san Antonio. Texas. May 25.--Gen-
eral Funston today made q sudden
switch of plans and will send the
fourth Texas infantry into the Big
Bend region instead of the Eagle Pass
district. 1t is evident that the APP
preach of Mexican bandit forces to
points near the river In threatening
numbers was the cause of this change.

Will garrison Terlingua. Preside, La

General Funston received instruc-
lions from Washington today TO APP
point members OF a court martial to
TRIP the 116 Texas National Guardsmen
who failed to present themselves for
muster into the Federal service.
similar court martials will try New
Mexico and Arizona guardsmen who
refused TO 20 into the Federal ser
vice. The penalty Is discretioary with
the court. 1t is understood the War
Department is doing this not so much "A
desire to punish guardsmen for evad
Ing Federal service as wish to get

MIsTdAlUs FIRE N
GR00nIN NAVY YARD
New York Fire Department Called
Out to Help subdue Flames In What
Is known No the Boat Building.

New York. May 25.--Papers OF the
utmost Importance to the Navy De-
partment, maps of inestimable value,
and diagrams of proposed improve
ments on battleships. were threatened
with destruction in a mysterious fire
In the Brooklyn Navy Yard tonight.
Every effort was made to keep the
details of the fire secret. 1t was of
such seriousness. however. that for
the first time In MANY years the city
fire department was called upon to
aid in extinguishing blaze within
the enclosure. The navy yard appa-
ratus was entirely inadequate to sub
due the flames.
Shortly after o'clock a sentry saw
flames issuing from the three-story
structure known as the boat building.
This ad1oins the Office and residence
of the commandant, Rear-Admiral
Nathaniel r.. upshur
The building houses the only copies
OF maps showing the defense OF New
York city and other details not even
on file at Washington. 1t also con-
tains papers SHOWING the disposition
Of the Atlantic and Pacif fleets and
awnings of inventions now being
dreadnaughts.
An alarm was sounded by the sem
try. 1T was feared the flames would
communicate to Admiral Usher's office
and the city fire department was called
for aid. Engine companies, ladder
wagons and apparatus Of all kinds
were hurriedly dispatched to the navy
yard. There the firemen found a
squad of marines.
One piece of apparatus was admit
ted to the navy yard at time. Every
fireman was counted. The same pro-
cedure was followed as they left. The
chief In charge OF each battalion was
requested by the navy yard officials 10
vouch for the identity Of every man
In his command. None was allowed 70
enter or leave the yard during the
progress of the FIRE,
There were rumors that the fire was
of incendiary origin. Rear Admiral
Usher and other officers OF the navy
yard were non communicative. Every
detail was closely guarded
/ The damage 10 not known. Navy
yard officials requested Chief Lally to
notify his men not to discuss the fire.
