Arizona, asking protection for citizens
of Douglas from the fire of federal and
insurrectos, that he was loa1h to en-
danger Americans in Mexico by taking
so radical a step as sending American
troops across the border to prevent
further fighting.
The president, in his telegram to
the governor, said the situation might
justify him in ordering troops to cross
the border and attempt to stop the
fighting or to fire upon both contest
ants from the American side. He hes
itated to take such step, however, be-
cause of the possibility of resistance
and greater bloodshed and the danger
of having his motives misconstrued
and arousing Mexicans against Ameri-
cans now in Mexico and jeopardizing
their lives and property.
In view OF the conditions. therefore.
the president felt he could not order
troops at Douglas to cross the border.
but he again emphasized the advisa-
bility of the people of Douglas avoid
ing exposing themselves to flying bull
let's.

NO TROOPS co
TO PHILIPPINES
FOR 6 MONTHS

Washington, April 1s.-The de.
parture of all troops now under or.
ders for duty In the Philippines will
be delayed six months. This is gen.
orally attributed TO the serious con.
dition in Mexico, the president being
unwilling to disturb the forces or
duty in the south. At the war de.
partment, it IS explained the post
ponement is due to decision to
make the tour OF service in the Phil
ippines two years and half instead
OF two, as at present. This PROPOSE
tion long has been under considera-
ton and the acute Mexican situaf
tion seems 20 have presented the op-
portun5f: for putting II into effect.
