In Case Of Invasion Of Mex.

(ey Associated Press.)

San Antonio, Tex, Mar. Is. - The
air was electrical tonight with rumors
of omportant developments in Mex
leo and of the movement of the man
euver division to the border. The
return of Jose Yves Limantour to
Mexico in part accounted for this.
A newspaper man who returned to-
night from the city of Mexico said
that sensational development were to
be expected. He stated that the
story of the stoning of Diaz's palace
was untrue
AT the maMeuver camp nearly every
preparation was a denial of the story
of mere drill and tactics. Eight
tracks have been clared in the South
ern Pacific yards and "skids" and
runways ahve been constructed so
that the unloading of eight troop
trains can be effected simultaneously.
The entire yard has heen cleaned of
Junk" so that nothing will hinder
the regular army in the event of an
emergency call.
That these eight tracks are at the
"disposal" of the government was ad-
mitted tonight by officials OF the
Southern Pacific who il, the same
breath told of the bedding of lot
of stock cars that are being stored in
the Southern Pacific yards. A Sec
ond official said that representative
of the government asked him if, ir
the event stock cars were not 2vai'-
able for the shipment of horses, how
many animals could be loaded into
the ordinary thirty-six or forty foot
box cars. Inquiry was also made if
the road would undertake to handle
soldiers in box cars in an emergency.

Several Interesting QBs,'isas
VIII be Decided by the
Present maneOyefS
(6y Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Mar. 18.-One
of the principal questions which the
war department hopes to settle as a
result of the maneuvers in Texas and
California is as to whether the army
as now organized is provided with
an overstock or with insufficient
equipment of wagons, tents and sup
plies of all sorts. This is the ques-
tiOn over which there has been
division of opinion among army Off
GERS, some holding that the army
would be hindered on the march by
the large amount of impediments it
carries, while others think it should
be even more heavily equipped than
at present.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, in talking to-
day of the maneuvers said that an.
other question which it was expected
to decide was to whether there should
be a reorganization of cavalry on an
other basis. It is contended that this
branch of the service should be more
in accord with the system in use in
several European countries, where
the size of cavalry with each division
of the army is much smaller than in
this country. He explained that on
the present army basis a division of
troops when on a complete army
footing would spread over II or IL
miles when marching. For the pur-
pose of determining whether this was
too unwie.Ly a body and whether it
could be reduced in certainr aspects
the troops would be formed into COM
plete divisions.

New York, Mar. 18.-The Mexican
vice consul here, Manuel A. Esteva,
made a long statement to the press
today, in which he Unexpectedly con.
firmed the understanding that Senor
Limantour, Mexican minister of fin
ance, is the bearer of important pro.
posals from the insurrectos to the

Permit me to say" he urged, that
it seems to me great mistake for
the newspapers to print from day to
day rumors from the Texas border
as to whether Limantour will be per.
mitted to make the journey safely
across Mexico. He is returning to
Mexico with important plans with re-
spect to reforms and the general i'm
provement of the country"
This face, the vice consul argues,
should be regarded as of the great.
est importance, but the publication of
rumors that the insurrectos may burn
bridges ahead of Senor Limantour's
train, he believes, might incite in.

such a thing to interfere with his

dent, not to block Senor Limantour's
