 San Francisco, March 17-Mine planting operations will begin at the entrance of San Francisco on or about April 1. The work will be done 5y the mine planting corps,. stationed at Presidio.
 The main topic of discussion among the ranking army officers of San Francisco is not the trouble along the Mexican border, but Japan. A theory is spreading among them that the real reason for assembling troops along the Mexican border has some thing to do with Japan. They point ito many facts to substantiate their theories.
 That the Fourth provisional cOmpa- nv was disbanded and sen: back to it's sts tion on the batteries and -Gm2iace- nents about the bay after being mo- bolized at the Presidio is considered significant, as is also the fact that the Fifth cavalary is beng rushed to San Francesca to be embarked fo: the Ha- waiian Islands and that the Second infantry will be sent thece on the Crook next week.
