ON THE BORDER
Gen. Duncan is Ordered to
Keep Close Watch.
5000 MEN IN THE VICINITY
indications OF Another Revolution In
MexIco-About 5000 u. s. Troops
Still In Vicinity OF the
American Line.

Washington.--It Is reported here
that serious situation undoubtedly is
developing in Mexico. Recent reports
of disturbances in various parts Of the
republic at first were regarded as
based upon nothing more than the
ebullitions Of halfstrained soldiers who
found it difficult to return to the ways
of peace. Now, however, reports are
reaching Washington from various
sources, most Of them confidential, but
accepted as reliable by officials here,
indicating that there is danger Of an
other revolution which may absorb
within it the various lesser and
sporadic disorderly bands in various
parts of the republic.
AS precautionary measure orders
for the departure of American troops
from the border have been revoked,
SO the soldiers will be on hand for the
prompt dissipation of any considerable
gatherings on American soil of would
be revolutionists.
Instructions have been issued to
Brigadier General Joseph w. Duncan,
commanding the Department OF Texas,
to keep close watch for any viola
lions OF the neutrality laws and report
Immediately to the War Department
anything approximating revolutionary
tactics
Altogether, the Army now has about
5000 men in the vicinity of the Mex
lean border. At San Antonio there is
the Third Cavalry, Twenty-second In
fantry and battalion Of field artillery.
The Twenty-third Infantry is along the
Rio Grande, the Fourth Cavalry is at
Ell Paso and two troops of the Twelfth
Cavalry are. at Fort Huachuca.
Austin. Tex.-Two companies of
Texas Rangers were ordered to the
border, with instructions to prevent
any activity in Texas toward starting
a revolution in Mexico.
These movements were made after
conference between Governor Col
quit and Ranger Captain Hughes, who
claims to have evidence that part OF
the preparations for Mexican reyo-
luton are under way in Texas.
