San Antonio. Tex, March "a
With the new demand Tor six or seven
thousand recruits, the issuance Of an
order by General Carter making pro-
visions for a sudden move, should IL
be required and a statement by DR..
Caricristi, one of the dominant fig
ures in the Mexican revolutionary
junta, that the United States would
intervene in Mexico unless there was
a definite show of tranquility by May
/, the war cloud loomed large today.
Dr. Caricristi felt sure enough OF
his facts to embody them in report
TO Francisco l. Madero, the revolu-
tionary leader, who at the last re-
port was within thirty miles of the
city of Chihuahua. DR.. Caricristi
urged the insurrecto chief to achieve
a decisive victory at all costs by May
L. for, he wrote. President Taft Will
not wait longer than that for quiet to
be restored, business resumed and the
traffic over the railroads to be
opened The courier departed today,
Most of DR.. Caricristi's Investigate
ing was done at Washington, although
he has been on the ground at El
Paso and Laredo and is now In this
city. An inkling Of something un-
usual afoot reached him some time
before the famous Paris interview
with Jose Yves Limantour, the
Mexican minister of finance. and he
proceeded at once to Washington. In
an interview today he said;
"Of course a complete federal tri-
umph In Chihuahua. the restoration
a ~ hAp Et
ness, likewise would avoid interven-
tion. But do know absolutely that
President Taft Is determined that or
der shall be restored, and quickly. by
one side or the other i'm Mexico, with
the alternative of Intervention.
'In my report to Senior Madero, |
pointed out the necessity of captur-
ing and holding the state Of Chihua-
hua If this can be accomplished, !
am convinced the revolutlonists VIII
be recognized as belligerents by the
United States and other governments.
II have reason to believe that May
/ Is the date set for the termination
of President Taft's patience with the
disorder south of the Rio Grande.
Neither side wants Intervention, and
| believe firmly that federals and
revolutonists would make common
cause against an invader.
THE financial interests of the
United States In Mexico are immense
and with those OF Europe are greater
In a money sense than those of Mexi-
co. Recently I compiled statistics
which show that there is billion dol
lars OF American capital in that coun-
try and that the interest of Europe
Is about half that sum.
"a n
Of the credit in Mexico Is In the hands
OF Americans and Europeans.
Just how much influence has been
exerted in Mexico by certain great in
torests 7 cannot say I CEN swear
that the revolution started within its
own borders, of its own force, for ]
helped to start It. But II gives food
for thought to know that one of the
big interests. which has millions in
vested, has always been on the friend
Hest terms with President Diaz and
has received many concessions from
him Another interest with more
money and an eye on certain great
natural resources Of the country has
been antagonized at court by the for
mer. The interests of the latter In
q change of administration seems OBJ
vious."
General Carter's order reads as fol-
lows:
'Under instructions from the war
department, the base for the division
has been established at Fort sam
Houston. Tex, under direction OF
General Joseph w. Duncan,
r. s. A. The property accountable
ty of Officers belonging to the divis-
on will be limited to the articles of
equipment and supply which are to
actually accompany the division In

Under the provisions of field serv-
ce regulations and general order No

ion commanders will see that the

"Ry command of Major General
Carter. Lieutenant f. Ladd, adjutant

General Joseph w Duncan Is very
skeptical about another report ar
riving today and declaring that
Amercan soldiers across from DINA
"a have been fired upon by Mexican
regulars. A telegram was received
