Revelations Expected.
'Our information leads us to believe"
said Mr.. Wasservogel. after hearing the
story OF the woman witness. that an
autopsy will reveal much more than has
already been disclosed as to the manner
in which Mrs. Szabo came to her death.
1t is likely to show that her death was
due to more than drowning. The circum-
stances look very suspicious and 1t Is
very important to have them either veri-
fed or disproved."
Gibson. when told today OF the inten-
ton Of the authorities to have Mrs. Sza-

MEXICAN SITUATION.
HELD BY OFFICIALS
HERE TO BE SERIOUS

Two developments in the Mexican situa-
ton yesterday led observers to regard
conditions as grave.
President Taft ordered two full regi-
ments Of cavalry to the border line, and
the Madero government contemplated
asking permission of the United States to
transport it's loyal troops through Texas
and New Mexico. to attack the scattered
bands Of marauding rebels sallying across
the line attacking American ranches and,
stealing cattle.
After Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief
Of staff of the army. had talked over the
telephone with President Taft at Beverly,
the 18th Cavalry from Fort D. A. Russell,
Wyo., and the 9th Cavalry from Fort
Riley, Kan. were put under rush orders
to join the border patrol. The President
made 1t plain that under no circumstances
were the troops to cross the line and
that he still regarded Intervention as an
act Of the very last resort.
