The largest 'body of American troops on Hie bonier is near I'M Paso, it is probablo that Hid Mexican federals would encamp near Juarez. A form of martial law was inau gurated today when tho government decided to discontinue constitutional gunraulccH throughout the lopublie. This permits summary military action to displace civil trials where persons aro accused of having destroyed Hie properly of railroads or piiblio soi vico corporations.

MOUNTIN 5S SAN ANTONIO, Tcxns, March J1 Two companies of engineers with pontoon equipment, sufficient to throw the entire first division aiross tho Hio Grande, arrived here today from Leavenworth. The significance of the presence of" tho engineers is shown in admission of officers Hint the uiiwieldiues of such equipment precludes Us use lor ordinary armv maneuvers, Tlio equipment arrived on U0 flat cars, one gondola, oiuf standard Pull man, nine slooic, ten tourist, one- baggage and niiio box cars.

Ho virtually admits an oc cupation Is probable, although ho quite dlHclnlmn nay knowledge of tho govorumont'H plans. What really Is bohliul tho mobili zation General WIss does not know, hut he Is llrmly ot tho opinion thnt tlio Insurrection In Mexico can bo only a part of tlio causo for rushing tho troops to tho border. V'All tho Insurrection thorn Is around Tin Juann," said Ooneral Mexican Leader Uses Strategy and Sends Large Force of Men Around on United States Side to Attack From the West. SAN DIRGO, Cal., March 11. Mexican insurrectionists aro now up on both sides of tho Pleachos Pass, which separates tho open rondway between Mexicnll nnd Knsenada. The pass 1b practically imprcgnnblo and tho small federal foico now in it could stavo off an army unless they woro taken by surprlso. It has al ways bconaii effectual barrier to the march of tho insurgents on Ensen ada. Ooneral Rives' strategy is shown In tho present maneuvers. Whilo every one, has been watching Mexican, he ling slipped a largo forco of men on tho United States sldo around tho pass, and noww apparently hopes to tako it by surprlso from tho west, opening the way for IiIb main army to march upon Hnscnada.

The fall of the I'lchachos Pass stronghold, It It does fall, may not bo known until several days nftor it occurs, owing to lack of communication, and tho first march upon KiiBonndn will bo roported from camp number one, about 12 miles oast of Tla Juann.

Aside from tin: Hockiuj, which openly declared that pan-American aggrandizement was tlio actuating spirit in' Hie move, tjio newspapers here have avoided com ment on tho subject. It is evident, however, that the move is being closely watched by the Japanese government, and linn aroused deep interest. For somo time past the newspapers have commented at some length on tho probablo ef fect the completion of the Panama, canal would'havo on tho lelntions be tween Japan and tlio United States. Tlio movement of American soldiors, now, therefore has aroused consider ably moro interost thnn it might otherwise hnvo done.

"To my mind," ho said, "tho as sociation of my government with Ja pan is absurd. Official denials have bconlssued by representatives of both governments that Mexico has given any privileges to Japan that should causo apprehension on tho part of other, governments. To say that Ja-p.-yi is financing tho insurrection in Mexico is to laugh. "As set forth yesterday In my statement, my government does not for a moment consider intervention. I think tho United States has no In tention of Intervening. Naturally, my government desires that tho iusur rectos be prevented fiom smuggling arms and ammunltldn across tjio bor der. That Is what tho American troops proposo to do. I hnvo always boon a boliover In tho keen sense of justice of tho Amerlcnn people.
