On receipt OF the governors : message
TWO troops Of cavalry were Immediately
ordered from San Antonio TO the troubled
district. with orders either 10 disarm the
maraudng Mexicans or send Them back
across the line. If they offer resistance
and thereby precipitate a conflict there
is grave fear that the hatred OF Aneri-
cans that has long smoldered in the
more !aUless element OF the MeXicans
VIII burst into flame and that more than
lew troops OF cavalry will be required
10 deal with the situation.
AS is usual In grave extremities the
war department today became sudd enly
reticent about its plans as 10 tho dis
position OF troops in the troubled zone
II is known, nevertheless, that at least
TWO regin cnts, one OF cavalry and one OF
infantry, are held In readiness TO be dis
patched TO the border at the first report
of an outbreak.
The president and the secretary OF war
are both disposed to hold Madero, rath-
er tnan tho insurgent commanders re-
sponsible for the acts OF Mexicans who
create disturbances on this side of the
line. The United States has not recog
nized tho pretensions OF Orozco and can
not deal with that general politicalIv
