REQUEST FOR COAST
ARTILLERY REFUSED

San Antonio, Tex, May 24.---Gen-
eral Funston's request for more coast
artillery, it is understood here, has
been refused by the war department.
The additional units of the regular
army and the national guard of three
border states has enabled him to
strengthen materially the patrols
along the border. but even with that
added force there remain many weak
points, it is said. and it was to pro-
tect them that he asked for more
companies of coast artillery. Cen
eral Funston refused to confirm the
report. but 1t was indicated at his
headquarters that he had replied to
the departments refusal by a request
that more guard troops be sent to
him.
The guard troops now in camp here
will start moving toward the border
tomorrow. The first regiment to go
will be the Second Texas, with head
quarters at Brownsville. This will be
followed by a regiment moving Satur-
day to Eagle Pass and two days later
another regiment will enter the
Brownsville district.
Reports from General Pershing to-
day indicated no sharp developments,
but reports from him and from other
sources reflected the activity Of Mex
lean troops In strong numbers the
Mexican forces were reported moving
to stations nearer the front, but there
was nothing to indicate that the mo-
tive was other than to establish over
northern Mexico an effective police
force General Funston and his staff
have kept themselves closely in-
formed. however, of the Mexican
movements.
