Washington. D. c., April 15.-The
whole OF the Sixth Cavalry has been
ordered to move tonight from Des
Moines to the Mexican border and to
take station near the scene OF the
disorders nj Aqua Prieta.
The commanding officer at Aqua
Prieta has been given carte blanche
TO summon to his assistance the troop
he needs, pending the arrival of to-
sixth Cavalry Specifically. he hs4e
been Instructed to concentrate immesS
diately at Douglas and Aqua Prieta
four more troops of cavalry.
Colonel Sibley. in command of the
Department OF Colorado, has been or
dcrcd to move his headquarters from
Denver to Huachuca forty miles north
of Douglas and Asul Prieta, El
These orders were the result of con-
ference to-day ut the White House be-'
tween the President and General Wood, J.
CHIEF of staff. and were based on
private reports and reports made pub
lie from private paroles and military
officers along the border.
To Enforce Ultimatum.
The concentration of troops and the
increase which las been ordered were
decided upon so as TO put the United
States In position TO carry outfits
policy as announced oihcially last
night by TIE President to Mexico that
there shall be no recurrence OF tho
events which took place day before
yesterday at Aqua Prieta. M
1t was ascertained day that there
have been no orders to any commander
along the border to cross the border
under any circumstances until he gets
the command direct from Washington
Taken In connection With the views
expressed ut the White House yester-s
day. It is tile PRESIDENT who will de-
termine whether the troops shall cross
the border IL tie AIeHicans or insurrec-
tos, or both combined. begin lighting In
a position that will endanGer the lives
and property of American citizens.
The President up to a late hour this
afternoon, had no reply from the Mex
lean government as to the warning
given President Diaz By the State
Department that the MeXicans shall
not select places OF battle where there
is apt to be danger to American non-
combatants
This reply will be important. as it
will deal with International rights and
privileges of war; as, in the case of
Mexico. the efforts to put down an
nsurrection. or "seditlon," as 1t is
called az the Mexican capital
Male plain by England.

Where tho Interest CT such government
is adversely affected was made plain
by Great Britain in her descent a day
or two ago on Mexican SOIL and her
prevention OF lighting by the insu1-
rectos at San Quentin, in Lover Calf
fornia. Si "a
Great Britain acted as II It were a.
settled principle that she should land
her mar ines on Mexican soil and order
the insurrectos to stop fighting.
The adherence 10 such principle /
is at least strongly limited at by thisi
government in It's dispatches TO ti5oj
Mexican government yesterday. For I
the moment, those questions are CON
