Numerous plots have been made by

The President has accepted the good Of

They will spare no effort TO secure terms
which the United States can honorably

These negotiations will take time,
and in the mean while let US keep our
heads cool.

who could do so to set about preparing
himself for military service To be
thoroughly effective this ought to be
done long beforehand and therefore I
have been deeply interested in the plan

Held Near Ell PasO Taken
to Fort Wingate.

Washington. April 27.-Orders were Is
sued by the War Department to-day
transferring the Mexican prisoners held
at Fort Bliss, near El Paso, Tex. to Fort
Wingate New Mexico. The War Depart
ment believed it necessary TO move the
prisoners further from the Mexican Dor
der. in view OF possible developments. The
third squadron Of the 18th Cavalry. now
at Fort Meade South Dakota, will be sent
TO Fort Wingate to guard them.
The War Department feared that so
large a colony Of Mexicans near the Dor
der might excite the Mexicans across the
river and perhaps lead 10 an effort TO lib
crate the prisoners.
The prisoners will be entrained at FL
Paso under a heavy guard from the 10Th
Infantry which will accompany them TO

cavalry ordered there.
