POST AT BISMARCK WILL
BE INCREASED.

Washington, March Fort Lincoln
at Bismarck, thanks to the activities
Of Senator McCumber will shortly be
enlarged to accommodate two bat
talions Of Uncle Sans army. Presi-

Cun1beF conferred about the matter,
already has given the North Dakota
senator his assurances that the war
department will be asked to enlarge
Fort Lincoln in conformity to these
plans at the earliest opportunity. The

Washington, March An army
OF approximately 10000 men, rem
resenting all branches of the serv-
Ice, is mObilizing along the Next
can border Of the United States.
While every effort was made in
official circles here to give this
great movement the appearance of
the simple preparation for maneu-
Vers, there were persistent rumors
that the government is preparing
Tor more serious eventualities.
Confidential reports from Mexico
or late have encouraged the belief
OF many that conditions in the
Mexican government are far from
being as satisfactory as official
assertions seek to indicate. I'm
mense foreign interests are at
stake in Chihuahua, for example,
and their owners have been very
uneasy as TO what would happen
to them in case Of widespread dis
orders.
