PRESIDENT AUTHORIZES THE
MOVEMENT OF CAVALRY

Beverly, Mass, Sept. president
Taft this afternoon authorized Major
General Leonard Wood. chief of staff
of the United States army, by tele-
phone, to dispatch at once two more
regiments of cavalry to the Mexican
border. No authorization was given
by the president to have the troops
cross the border. The president re-
CARDS the situation as grave.
The president directed the dispatch
of one regiment from Forty Riley,
Texas, and one from Fort d. A. Rus
sell, wyoming. 1t was said here to-
day that while no more troops are to
be sent during the next few days the
situation has become alarming to the
Washington authorities.
Conditions in both southern and
northern Mexico are regarded rs par
ticularly bad at this time but the
president has been especially concerned
about affairs along the American bor-
der. He did not hesitate when Gen
eral Wood called for more troops to
authorize their dispatch to the border
and he told his friends that the situa-
ton apparently was going from bad to
worse.
1t can be stated on authority, how
ever, that intervention will not be con-
sidered by Mr.. Taft except as last
resort. He has told many OF his ad-
visers that he would not send the army
across the Texas border unless posi-
tive move had been made to afford
protection by the Madero government

CAPT. MAHON
NOT AFTER DOG
SOME OF HIS FRIENDS IN PEN
SAcoLA PLAYED A PRACTICAL
JOKE ON HIM YESTERDAY.

Captain Jack Mahon, the young Mo
bile soldier who is on a visit to B. Z,
Mccoy, was evidently the subject Of a
joke last night. When he returned to
Goes Book Store from supper he
noticed man standing by the door
with about four dogs of different sizes.
On entering the store he was told
that the man wanted to sell him a
dog. Captain Mahon was surprised,
especially at the assortment on hand.
He said, No, l am not in the market
for dog. If l was I would get one at
home"
Captain Mahon's friends put one over
on him, and while Captain Mahon en-
joyed the joke, he regretted that the
man who had the dogs was put to SO
much trouble. Captain Mahon says
that he found The Pensacola Journal

territory. In the late Madero rebellion
forces were sent through Arizona and
California to protect the American
bikes and irrigation works on the
Colorado river in Lower California.
War department advices say General
Salazar is personally responsible for
the rebel raids on this side of the
line. In the skirmish yesterday on the
Culberson ranch, American soldiers
captured Mexican rebel who says
Salazar has ordered the men across the
line to round up beef for his command.
General Steever has dispatched troop
c of the third cavalry to the scene of
the trouble. Troop B, fourth cavalry.
has gone from Fort Muachuca to Ari-
vaca, Arizona, to reinforce the patrol
on the border line.
Acting upon President Taft's au-
thority the treasury department today
authorized the expectation into Mexico
of 500 rifles and 10000 cartridges for
the use of Americans in the protection
of their lives and property. The arms
will be forwarded to the consular
agent at Cananea for distribution.

GOOD TIMES At
BLUFF SPRINGS
CROPS ARE GOOD AND FRESH
MEAT is SELLING AT 8 AND 10
CENTS PER POUND DELIVERED,
Special TO The journal.

Bluff Springs. Sept. THE farmers
here are wearing the smile that won't
come off. The corn crop is good, po-
tatoes, peas and peanuts are extra;
cotton is only medium and shedding
badly on account or too much rain,
but picking is pretty general now, and
the hay crop of pursley, and crab grass
is the finest ever seen here.
If the hay crop now growing here
was properly saved, were would be
plenty for home use and market half
the crop, and the beauty of it is no one
ever has to plant for a hay crop here.
A farmer may cultivate as clean as he
can and after corn is laid by, the hay
crop grows and if it is wet or rainy
through July and August the hay crop
is assured.
The market wagon has Just driven
up, q a. m.) and announced fresh
beef at cents for fore quarters; and
10 cents for steak, so you see that the
high cost of living is not worrying the
people here in these pineywoods. They
get beef fresh from the pastures at
these prices two or three times a
week. The Chicago prices do1't trouble
the people here and when the Demo-
Gratis get that --- head off the
throne and get real president (for
instance, Woodrow Wilson, who will

heads have had the say too 'ong now
