AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 22.-The gov
ernor has ordered Gen. Hoard, COM
mander of the militia, to be ready to
move his entire command to the bor-
der at a moments notice.

Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 22.-Presi-
dent Maderos declaration of his iron
hand" policy in dealing with the revo-
lutionists, which threaten his rule, has
had the effect of "Quieting' the more
loud spoken of the the insurrectos
along the line and today the Reyes
supporters are preparing to leave the
border.
The orders which have been re-
ceived from Washington leave no
doubt in the minds of the Reyistas
that the United States government is
opposed to a new revolution.
President Madero today sent $4,000
trops to the zone along the interna-
tional line and clearly Indicated that
the iron hand" will be of real Iron"
and not merely on paper.
With the $4,000 troops went two bat
teries of mounted artillery, of four
guns each, four batteries of machine
guns of two guns each.
President Madero has proclaimed
insurrectos bandits indicating that
he intends to emulate Diaz's mailed
fist" policy.
The Mexican government is skep-
tical concerning the inauguration OF
the Reyes-VasQuez revolution, but
should it begin, President Madero and
his cabinet believe the army would be
sufficient to check it.
All these troops are under the order
of General Orozco, who was President
Madero's chief of staff during the rev.
Olution, with headquarters at Monte
rey, but the chief of operations will be
Gen. Guvince Robes, now at Torreon,
in command of thousand men, who
are being held in that city as result
of the strike.
The rurales and volunteers will be
under command of Col. Francisco Ma
ranjo. With the exception OF the ru-
rales, most of whom will remain in
the state of Durango and Chihuahua,
the regular forces are almost equally
divided between infantry and cavalry
In addition, 2400 volunteers of the
state of NeuvO Leon, now under the
command of Naranjo, have been de-
tailed for service along the frontier.
A corps of engineers and a medical
corps will soon follow the troops
