"Making ready to concentrate its
entire mobile force along the southern
border, the war department today or
dered three complete regiments now in
the Philippines to hurry with all posi-
BILE speed back TO the United States.
These regiments are in addition to the
Fourteenth Cavalry, now on the sea
homeward bound from the Orient.

today are cavalry and one is infantry.

hasten to San Antonio. A fifth regi-
ment now in the Philippines, was or
dered to Hawaii and informed that it

"The department of state today adj
mitted the almost incredible fact that
it is actually treating with the Mex
lean ambassador on the demand of
Mexico that the United States shall
pay duty on the arms consigned to the
American ambassador at Mexico City
for the protection of American citizens
whom the Madero government admits
1T cannot protect.
Government Is Taxed.
'This puts the American government
In the amazing position of being taxed
for the privilege of preventing its own
citizens from being murdered in law

amazing, the state department is show
ing decided symptoms of captivating
to Mexico $ demands.
elm response to an appeal from Gov
ernor Colquitt of Texas that former
Policeman Roberts of Ell Paso, who is
held prisoner by the instructors in
Mexico, be released, the state depart
ment began feeble attempt today to
unwind red tape.
cit contended that if it made pres
entation to the insurrecros TO release
him, it would thereby recognize their
belligerency, which it does not intend
to do. At the same time the depart
ment realizes the futility of appeal to
Madero, who is unable to release his
own men held prisoners by the revolu-
tionary forces. In the meantime Rob
erts has been acquitted by a rebel
court martial on charges of being a
spy and will be released.
Conformation reached the department
today that Indicated the insurrectos
are now in possession of more than
half of Mexico.
Senate Wants Facts.
Expressing extreme dissatisfaction
with the manner in which the state
department has permitted Japan to pull
che wool over its eyes as to her inten-
tions in Magdalena bay, member of
the foreign relations committee said to-
day that the object of the Lodge resol-
ution is to take the entire problem out
of the hands Of the department and of
the President and invest it in the sem
ate.
$50 anxious was the foreign relations
committee to accomplish it's object that
the President was not apprised that
such a resolution was contemplated
until after it had been introduced and
passed.
eff President Taft was not informed
by the state department that on Tues.
day, when the Lodge resolution was
introduced, Japanese syndicate was
actively engaged in negotiating for a
vast tract of land along Magdalena
bay, he will be made aware of that
fact tomorrow when Senator Lodge
calls at the White House.
"The sentiment entertained at the
White House for the senator since the
introduction of his resolution is illus
trated by the fact that when Lodge
called TO present his information to.
day the President could not make it
convenient TO see him"
