Prospect of Battle Across
Border Makes Need Im
perative, He Says.
As a result of an appeal from Gov
ernor Colquitt of Texns, the War De
partment has Increased Its vigilance
along tbe Mexican boarder In the sec
tion about El Paso, where a battle is
Impending between the federals and the
Insurrecto garrison which holds Juarez.
The Second Cavalry, on Its way to
this country from the Philippines will
be rushed to Kl Paso Just as soon as
possible, and horses are now being sent
there for the use of the troops.
Unless the federals change their
plans and attack Juarez from the west,
there Is grave fears that Mexican shots
will again bombard American property
Just across the Rio Grande. It Is pos
sible officials of the War Department
may drder several additional regiments
to the frontier In the next few days
should the danger become more menacing.
The consul at Acapuleo has Informed
the State Department today that no re
cent change has occurred in the dis
position of troops, that conditions In
the neighborhood of Acapuleo continue
quiet and that General Flgueroa has
about 1,000 men scattered through the
small towns. General Vlearl commands
a total of 1.400.
