H Fort McPherSon, Ga, was the ' -< first organization to reach San < l> Antonio. and it was in camp un- > -< der canvass three and half ' l< days after orders. . 
 San Antonio, Tex, March 2s-What with the new demand for 60o0 or 1000 re- cruits; the issuance of an order by Gen eral Carter making provisions for sud den move, should 1t be required, and a statement by c. F. Caricrsti, one of the dominant figures in the Mexican revolu- tionary junta, that the United States would intervene in Mexico unless there was definite show of tranquility by May l, the recently diminished war cloud 1oomed large again today.
 pr. Caricristi felt sure enough of his acts to embody them in a report to Fran cisco I. Madero, the revolutionary leader who at the last report was within 90 miles of the city of Chihuahua. pr. Caricrist urged the insurrecto chief to achieve a decisive victory at all costs by May 1, for, he wrote, President Taft will not wait longer than that for quiet to be restored. business resumed and traffic over the rail- roads to be secure. The courier departed from here today
 Dr. Carcristi, who is one of the direct ing minds of the revolutionary junta, is a lawyer physician and a world trave- Ter. probably their best trained diplofnat- ist. The letter is not an order, for Ma dero is the supreme leader, but is in the rature of a report on the meaning of the mobilization of American troops at Fort Sam Houston. ss-f
 Investigated at Washington
 Most of pr. Caricristi's Investigating was done at Washington although he has been at Fl Paso and Laredo and is at present in this city. An inkltng of some thing unusual afoot reached him some time before the famous Paris interview with Jose Y. Limantour. the Mexican minister of finance, and he proceeded at once to Washington. In an interview he said:
 "Of course, a complete federal tri- unlph in Chihuahua. the restoration of Communications and other business like wise would avoid intervention. But do know absolutely that President Taft is determined that order shall be restored and quickly by one side or the other in Mexico with the alternative of inter- yention.
 ''In my report to Senor Madero I point out the necessity of capturing and hold ing the state of Chihuahua. If this can be accomplished am convinced that the Tebels will be recognized as belgerents by the United States and others.
 '1 have reason to believe that May is the date set for the termination of Pres identS Taft's' patience with the disorder south of the Rio Grande. Neither sloe wants intervention, and I believe firmly that federals and revolutionists would make common cause against an invader.
 Large American Interests
 ''The financial interests of the United States in Mexico is immense, and with that of Europe is greater in money sense than that of Mexico. Recently I compiled statistics which show that there is $1,0O0 0O0 GOO of American money in that country, and that the interests of Europe is about half that sum. It is a fact that 75 per cent of the credit in Mexico is ill the hands of Americans and Europeans.
 Just how much influence has been ex- erted in Mexico by certain great inter- ests I cannot say. I can swear that the revolution started within its own bor- 1ers with it's own force, for I helped to start 1t. But it gives food for thought to know that one of the big interests that nas millions invested has always been on The friendliest terms with President Diaz and has received many concessions from i'm. Another interest with more money and an eye on a certain great natural esource of the country has been antag- )nized at court by the former. The in crest of the latter in a change of au- ninistration seems obvious
 General Carter's order reads. in part as follows:
 Under instructions from the war de- n hn haG fnt been established at Fort Sam Houston. Tex. under direction of Brig Gen. Jo 4eph w. Duncan, United States army.
 A Permanent Camp
 ''At present the division will be ra- yarded as In permanent camp, pre- pared to move with field service allow ance only. For practice marches au- horized tentage and permanent camp equipment will be left in camp with proper guard to insure it's protection. Should orders be given moving the di- ;lsion from this permanent camp orders VIII be issued from these headquarters Tor the disposition of the authorized camp entage and equipment which need not :. present be transferred to the base upply office.
