Patrol Work to Be COntin-
ued for Some Time.
SIMPLY CHANGING PLACES

Said at Navy Department That Move

tion With the Situation in Mexico.
Vessels Now En- Route to Gulf
Points May Be Held at Guantana-
mo, Cuba.
Washington, March 15.--Troops now
concentrating in San Antonio, Tex,
are to be kept in that vicinity. So are
those centering at San Diego, Cal,
ment is made on the highest war de-
partment authority, notwithstanding
constant rumOrs to the contrary. So
far as the navy is concerned. it is de-
clared by officials that the gnnboats
on the east and west coasts of Mex.
leo and Central America are simply
exchanging places.
The patrol work of the troops on
the Mexican border is arduous and
trying and fer this reason the war de-
partment is making plans for reliev.
ing those now there, after short tour
of duty. The men who are now doing
the work are to be relieved at inter
walls, but there is no present intention
on the part of the war department of
increasing the number of the patrol at
any particular time
At the navy department 1t is said
the gunboats Princeton and Yorktown
are merely changing places on the
west coast, while the cruisers Chester
and Tacoma are working in conjunc.
tion on the east coast
VIII Observe Conditions.
Incidentally the vessels were to
touch at Mexican ports to observe
conditions and report to Washington,
but the alarm created by their pro-
gramme has resulted in the recall of
such orders and instructions being is
sued that they shall call at Mexican
ports only to coal.
1t is declared to be even possible
that, in execution of the wish of Pres
ident Taft to divest of any interna-
tional significance the movement of
troops and naval vessels, the projected
joint army and navy maneuvers may
be abandoned AS result Admiral
Staunton, who arrived at Guantana-
mo, Cuba, Monday with his armored
cruiser squadron, will begin a series
of drills and evolutions in that vicin-
ity. Whether Admiral Staunton' s
squadron will be sent to the Texas
coast at all will depend on future de-
velopments.
The plan of Secretary Meyer for
battleship maneuvers in the gulf in
the late spring or early summer also
may be abandoned, in view of the dis.
position in some quarters to distoIt
every naval movement in Southern
waters into a preparation for war or
invasion.

New York, March 15.-After paying
a visit to Governors island. where he
had luncheon with General Grant, Sec
Ietary of War Dickinson cancelled his
passage on the steamer Advance for

viii Be Presented by Russian Minis
ter at Peking About the Time the
Advancing Army Reaches the Chi
nese Frontier - Little Resistance
Expected on the Part of the Celes-
tial Garrison at kulia.
st. Petersburg, March 15.-Russia
has sent an ultimatum to China, in
sisting on a closer adherence to the
provisions of the treaty of 1891, which
has been the subject of negotiations
between the two countries for some
weeks past.
The Russian occupation corps is
within hundred miles of the frontier
and marching on Kulia.
Only the immediate execution of
China's treaty obligations toward Rus.
STA can interrupt the advance of the
army, which is to occupy Kulja. Two
brigades of sharpshooters, four sot.
guns and eight batteries of machine
guns were dispatched from Margelan,
in Ferghana, Turkestan, shortly after
the receipt of China's second reply.
Advices to the war Office say that
the expedition is within a hundred
miles of the frontier and steadily ad-
vancing in order to reach the frontier
about the time of the presentation of
the ultimatum.
Chinese Force UndiscipIined.
The Russian force is considered en-.
tirely sufficient to occupy and hold
Kulja, as the Chinese troops, although
nominally 10000 in number, actually
number a bare couple of thousand.
They are undisciplined and of diverse
equipment and lack artillery.
The instructions which the foreign
office telegraphed to NJ. Korostovetz,
the Russian minister at Peking, con-
tain the ultimatum. This embodies
two points, first, the reopening of Rus
sian consulates at the points specified
in the treaty of 1881, and. second, the
establishment of free trade in certain
products, including teas. in fulfllment
of article IL of the same treaty.
These two points are the ones which
