Secretary Garrison issued this statement:
 ''To allay ss far as possible the fears of the people on the border, the presi- dent took up with me the question of sending some additional troops there. As a result have ordered that the 17th infantry and the Ninth infantry be sent there The 17th infantry is now at Fort Logan 1T. Root, Ark, and Fort Thomas, Ky.

Rumors that lives had been lost in the blaze were disproved late tonight when a search of the ruins had become possible.
 The fire caused 8 property loss of about S2O0.900. Four alarms were turned in. and for some time the water pressure was so low that the streams did not go above the second floors of the buildings Several pieces of fire apparatus were prevented from reach ing the scene promptly because of the bad condition of the streets, due to the recent heavy falls of snow. Some of the firemen were obliged to abandon their apparatus and reach the scene on street cars. The fight on the fire T1f further hampered by the quantities cf furniture which the excited tenants of the buildings had thrown into the

 Daz Contingent to State Their Case at Washington To- day-Say That They Are Not Allied With the Rebels But Are Seeking the Elimination of Huerta From Power.

Washington. March 11.-Despatch of two additional regiments of American infantry to Eagle Pass and Laredo, Tex. in order to allay fears of raids by Mexicans, and the appearance here of General Felix Diaz and friends with a new plan to solve the Mexican prob lem, were the chief developments to- day in the Mexican situation.
 American Cattle Disappearing.
 The troops, the Ninth and Seven teenth regiments. were ordered to the border at the request of Senator Shep- pard and Representative Garner. The latter told the president there was large amount of money in the border banks and that Americans wanted to be protected against any sudden raid or invasion which might result from sensational developments at any time in the Mexican situation. MT.

 General Diaz and his friends here said they were not yet prepared to announce their purposes. but would do so in a statement tomorrow.

The Mexicans denied today that they were seeking support or sanction for any revolutionary move U1ent, saying their Gdea, chiefly was 8 campaign of information about Mexi- co and to acquaint Washington with the personality of General Diaz so that his part in subsequent events in Mex ico might be judged from a. study at close range Just what their plans are for the restoration of peace, whether by armed revolution or peace propos- als. was not divulged, but it was learned that they are seeking the elimination of General Huerts and are not allied in any way with the const1- tutionaists.

Shutting Off of Food Supply by Au- thorities Has Desired Effect-RaiI- roads Decline to Transport Them.

Sacramento, Cal, March 11-"Gen- er-ap' Kelley's army, temporarily de- tained on it's march toward Washing ton, D. C., went to bed supperless to- night in the shacks that form its camp in Yolo county. just across the Sacra- mento river. Sacramento county not only officially shut off the food supply which had been contributed by the county, but issued an order forbidding any persons conveying supplies across tile bridge beyond which the Industrial Workers are caInped.
 Food Sent to the Camp.
 The move was ordered by the city and county authorities yesterday, in the belief that it would quickly result in the disintegration Of the army. But some one disobeyed and twice a day sent meat, bread and coffee in large quantities to the camp.
 It was explained today, when the source of the arrny's supply was dis covered. that the order for a single meal, given by a citizens committee, had been misunderstood to mean supply until further notice"
 Army Reduced to 600 Men.
 The result of the drastic action in shutting off food became apparent at once. Men began leaving the camp singly and in groups. By nightfall the army, which had numbered 1,500 on Monday and dwindled to 1000 or 1,200 yesterday, had been further reduced to about 500 men, whose leaders were finding it difficult to hold them in hand.
 This hegira is proving disastrous to the rural districts of Yolo county, which are now overrun by hundreds of hungry men who appear at orchard homes and enforce with threats their demands for food. Perhaps half the male population of the county was on duty tonight as special guards for the protection of homes and property.
 Railroads Won't Carry Them.
 While the shutting off of food is in measure solving the problem that has confronted California communities for the last four months the situation with regard to the several hundred ir- reconcilables bent on marching on the national capital, regardless of all ob- stacles, is desperately involved. Sacra- mento will not permit them to pass through this city. A half dozen sur rounding counties have served official notice that they will meet with armed force any attempt to send them across their lines. Plans to ship the men in small groups in various directions, thus scattering them beyond hope of reor- ganization, fell flat today when the railroad companies refused to carry them. There is a. state law forbidding the transportation of undesirable citi- zens from one county to another
 Men Who Won't Work.
 Governor Hiram Johnson declared today that the problem was not one of men involuntarily out of employment but of men who preferred vagrancy and would not work.

RIGHT TO ROAD
Veteran Of Civil War and Invalid
Wife In Buggy Are Run Into by
Auto on Hoquiam Road.

While George Woodruff, 9O6 Wish.
kah street, a veteran of the civil war,
and his invalid wife were driving TO
Hoquiam last Tuesday afternoon in
their buggy, they were ran into be-
tween the National mill and the
bridge. by an auto driven by w. S.
Moore, of Hoquiam, and a wheel was
torn from the buggy and the axle
wrenched out of true.
Mr.. Woodruff says he heard the au
to footing behind him, and he turned
out of the road as soon as he had
passed a load of wood lying in the
narrow road, but the auto switched
around him with the above result. He
asked Moore to settle for the damage,
and was told that he, Moore, would
pay half, as he considered Woodruff
as much to blame as he.
Woodruff consulted the city attor-
ney of Hoquiam, and says he was in
formed that the law required the
slower vehicle to give the road to the
faster, and suggested no remedy. He
has placed the matter in the hands of
an Aberdeen attorney, and announces
his determination to learn just what
road rights he has when he goes
buggy riding.
