tonight that the order for the return
of the 10000 national guardsmen for
muster out of the federal service was
not to be construed as foreshadowing
a movement out Of Mexico by General

planned that a force Of $4,000 guards
men Would he majntained on the bor-
der until Porshing was withdrawn and
that today's order merely was in pur-
suance of the previously announced
policy to reduce the militia in the

the expedition in Mexico is with
drawn the entire guard force will be
Returned to home points for muster
