Juarez today, and there their arms and
equipment viii be turned over to them
and they will be set free. An officer
will be detailed TO meet them and take
them to Fort Bliss, near FL PasO.
The announcement Of this yielding
on the part of the de factO government
has lessened the tension that had been
growing steadily tighter for several
days, and threatened to snap today. 1t
is believed now in official circles here
that danger of an immediate break
between the two countries has been
averted, for time at least, but it was
admitted last night that peace still
depends upon the message which Car
rama is to send in answer to the Amer.
lean note of several days ago.
If he proves obdurate in his atti
tude toward Pershing's forces in Mexi
co, war is still not only a possibility
but a probability. The government
will not tolerate his assumption Of con

that the Carranza faction in Mexico

intimated that President Wilson, hav-
ing made up his mind to go forward,
will not turn back.
Officials confessed that the plans for
today are unsettled. 50 much depends
upon the developments in Mexico, and
the answer Carranza may make. II is
still possible, however, that President
Wilson may call a joint session of con

decided upon late last night.
In the meantime the preparations for

All States Have Responded
All of the States which have been
called upon for their quota of men
have responded. and most of the com.
mands are ready to take the field.
Florida, however, has been compelled
to report that she is not prepared to
entrain. Most of her men are raw
recruits, and she has a shortage Of of.
trers that is handicapping her serious
ly.
Maryland, California, Oregon, Massa-
ehusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New
York, New Jersey and other States are
ready, and it is believed that before
Saturday General Funston will have
between twenty and thirty thousand
additional men on the border, able to
take over the work of patroling and
admitting of the concentration Of the
regulars for defense or attack, as the
needs of the situation require.
In his official dispatches last night,
General Funston announced that he
was sepding the Maryland militia TO
Eagle Pass, Texas, and he wanted the
Florida regiments at Del Rio, Texas,
but owing to the inability of the State
to start its troops some other arrange
msnt will have to be made. The con
tingents from Maine and New Hamp-
shire are ordered to Laredo.

The Second and Fifth Infantry regi.

with battalion of Artillery and con-.
mand of Cavalry have been ordered

Twenty first Infantry is stationed there

militia will be ordered there as web
as the California contingent, should il
prove that more men are needed.

for time when the United States Nat

matter Of the release of the prisoners
at CHIHUAHUA, has been revived with
the news that those men are to be
released this morning Senior Caldaron,
