ISSUE WITH PERSHING

American General Gives Him Chance to Carry Out Threat, But Mexican Chief Declines.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 21.— General Pershing has given the Mexican troops the opportunity to make good their threat to attack him if he moved east or west, but the Mexicans declined the issue.

The American commander sent a email force eastward to Guzman, about thirty-five miles from his line of communication, yesterday to investigate a report that concentration of Mexican troops had been made there. He reported the incident to Gen. Funston toil day adding that the detachment had returned without finding any Mexican troops in that vicinity.

Remembering Gen. Trevino's threat k. to attack the Americans if they moved in any but a northerly direction offieers here regarded his failure to do so an indication of reluctance on his part to carry out his threat.

Reports to department headquarters told today of the arrival of more troops at Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, and at Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass. ^Beyond Ojinaga increased activity ij was noticed but officers here believed that Col. Gaston, commanding the .U American side, has men enough to a meet the situation. The heaviest addia tion to the Mexican border army was i that at Piedras. Negras, where Gen.

Hurgia arrived with 2,000 men. General Funston announced that to th« army equipment here had been added a large number of searchlights.

office to strip the armory of every piece of company equipment. This was interpreted by the company officers to mean that the company is in for a long siege

the border.

Everything at the armory will be taken in compliance with the order. Captain Monninger announced that the company would obtain their supplies at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. The supplies vvili.be furnished by the quartermaster corps of the state organization, through whose hands all supplies are purchased.

Many local dealers, and merchants he.ve made application at the armory to furnish supplies for the company.

Seventy-Four Answer Roll. The morning roll call of the company Wednesday showed the roster to ni.mber 74 men and officers. The numbei of privates has been increased to 56.

Not only has the atmosphere of the armory changed, but the jesting and jcking has departed and in its stead has appeared a determined and serious business like aspect. The prospects of a pleasure jaunt have disappeared.

Officers and men are jubilant over the prospects of seeing real service and are displaying it, not with'cheers and shouting, but in hard, continuous drill. How long Co. will be held at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, where the state organization will be mobilized, is but conjecture, but the opinion was expressed among the local militia officers, Wednesday, that a regiment of the best companies in the state would probably be formed at once and sent to the border.

As Co. is accorded undisputed possession of the title of the best company in the state, it is considered certain that it will be among the first to leave the fort.

In a session of the summary military court of the company' Wednesday morning, Private Eli Zigler, who was arrested Tuesday for violation of two articles of war, was re-instated to the ranks of the company by summary court officer, First Lieutenant Talbott, on recommendation of Captain Monninger.

Orders for transportation to Ft. Benjamin Harrison were sent through the mails from the adjutant general's office, Wednesday morning, Captain Monninger announced. The company will probably be sent over the Vandalia railroad in a special train.

The status of the Terre,Haute Machine Gun company, under process qf organization, is still unknown officially, although it was stated Wednesday that the oompany would not be' called, for the present at least.

Instructions from Adjutant General Bridges are said to have been received ordering the organization of the company to be proceeded with. Though the scompany has drilled for several weeks, the legal muster papers have not yet been signed by the members. The company will meet Wednesday night in the McKinley club rooms and will probably complete the work of mustering ir^

The company is now without a-rank-ing officer and, ii is said, Adjutant Gene: al Bridges has -announced an officer capable of handling the company will be appointed, on the completion of the organization.

Major B. E. Wimer, commander of the Second separate battalion, comiicisirg five companies, is still awaiting orders from Indianapolis to assume command of his troops.

Work of recruiting, which was suspended during the morning at the armory of Company B, Wednesday, will be resumed Wednesday afternoon, Captain Monninger announced. About fifteen applicants presented themselves Wednesday. Cap ger said the company

Word has been received by Major Wimer that the officers under him are ready to answer the call and the final details for mobilizing the forces are being attended ^o. Major Wimer is now seeking suitable mounts for his officers and Is also seeking options on mules for the commissary department.

Aa a mark of honor to the Terre Haute soldiers the members of the Terre Haute regiment have arranged to march as an escort to Company when the unit leaves the armory to entrain for Indianapolis to be mustered into the service of the government.

MARCHING ORDERS DELAYED.

Officials Wait Further Mobilization By State Guardsmen. WASHINGTON, June 21.—Marching orders for national guard organizations summoned to the Mexican border by President Wilson's call are still held up at. the war department pending comp.etlon of the mobilization of the troops at state camps.

J1 st as soon as sufficient number cf guardsmen have been mustered into tiie federal service, the war department will set on Gen. F*unston's report :»f yesterday stating the number of units he d&s.'red and to what points he vvislifc them forwarded.

Only preliminary reports on the progress of tho mobilization in various states had reached the war department tcdaj. These were viewed as satisfactory.

Secretary Baker said the suggestion that the senior class 1at West Point military academy be graduated immediately for active service was under consideration but that no decision had been reached.

The cadets have completed three years of their work and could be commissioned as second lieutenants immemediately if the emergency warrants such steps.

The department had no additional advices from Gen. Funston regarding the movements of Carranza troops near the border or in the vicinity of Gen. Pershing's column in Mexico.

PARIS, June 21.—Mexico Is placing its case before the European public in the form of statements issued by Mexican legations on the continent. Such a statement appeared in Madrid on Monday and a similar statement is printed in the French press today from the Mexican legation in Paris. It says the reports that war is inevitable, and that Gen. Carranza's attitude is due to German intrigue, came from American sources.

Imputations against Gen. Carranza, it declares, are unwarranted. Mexico has not wished, and does not wish war with the United States.

The statement reviews the negotiations for permission for American troops to cross the frontier to pursue bandits and declares that the interchanges were interrupted by the sending of an expeditionary corps, constituting a violation of Mexican sovereignity. "We are authorized to state that it is not Mexico which attacks," the statement continues. "In ordering Gen. Trevino to prevent American forces from advancing south, east or west the attitude of the Mexican government is purely defensive. This is established from documents in this legation which will be published at an opportune time."
