III Paso. Tex, March l6.-American
troops were on Mexican soil last night

the vanguard OF an expedition gath

forces assembled by this country since
the war between the states.
The troops that entered yesterday

The one important fact that the

Our Arkansas soldiers were again
disappointed to-day by an order post
poning our departure indefinitely.
We had been ordered to Deming, New
Mexico and the railroads as well as
the troops were ready for the move
ment when the first order was canceIl-
ed. Lack Of water supply and equip
ment to obtain its supply were given
as the reasons.
Water at Deming is obtained by
drilling. Sometimes it is necessary to
drill as deep as 100 feet before water
is struck. The supply then obtained
is said to be 80 and a fraction Of a per
cent pure.

were sweethearts before the cali to

The date for the wedding although
anticipated, never had been fixed.
