The outposts have been equipped with twelve machine guns and sev- eral 3-inch field pieces which were taken to the front to-day by teams of six horses to each gun. The ani- mals were frithtened by the unac- customed work and the marines had a hard struggle, but many of them displayed excellent horsemanship. FLETCHER’S HEADQUARTERS GUARDED BY MACHINE GUNS. Rear-Admiral Fletcher's headquar- ters at the Terminal Hotel are guard- ed by machine guns, while in the vicinity are seven field pieces held in reserve. ‘The Commissary, Ordnance and Quartermaster’s Departments worked very efciently, so that along the docks there were no piles of supplies, ‘s 1e usually the case when an armed force is landed.

The report of Consular Agent Car- others in which he stated flatly Villa bad assured him under no circum- stances would he bear arms against the United States was presented in detail by Secretary Bryan, It i# understood that the Cabinet was # unit in agreeing that 'n public ‘at least thene assurances should be ac- cepted without question. Meanwhile, however, the Administration nas as- sured Senator Sheppard that an ade- quate force will be sent to Texas, where it will be ready for anything that may arise. Washington was without any con- firmation of the report that the revo- | lutlonists and Federals at Torreon ‘have agreed to a truce pending de- velopments at Washington and Mex- ico City.

French Consuls will take charge of United States business and papers, is not represented. The Braztiian government will take charge for this government in Mexico City and Vera Cruz, and the Chillan Consul at Acapulco. The British government will take charge at Frontera, Lapaz, Ensenada, and Manznillo, where there are se hopes to know the truth shortly, os it has a representative in the city of Torreon, Consular Agent Hamm. If the report proves true it will con- firm the belief of the army and navy war council that even though Vite and Carranza try to do so, they can- not prevent the rank und file of their armies making common cause on the United States. TWO MOVES PLANNED HUERTA DECLARES WAR. The United States war measures are carefully guarded, but it was learned upon hixh authority that when word is finally given to crush Huerta and take Mexico City two expeditions will be organized. One wall go inland from Vera Crus. Tho second will go south, and if present plans are followed it will go south from Fl Paso across the internat: :al bridge. It certainly will procend from there if the Constitutionalists assume an unfriendly attitude, Both expeditions will meet serious obstructions, As the order of the general staff described it: “The Vera Crus army will have to Moet serious natural obstacles, while the El Paso expedition will encounter serious human obstacles.” There are many places along the ‘ty where a regiment fully stand off an entire F The march southward will be through @ desert that will ald the natives materially in fighting unac- climatized troops. The bill reorganizing the militia and putting it under the Secretary of War without the necessity of vol- unteering was finally adopted by the Senate this afternoon. Later it wax passed by the House and now goes to the President. The bill was designed to cure de- fects In existing law relating to vol- untecr forces, and It J relied upon to put these forces upon a war time foot- ing almost almilar to the resular army Except for the fact that the volumteer army would be disbanded immediately by Presidential action at the close of houtilities which led to Its organization, there would be little tween it and the regular standing army. HOW VOLUNTEER ARMY WILL BE RAISED. ‘The volunteer army, under the terms of the bill, is to be raised when wa: exists or “while war is {mminent,” but only after Congress has given the Preaident authority. The President would call for yolunteers by proclama- tion and make the necessary regula- fiona for receiving them into service. Enlistments would be apportioned among the States according to pop- vlation, The President instead of the Gov- ernors of the States appoints the offi- cers, and he has absolute authority to organize brigades and divisions with- out regard to State Ines, a provision expected to lead to a rapid absorption of the volunteers into the regulur forces, ‘The enlistment period ts four years, ag in the regular army, Officers are to ov appointed not for particular organizations, but subject to proper assigument by the War De- difference be- |, co CQQUN DERWwOOG Five More in Death List, Many Hurt at Vera Cruz WASHINGTON, April 24.—A par- tial list of addresses and next of kin of those killed and injured yesterday ‘se here given: DEAD.
