Ell Paso, Texas, March 24.-Minister
Limantour's modified statement pub.
lished here today created much salts
faction among the insurrecto leaders.
1t was regarded as substantiating the
hope, which has not been entirely
abandoned, that some form of peace
proposal will soon emanate from Mex

Not Altogether Picnic.
San Antonio, Texas, March 24.-The
young man who had enlisted in the
regular army, but who had not been
assigned to regiment previous to the
mobilization of the United States

of these men have been given from
three to five hours day in continuous
drills in an effort to whip them into
condition before they are assigned to
the various regiments. Weather con-
ditions have made no difference. they

for service at all times. 1t can be
truthfully said that the new recruit!
have been getting number of things
which they did not know were on tht
j programme.
