MANY TROOPS
IN THE SOUTH
TWENTY THOUSAND SOLDIERS
STATIONED ON TEXAS-MEX
ICO BORDER.
UNCLE SAM AWAKE
WILL PROTECT AMERICAN INTER
ESTS AND PREVENT FILI
BUSTERING.
■Washington.—That the administra
tion has decided to dissemble no long
er its reasons for the sudden and un
precedented movement of troops 'to
the Mexican border is indicated by
the following dispatch received from
the staff correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press, w'ho is accompanying
President Taft on his Journey to
Atlanta:
“All doubt as to the purpose of the
government in sending 20,000 troops
to the Mexican border has at last
been swept away.
“The United States had determined
that the revoution in the repub
lic to the south must end. The Ameri
can troops have been sent to form a
solid military wall along the Rio
Grande to stop filibustering, and to
see that there is no further smuggling
of arms and men across the interna
tional boundary.
“It is believed that with this source
of contraband supplies cut off, the in
surrectionary movement, which has
disturbed conditions generally for
nearly a year without accomplishing
anything like the formation of a re
sponsible independent government,
will speedily come to a close.”
First of all, the government feared
the formation of an insurrecto govern
ment in lower California. With the
formation of such a government the
United States would be compelled to
keep continual watch on the whole
Southern frontier.
Secondly, it was feared that Ameri
can property in Mexico, valued at hun
dreds of millions, might be swept
away, and it was desired to protect as
well the interests of fireigners, who,
keeping in mind the Monroe doctrine,
might look naturally to the United
States for such protection.
Third, it was determined to stop
friends of the Mexican insurrectos
from carrying supplies that are contra
band of war across the Rio Grande
river from Texas.
of all, it was believed that
“maneuvers” in Texas at this time
would show the “jingoes” in Congress
and elsewhere that the army could be
mobilized in case of difficulty in re
markably quick time.
The army is going to Texas and it
is going to stay there until there is
reason to believe that serious trouble
in Mexico is no longer probable. It will
patrol the border line with a fine-tooth
comb and if necessary it will step in
to prevent anarchy and revolution
which would endanger the lives and
property of Americans and foreigners.
The step was taken advisedly and no
retreat is contemplated.
The troops in Texas a week ago
were not adequate to handle the situ
ation; the crisis developed quickly and
in a few hour 3 a policy was outlined,
orders were issued, and a quarter of
our federal army was bound southward
or preparing to go.
Mexico City.—A secret treaty which
provides for an offensive and defensive
alliance exists between the govern
ments of Mexico and Japan. A promi
nent financier who is one of the pow
ers behind the throne in Mexico says
that the Mexlcan-.lapanese secret
treaty of alliance was negotiated
about a year ago and that he is among
the few who have read the document.
The convention further states that
upon an official request of the Mexi
can government for aid, Japan will re
spond with her army and navy.
The financier who gave out this in
formation is on the “inside” of every
thing that occurs in government cir
cles in Mexico and no important move
can be made without him being able
to secure the facts. He is in close
touch with President Diaz and the fi
nancial and banking interests of the re
public.
When asked if he thought that
President Diaz would invoke the aid of
Japan in the present emergency he re
plied that he did not think so.
Office Building Burns.
San Francisco.—Fire recently dam
aped the Rush block, a four-story
office building. The loss is SIOO,OOO
to $150,000.
No Change in Rifle Match.
Washington.—There is no change in
the leadership of the inter-scholastic
rifle shooting league as a result of
matches for the seventh week. Har
vard School of Ix)s Angeles, Cal., and
Morris High school of New York City
•till are tied for the leadership with
eight victories and no defeats
