ion that prev -. ID at the meeting was
that the chances are overwhelnl.
lngiy against peace, although it was
declared there is slight hope that
actual war may be avoided.
Preparing For War
With this feeling amongst the heads
of the departments, it was natural that
the departments should be working over
for emergencies. The war department.
of course, was by far the busiest,
and the division of militia affairs was
doing what it could to assist the States
to get the militiamen, who were called
for 80 urgently by General Funston,
yesterday, prepared to take over the
work of patroling the border and leav-
ing the regulars free for the possibility
of actual fighting south of the line.
Dispatches from San Antonio head
quarters, announced last night that
General Funston is confidently expect
ing to have seventy Thousand men, mill
tia and regulars, on the frontier by the
end Of this week, or the middle of next
week. at the latest. He is said to he

Embargo On Explosives
Orders were issued yesterday to in

bHrgo on the shipment of arms, mum
tions and especially high explosives
across the border for the use of the
Mexicans. This order also applies to
the shipment of explosives for the use

Grating in Mexico.
Large quantities of dynamite and
other explosives have been going into
Mexico, ostensibly for mining purposes,
of late, and these shipments the gov
eminent has now stopped absolutely.
Additional precautions are also be-
ing taken against the smuggling into
Mexico of minor quantities of supplies
and all persons who cross the border
line are subjected to search by the Dor
der guards.

beginning to figure upon the effect of

Interesting comparisons between the
American army strength and that of

which the war department has tele
graphed, asking what troops are avail

word that the entire national guard

the physical examinations could be

the war department announced last
night that it probably will be several
days before the militia called out by
the President will be ready to start
southwark for duty.
1t was also announced, in this connec-
ton, that the first assignments for
border duty will be made from the
militia regiments first reporting ready

last night.
