Mexico City. Feb. 22.-Acceptance

is not so general as was first thought,
In the states Of Coahuila, Sonora and
aucatan. which from the moment Of
the overthrow Of Madero. declared
they were not in accord with the new
conditions. There must be added part
Of the state Of Oaxaca, where Serrano
Indians refused to recognize the gov.
ernment under President Huerta. The
governor Of OaXaca is so alarmed by
conditions in the state capital that he
asked reinforcements from here.
Between the federal capital and
port Vera Cruz conditions also are un.
certain. Bodies of federal troops have
been sent to the cities Of Julaha and
orizaba in the state of Vera Cruz to
maintain the balance of power. The
Indians IN Oaxaca are on the war path
from personal motives. Felix Diaz is
native of the state and the Indians
declare that inasmuch as he was not

president. Fidencis Hernandez, a ma

The Vera Cruz disturbance is sup.
posed to indicate support for the next
administration in that state is ques-
tionable. A small group of Madero
sympathizers stopped the train on
which Madero was supposed to be fee.
ing, with the object of rescuine the de.
posed president. 1t was reported to
General Roberto Velasco at Vera Cruz
that the venture had been successful
and he loaded the train with troops
and rushed Orizaba to fight under the
banner OF the fallen president. Huerta
rushed federal troops post haste to
Orizaba. where they surrounded and
disarmed Villasco's men.

The proposed foundation" says the
report. ''is an exception among
charitable trusts in that the element
OF perpetuity has been practically re-
moved. While 1t is eminently fitting
that congress should scrutinize with
the utmost care the provisions Of such
a character. with view to remedying

so fitting that congress should recog-
nize the possibilities Of good to this

Washington. Feb. 22.-The fifth
brigade of the second district Of the
reorgantzed army, consisting OF four
infantry regiments, commanded by
Brigadier General r. A. Smith, has
been ordered to Galveston, Tex, to
service.
There is no present purpose. officials
say, Of dispatching troops ready for
an emergency. 1t is intimated that
the one purpose is to provide Ambas-
sador Wilso with proper facilities to
carry out any. plans he may contem-
plate regarding the Mexican situation,
but the movement does not commit
him in any way to a policy Of forcible
Intervention.
The regiments affected by the order
are the fourth infantry at Fort Crook,
Neb.. and Fort Smelling, Mimi. the
seventh at Fort Leavenworth, the
nineteenth at Fort Leavenworth, Fort
Meade and Fort Sill, Okla, and the
twenty-eighth at Fort Smelling.
These troops will be In movement
ago Division Commander Major Cen
eral Carter was instructed to have
them placed in a position for immedi-
ate foreign service. All railroad facili-
ties have been arranged for and
wagons provided. and the soldiers are
ready to entrain one hour after they
have received the order.
The summary execution Of Madero,
regarded as the constitutional presi-
dent OF Mexico, and constitutional ad-
vices without due process Of Law
might possibly be interpreted as q
demonstration Of the basence Of pro.
per government in Mexico and the
existance Of a practical state of an
archy. according to some administra-
tion officials. However, 1t is positively
stated today that there n no present
intention Of utilizing more forces of
the United States army to back the
attitude Of President Taft's admins
traton, but to be left to Wilson and
the administration to determine what
shall be done. The outgoing admin
istration regards 1t a duty to assemble
a sufficient military and naval force

barkation,
