FL Paso. Tex, June l1.-Temporizing
with the Mexican chiefs has ended and
the next move in the Mexican situation
will be by the United States Army, II
persistent reports and unmistaksble in
dications on the border tonight are not
wholly wrong and misleading.
Border troops are being held ready
for possible work in Mexico. This has
been the case for four years, but it is
more so now than at any time since the
landing Of United States troops at
Vera Cruz.
Border troops who had been ordered
10 the Philippines, expecting to sail on
July 8. will not go. Orders have been
received by the 18th Cavalry, at Fort
Bliss. and the 9th Cavalry, at Douglas,
Aril.. 10 remain at their present posts
A mobilization Of United States troops
appears TO be in progress, the 18th
Cavalry, which has been on border DUTY
in New Mexico, having been added 70
the troops ALREADY nete. Az Fort
Bliss and along the border in the bi8
Bend country now are three infantry
regiments and two Of cavalry, but there
Is no artillery.
Reports to-day from unofficial but
apparently trustworthy sources say
that the national guards OF Arizona
New Mexico. California and Texas are
under orders to be ready for border
duty on instant notice.
- a
any progress toward getting together
on a peace plan and opposition by Mex
lean officials to the sending OF Red
Cross supplies TO starving Mexicans are
responsible for the renewed activity IN
military circles and the new threat OF
intervention.
Several weeks. however, probably
will be allowed to pass before the
United States takes any further step
in its new policy of restoring peace 10
the ine-threatened country.
In the meantime replies from villa
and Carranza will be awaited. The
government will watch with interest
the efforts of the belligerent factions
70 hurry a settlement of their differ
ences on the battlefield and the Amer
lean Red Cross will go ahead with
the work of relieving starving non
combatants. 1t is regarded as prob
able that the next action by the United
States will not be taken until per
manent successor TO Mr.. Bryan as Sec
retary of State has been named
All along the border on the Mexican
side brigands operate without molesta-
ton and make frequent raids across,
killing Americans and footing ranches
of horses and cattle.
Mexicans believed TO be Maytorena-
Villa troops are holding Ceci! Boyd
the eighteen-year-ol son Of j. j. BOYD,
a rich ranchman, for $4,000 ransom.
and threaten to kill him if the money
is not paid by tomorrow night.
Gordon Boyd, q brother, arrived at
the border near Hachita, y. NJ, to-day
to get the money. Young Boyd is held
sixty miles below Hachita. His father
and brother escaped They had gone
to the ranch to get out their cattle.
Galveston. Tex, June 11.-Reports OF
serious differences between General

and say the two commanders accuse
each other of cowardice at the battle
of Leon. The reports say that each
general accuses the other ST having or
dered the retreat, and add that tho
quarrel may lead to open hostility be-
tuaen the two forces.
