More Troops Sent to Mexican Border

In response to a request by Brig-adier-General Tasker H. Bites for additional troops to protect tliie international border line between uhe U. S. and Mexico at Naco, Ariz, the secretary of war has sent three additional regiments of infantry and some batteries of field artillery there and the Mexicans who 'continue to slhoot across the line may be compelled to cease doing so by more drastic measures than heretofore taken. The U. S. has taken the advice of Colonel Goethals and sent two warships to the Panlama canal to protect it, also, and will probably determine on some plan for better defense.
