HOLD TROOPS ON BORDER
BRITISH CRUISERS ARE ORDER
ED TO VERA CRUZ.
Senator Sheppard and Representative
Henry Requested War Department
to Keep Strong Force on Border.

Two events connected with the
military and navy situation in regard
to Mexico Wednesday gave a faint
tinge Of interest to a day otherwise
unmarked by developments. Early
in the day Gen. Bliss, commanding
the American troops on the Mexican
borders, was authorized by the war
department at Washington to deta1n
indefinitely the Second cavalry rega-
ment, at Fort Bliss, and the Fifth at
Fort Huachuca. They were to have
come north as soon as they were re-
lieyed, by the two regiments recent
ly ordered to Texas for that purpose.
Senator Sheppard and Representa-
tive Henry, of Texas, pointing to the
danger to which their people at Ell
Paso and other points were exposed
by the reported approach Of a large
force Of Mexican federals intent on
revenging themselves upon the troops
OF Gen. Villa for the capture Of Jau-
rez, had urged the war department
to keep all four regiments on the bor-
der.
News that three big British cruis-
ers had been ordered to proceed from
West Indian ports to Vera Cruz Gre
ated some comment in official cir
cles, where it was recalled that re-
cent London dispatches had indicat-
ed that the British government would
entrust the interests ofstheir subjects
in Mexico to the United States.
It was pointed out, however, that
the Washington government had vel
coined the appearance Of foreign war
ships in Mexican waters and that the
gathering Of British, German, Japan
ese and French vessels off the coast
might indicate to Gen. Huerta a
growing lack Of confidence on the
part Of the powers in his ability long
er to maintain himself and insure the
safety Of foreigners in Mexico.
The announcement in Mexico. that
British squadron is coming to Mex
lean waters created keen interest, but
the effect upon the Mexican mind was
reassuring rather than otherwise, ex-
plains dispatch from Mexico City,
because the Mexican people continue
to look upon Great Britain as a
friend. In official quarters the dis
patch OF the squadron was styled as
an act Of courtesy.
Army reports greatly minimize the
strength Of the contending forces at
Jaurez last week, indicating that VIII
las rebel command did not exceed
$500 while the federal garrison was
only about 900 strong. The staff Of
fcers are inclined to believe that the
apparently surprising apathy Of the
federal commanders can be explain
ed only upon the theory that they are
endeavoring to take the rebels by
surprise and will Unexpectedly ap-
pear in great force at some point
where they expect to infict a telling
blow.
