On American Side Pos-
sibility o! Demonstra-
tion on Border Grows
..... j-:...".
Telegram by United Press.
Washington Ptb ".Tho possibili-
ty on an armed demonstration along
the Mexican border was strengthened
today when the war department re-
ceived a dispatch from Colonel Steev-
er at EI Paso that he captured thir-
teen armed Mexicans on the Ameri-
can side of the border. Xo decision
in regard to their disposition has yet
been made.
Situation is WMched.
Washington eh. 7. President
Taft and his cabinet have turned a
scrutinizing eye toward Mexico. Of-
ficial dispatches placed before the
president seriously questioned tho loy-
ally of General Paseual Orozco to
the Mexican federal government and
intimated that the present conditions
in the statu of Chihuahua bordering
on l ex as miglit develop into a move-
men! of secession establishing au In-
dependent republic in tho north.
The president discussed 'precaution-
ary measures with his official family
uuil the war department has sent ad-
ditional orders lo army posts through-
out the country lo be rcdy for a
possible mobilization the department
of justice bus instructed its agents to
exercise all possible vigilance iu en-
forcing the neutrality laws while tho
elate department has asked for quick
reports from consular ngeuls of any
existing during the last rebellion.
It is believed there would not be
much fighting; on the bord'T. With
Juarez in the hands of the Orosco ad-
herents the new revolutionists would
concentrate at the city of Chihuahua
2H0 miles south of the border where
j the advance of an army from Mexico
City first would be contested.
American special agents are report-
ed to be watching the activity of Era-
ilio Vasquez Gomez now in San Au-
tonio Tex. and said to be the real
i leader of the new rebellion. It was
rumored here that Gomez in exile
might have made common cause with
Orozco at the moment when the
hopes of the latter to become gover-
I uor of Chihuahua were blighted by
I the federal government.
