Senator Sheppard yesterday wired
both the Chamber of Commerce and
Judge Goodrich, and asked if the federal
government is supplying "sumcicnt
troops for the Texas border He also
asked that the Traditional" number
NEEDED be stated. and at what point they
should be located.
From the wording Of his message il
appears that Senator Sheppard is un-
der the impression that soldiers have al-
ready been detailed for border service.
The telegram sent him 10y the Chamber
of Commerce Will diSilluSion him, for
no men have been sent for border patrol
along the lower border.
The Chamber Of Commerce i'll its reply
suggested to Senator Sheppard that
there are three hundred miles of urDrO-
tected territory contiguous 70 Browns
Vile, and that il believed that at least
fifteen hundred men should bc seat.
Judge Goodrich wired that not less than
four troops Of cavalry could SatiSfactor-
iIy patrol the border in Cameron, Starr
and Hidalgo county.
It was reported this morning that
troops of cavalry are already en- route
to Brownsville but the report was nor
confirmed. It is probable. however, that
there viii be men here within very
short time.

POLICY OF y. 8. NOT CHANGED.
Attack on Americans or Foreigners
Would Cause Intervention.

Washington, Feb. 4-The killing of
Francisco l. Madero and Pine Suarez,
deposed president and vice president
Of Mexico. after Provisional President
General Huerta had assured American
Ambassador Wilson 'of the safety OF
his prisoners from just such attacks.
created a painful impression in ad-
ministration circles here.
Probably the immediate result will
be to bAsten the military and naval
preparations in order to have the SOL
diers and sailors and marines ready
to answer q call TOR instant emburka-
'on II further developments in Mexico
should demand their employment.
The one danger to be apprehended,
which almost certainly would result
in the launching Of an army of inya-
sion, would be the commission of
some act or acts in Mexico that would
endanger the lives of foreign citizens
and Americans, for, having assured
the diplomatic representatives in
Washington OF the disposition and
ability OF this government to protect
their feliow-cftiZens in Mexico in the
same degree as Americans, the gov.
ernment has assumed an Obligation
that cannot be ignored Therefore
any attack upon the Americans or
foreigners by the tacit consent of the
Huerta government. or even the ex.
hibition towards them OF mob violence
clearly beyond the ability of the nro-
v1stonal government to prevent, proh.
ably would be the signal for active in.
tervention.
