10000 TROOPS
TO GAL WESTON
Opens the Way for an Invasion
of Mexico.
UP TO WILSON TO DECIDE.
Four Thousand Men Being Rushed
TO Southern Port AS
= Precautionary
Measure.

Washington. Alarmed at the
chaotic conditions in Mexico and at
the anarchy that has seized the re-
public since the fall of Madero, Presi-
dent Taft ordered the mobilization of
the Fifth Brigade Of the United States
Army at Galveston.
This brigade, numbering 1000 men
and recruited from the army posts OF
the Mississippi Valley, is ordered to
hold itself ready forforeignservice and
to equip itself for a campaign that
may last for months or even years.
Within five days the whole brigade
will be in camp at Galveston and be
ready for an expedition into Mexico.
The main purpose |of the expedition
is plain on its face. It is not intended
to invade Mexico, but the situation in
that country is regarded as sufficient
to warrant the. concentration of a
force strong enough to take possession
OF al seaport and open the way for an
invasion of the country.
1t will be for President Woodrow
Wilson to determine whether such an
expedition shall be dispatched, al
though, Of course, it is assumed that
he will first seek the guidance Of Con-
gress. Through trusted agents, though
not directly, the President-elect is I'M
derstood to have expressed his inter
est in the situation, and has placed
himself in a position to acquire specific
knowledge as to all the details before
he comes to Washington on March 8.
Going a Step Further.
Up to Saturday the War Department
officials had contented themselves with
the issue of preliminary orders to two
brigades of troops, the First Brigade,
first division, in New York State, and
the Fifth Brigade, second division, in
the Middle West. In the ordinary
course. it would require at least eight
days and perhaps longer to gather
these divisions at one Of the Gulf
ports, reay for embarkation.
1t has been decided that this is a
greater period Of time than can prop
erly be allowed to elapse before dis
patching troops to Mexico If great
emergency should arise
Therefore, it was with the. purpose
of saving this time that orders were
issued for the entertainment OF the en-
tire Fifth Brigade, second division. for
Galveston. the troops being under
command of Brigadier General Freder-
lex A. Smith, and comprising the
Fourth, Seventh, Nineteenth and
Twenty-eighth Regiments Of infantry:

gineers; Field Hospital No. 8, Ambul-
ance Corps No. and one Signal

Tragedy suggests the Favorite Mexi-

Mexico city Francis I. Madero, ex-
President, and Jose Pine Suarez, ex-
Vice-P President, were shot dead while
being removed under military escort
from the national palace to the peni-
tertiary.
The notorious fugitive law prevailed
In the killing, the official version, as
issued by President Huerta, saying
that Madero and Suarez attempted to
escape when their guards were at
tackled by Madero sympathizers.
President Huerta ordered the arrest
Of the officers and soldiers who acted
as the escort and rigid investigation
is promised, the Mexican Government
expressing regret.
President Taft declared that he saw
in the tragedy only the killing of one
Mexican citizen by another and that 1t
did not constitute cause for rinterven-
ton.
If he should deem invasion Of Mex
leo necessary he would appeal to Con-
gress for authority to order such
action.
A message received from Ambassa-
dor Wilson states that all the foreign
diplomats in Mexico City have de-
clined to attend a dinner to be given
by Foreign Minister De la Barra until
the shooting of Madero and Suarez is
explained.
The widows of Madero and Suarez

Reaction from the Sc, ere strain I'M
der which the diplomatic, military and

have been laboring for the last 10 days
because of the Mexican revolt is
marked by comparative lethargy pre-
vailing in those departments. A hasty
consultation between the heads of
various departments. conducted to
some extent by subordinates, resulted
in a general decision to maintain the
existing attitude toward Mexico not

Army and Navy to meet any emery

Mobilization Orders.
Though naturally gratified at the
termination Of the almost continuous
battle. that has ragged within the heart
of Mexico City for so long a period Of
time, it was deemed to be unwise to
permit that sentiment to affect the
progress of arrangements that are be-
ing made adequately to protect the
lives of foreigners in Mexico, in case
the situation should get beyond con-
troll of the new temporary govern
ment
Original orders to the Army officers
to have the soldiers ready to move at
short notice, and to the transports to
proceed to their assigned destinations
where they were to embark troops and
marines, were allowed to remain in
force, officials reasoning that some
benefit is to be derived from the ex-
perience that is gained through this
attempt at mobilization, even if there
should be no occasion to give it q
