partrnent to-day stating that the Presi-
dent contemplates calling a special session
o. Congress TO consider measures Tor re-
storing peace and preserving the integrity
of the country.
The Mexican press IS understood 10 be
printing reports TO the effect that the
American army has been ordered to cross
the Mexican border. These publications
have infsmed the people In certain sec
tons Just as similar reports last spring
inhamed the populace At that time the
state Department. at the request OF Presi-
dent Diaz, sent circular to all consuls
in Mexico for local publication. declaring
such reports to be without foundation.
There IS no intention OF duplicating these
circulars at present, and the State Depart

diers TO enter Mexico from El Paso. These
troops have been allowed TO enter Ameri-
can territory from Laredo and proceed 10
El Paso. to re-entcr there, 70 augment
the Juarez garrison.

in and about Juarez will fire upon the

eral Duncan has been instructed to pro-
vide a small guard Of soldiers to receive
the Mexican troops upon their entry into
the United States and to escort them TO
the middle of the international bridge at

Secretary Knox has assured Governor
Colou.tt that no permission will be granted
until the matter has been carefully studied,
ana indications tonight were that 1t would
be adjusted in a leasurely diplomatic man

been decided.
The state Department practically had
completed arrangements for the expedition.

that Mexico intended not alone TO replenish
the garrison opposite El Paso. Tex, but TO
pour a host Of troops into Northern Chi
huahua for a general military movement
there. II is indicated that while the rebels

they might offer armed resistance TO q
movement aimed generally at the trouble
