is shown.
TT is remarkable the enthusiasm that
is displayed by the people of this city,
outside of the government departments.
for the cause, and if the matter is
brought before the next Congress there
is no doubt in my mind that the bill
will be passed and carry with it a sub
stanual raise for men and women in the
service OF Lne government
Isaac Cans, of the firm of Saks &
Co. said his firm could be relied upon
to the utmost of its ability to help the
movement in a financial way
II don't believe there is a merchant
in the city who has the welfare of the
clerks so near his heart as have" said
Mr.. Cans. For years 1 have Striven,
by introducing resolutions in the Cham
ber of Commerce and elsewhere, to have
the salaries of the government clerks in
creased, and with the plan of Mr. Chase
/ think We are nearer our goal than ever
before.
This matter should have been taken
up in this way before, and l am at a
!oss to understand why some one did not
suggest it. You have no idea of how
many members of Congress are in favor
Of giving the clerks increased compensa-
ton. l have talked with many of them.
and l have yet to find one who is op-
posed to it for any just reason
Mr.. Cans said when the plan of Mr..
Chase came up in the Chamber Of Com
merce meeting Tuesday night he would
push it for all he was worth and see that
the matter was given attention from the
start
r. ]. Earnshaw, one Of the members
of the Boston Baking Company, after
saying the Boston Baking Company
would give the plan all the aid in it's
power. morally, and as much as they
were able financially, lauded the plan.
and said the method of conducting the
governments business has long been
the cause of ridicule from many of the
best business men in the country.
In Favor of Better Pay.
He said he was in favor of better
pay for the average government clerk.
but he also would do away with the
equality basis. by which two mes
or clerks get the same amount
Of money, although one is worth
twice and often times three times as
much money as the other.
Simon Kann, of the firm of S. Kann's
Sons &, Co. said his firm was always
willing to help any movement that
had for its object the betterment of
the government clerk. He said he
was not thoroughly cOnversant with
the method Mr.. Chase sought to pur-
sue. but if it had as its purpose the bet
terment of the government clerk. his firm
could be relied upon to do its share.
