From 1000 Guardsmen.

Washington, Mar. 15.-"Troops have
not been massed on the Mexican from
tier. The 10000 now assembling at
San Antonio are far from the frontier
The movement of troops to San An
tonic has nothing to do with the Me
lean situation"
This was the statement of Maj-Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the
army.
Before departure for New York,
Secretary of War Dickinson said: Il
do not believe there will be any move
ment of our troops into Mexico. There
can be no excuse for intervention un-
less the Mexican government proves
negligent in protecting the persons
and property of foreign resid lnts, and
such negligence would have to be
firmly established in my opinion, he
fore any such step could be taken.
There are no conditions now existent
to give such a warrant.
"In order to main ain the neutrality
laws, 1t has been de med advisable to
send troops to the border and on ac
count of the immense length of the
frontier and the fact that the Ri
Grande can be crossed at almost any
point, a larger number Of troops has
been dispatched than would otherwise
prove necessary"

3,402 ARE PLAGUE VICTIMS
CHINESE CITY LOSES ONE-FlFTH
OF POPULATION.
Consul Greene Reports to State De-
partment Ravages of Plague
From Time of Outbreak.

Washington, Mar. 15-Fully one
fifth of the entire population of the
northern Manchurian city of Fuchia-
tien had perished from the ravages Of
the plague from the time of its out
break to the end of January, accord
ing to reports from United States
Consul Greene at Harbin. The exact
number was 3,402 in Fuchiatien alone,
while at Harbin the total reached S31,
including Is Europeans.
Late in January three English ply
sicians began work in Fuchiatien, and
500 Russian soldiers were sent there
to assist in enforcing the quarantine
and sanitary measures.
While the official figures at\Fuchia-
tlen show that 144 perished daily dur
ing the week ending January "a, it
is generally believed that about 200
persons then were dying daily and
! that altogether nearly 1000 had per-
ished there or in the immediate vi
cinity.
The Russian authorities at Harbin
are maintaining four laboratories in
which the necessary meteorological ex
aminations are made to verify the dt
agnosis of new cases.
Innoculations with plague vaccine
are being made free of charge at two
places in Harbin.
Little has been determined as tc
the value of the preventive treatment
Three European and two Chinese ply
sicans have succumbed to the disease
and several Russian assistants and at
tendants who have been innoculatet
have nevertheless died of plague.

Statements at Variance.

The statements of the two head Off

variance. General Wood followed his
statement up with another that the
troops had been sent to San Antonio
for maneuvers which would last sew

He said he expected to visit the camp,
but not before the latter part OF April.
General Wood said no more troops
would be sent to the maneuvers, neith-
er would any more cavalry be dis

From another source in the war de-
partment came the statement that,
while no orders had been issued for
| the sending of a second division OF
| $4,000 troops to San Antonio, orders
/ had been issued for an additional 10.
600 troops to hold themselves in read
iuess to move at a moments notice.
