Won't Withdraw Troops From Texas.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.--There
will be no Withdrawal OF troops from
Texas in the near future, II was de-
olared at the war department to-day,
despite the resignation of President
Diaz and the prospect of peace in
Mexico. II General Wood has his
way. the troops viii remain at San
Antonio until next winter.
Though taking a hopeful view OF
the Mexican situation. and believing
that Diaz's resignation will do much
TO restore peace and order. neither
army officers nor officials of the state
department are convinced that the
end Is in sight.
The principal reason for the re-
tentiop of the troops in Texas. how
ever. is the determination OF Major
General Wood that a 'maneuver
division having been assembled for
the first time since the Civil war il
shall remain until IT has thoroughly
learned the lessons the general stan
has set out for it. The opportunity.

Mail Dispatched by Aviator Carriers

of carrying mail by aeroplanes:
This is not the first instance in
which United States mails have been
officially authorized to be carried by
aeroplanes. In November of last year
Postmaster General Hitchcock formal
ly approved arrangements for the car
rying of pouch of mail from the
transatlantic steamer Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria, outbound to Europe,
back to New York city while the YES
sci was off the Long Island coast.
Aviator J. A. D. McCurdy was to have
attempted this first official aerial
transmission of mails, but because OF
stormy weather the attempt was not
made.
The first successful areoplane letter
route was that opened recently by
the British postal administration,
which began a series Of experiments
in the carrying of malls by aeroplane
from Hendon. England, to Windsor
Castle. distance of almost twenty
miles. Four aviators with two BIZ
planes and two monoplanes were en-
gagged In the work and about one
hundred thousand letters constituted
the first delivery. These experiments
have been watched with considerable
interest by the United States postof-
fee authorities, who are of the opin-
ion that the day when letters will be
forwarded from city to city by airships
is not far distant.
