T0 HOLD MEXICANS AT FORT BLISS| Cabled_Paragraphs War Department Decides lts Course of Action in Case of the Fugitives at Presidio A MARCH OF 67 MILES TO NEAREST RAILROAD United States Cavalrymen Select Camping Sites Along the Route—Journey Will Consume About Four Days— United States to Support the 3000 Soldiers and 1500 Ref- ugees For a Time But Will Later Seek Reimbursement From Mexican Government—1,000 Horses to be Fed. Washington, Jan, 12.—All the Mex- ican federal soldiers now in the cue- tody of the United States border pa- trol forces at Presidio, Texas, will be transferred to Fort Bliss and interned indefinitely. Secretary Garrison or- dered the transfer late today, with permission for the refugee women and children to accompany the soldiers if they desire, There are about 3,000 of the Mex- ican officers and mén who fled across the Rio Grande when the victorious constitutionalists entered Ojinaga and with them, besides many women and children, are-1,500 civillan refugees. The latter are not prisoners and will be allowed to do as they please by the military authorities, though those de- siring to remain in -American. -terri- tory will have to satisfy the immi- gration officers. 67 Mile March for Prisoners, With Presidio 67 miles away from the nearest railroad, it will be quite an undertaking to get the army of prisoners to its haven. Brigadler Gen- eral Bliss, commanding .. the. . border forees, will march his uninvited vis- jtors northward to Marfa and there put them aboard trains for Fort Biliss, near El Paso. The thousand or more horses brought over by the Mexicans probably will be used on the journey of about four days, as there will have to be wagon trains for the sick and ounded, the women and children and the baggage, Secretary Garrison determined to hold the refugees after an hour’s con- sultation with Councellor Moore of the state department, Major General Leon- ard Wood, chief of staff, and Brigadier General Crowder, judge advocate -gen- eral of the army. His action is in con- tinuation of the policy adopted months 120 by the war department in dispos- ing of the federals who crossed into irizona from Nogales, Sonora, and into Brownsville, Texas, from Matamoras, Tamanlipas. sty Some of the constitutionalist sol- diers who were driven across the line at other points, though ed by 1he American troops, were subsequent- 1y allowed to “filter back” into Mex- fco when the coast was clear. For the present, however; there will be no more “filtering back,” Secretary Gar- rison announced, either of federals or of constitutionalists, The secretary decided that the wo- men and children who accompanied the soldiers into Texas shouid be al- Jowed to remain with them in the de- tention camp If they care to do'so and that in any case their immediate wants in the matter of food and shel- hould be prwided for by the ter army. 3 It was expressly stated that this policy is intended to meet an emer- gency and might be changed at any | At present the | time in the future. United States will pay for the keep of these Mexican soldiers and their ad- herents, but later on the Mexican gov- ernment will be called upon for re- imbursement. Report of General Bliss, Today's order followed this tele- graphic report from General Bliss, dated at Fort Sam Houston: “Full details situation at Presidio, Texas, cannot yet be given. Small parties federals still being. brought in from distant points where they crossed border.
