Washington. D. c.. Feb. l0.-The
State Departments refusal to allow
armed Mexicans 10 cross the Amer
lean borter-on the ground that their
return TO Mexico might be the signal
for q battle injurirg Americans and
american property-was construed
here today to be only another indica-
ton OF the gathering wave Of anti
Mexican feeling, wave which will
probably result in the dispatch OF
$4,000 troops 10 the Mexican border
with the possibility Of military inter-
vention looming large in the back
ground.
Consular reports state that over
10000 Americans are scattered
throughout Mexico and there is little
doubt that, should American troops
cross the Rio Grande border-no mat
ter what aggrcssions the southern re-
public should inflict-an anti-Ameri-
can uprising would result. in which
many foreigners would lose their
lives. This consideration is the one
which holds back the arm OF the War
Department., and has so far prevented
the dispatch OF troops 10 the border.
War Department officials today
said that. on less than a weeks not
ice. 100000 men can be mustered
along the Rio Grandc. The mobile
army numbers $4,000 men; the
coast artillery will add about $4,000
