In Case the Situation Demands
Such Action
ORDERS FROM WASHINGTON
This Is Most Sweeping Order That Has
Gone Out from White House Since
the Present Trouble in
Mexico Began.

Washington, d. G., Feb. 26.-ln the
dt termination that no more American
| lives shall be sacrificed as result OF
| fighting on the Mexican border, the
American troops We're reinforced by the
government at Washington Saturday
and orders were given that firing into
American territory must be stopped,
even though it be necessary to cross
the boundary line to enforce compliance.
The order, the most sweeping that has
gone out from the White House in the
present situation, was issued after a
conference between President Taft, Sec
rotary of War Stimson and Acting Sec
retarv Of State Huntington Wilson.
In addition to sending another regi-
ment of infantry and three batteries of
field artillery to the Mexican line, orders
were issued to division commanders
throughout Che country to hold their
commands in readiness to move at a
moments notice. The acute situation in
Mexico has had the effect of putting the
army establishment in a high state OF
preparedness, and mobilization on the
Rio Grande could be effected quickly if
the occasion arose.
The Mexican government, it is under
stood, will be advised of the intention
of the United States to prevent at all
hazards repetition of the casualties
due to stray bullets coming across the
line, which marked the fighting during
the Madero revolution at several towns
along the border A neutral zone along
the border will be insisted upon in
which fighting must cease. This zone
the United States intends to have re-
spected, as evidenced by Saturdays
White House conference and the result
ing orders.
If information brought in Saturday
to FL Paso, Tex, by Mexican railroad
laborer is correct, the advance of the
Nasquista rebels on Juarez has begun.
The Mexican said a rebel troop train
had arrived on the northwestern line,
Il miles below Juarez. He said that
troops were detrained and the cars sent
back for more soldiers. Wires on the
line are down. The reported arrival
OF the rebels at Bauehe was confirmed
when railroad officials in Juarez re-
ceiyed a demand to send out three cars
Of water. They complied.
The rebels will make a demand, il is
said, for the towns surrender. II is be-
lieyed there will be no resistance. An
anti American proclamation was issued |

tonic Rojas is reported coming from
MADEIRA and Inez Solazar and his COM |

The Mexico Northwestern officials start |
ed two trains Friday night from the
south toward Juarez, but did net know

of its residents have moved to FL Paso.
