PESSIMISTIC
Believe They Have Little
Chance of Coing to Mexico.
RESERVES HEEDED FOR COAST DEFENSE
Many Hold Opinion That War Depart-
merit Would Not Send All the
Soldiers to Hordor With
CoiLs't Unguarded.
Although Captain J. A. Buchanan
still voices the opinion that the'
fourth Company of Coast Artillery
will be called for service in Mexico
within thirty days many of the mem-1
bors of the organization are very i
pessimistic over their chances of be-j
lng called out. With the fact In
view that all the infantry troops
have been summoned and no orders
received relative to the disposition i
of the Coast Artillery corps many
believe ihe prospect for border ser
vice a remote possibility.
At the time the company here waB
transferred from Infantry to Coast
artillery It was believed that they
would be used the same as the In-'
fantry in case of a necessity as at I
the present time, instead of this,
however, It appears to be the ten-!
dency to hold the boys for defense
work Instead of rushing them to the
border along with the regiment from
the northern part of the state. The
reason which many of them hold In
sustaining their statements that the
local company will not be 'called
out was expressed by out of the mem
bers in a conversation this morning.
He said, "There Is very little show
for us. There nre at present only
enough regular coast artillerymen in
the state to man one battery and
with the number of reserves there
vould not bo enough to handle more
than half the defense guns. I do
not think it would he policy on the
Dart Of the war rlpnnrtniont In t Ire
all the troops from Oregon and leave I
nnoi ,ifi , .
tne coast defenseless in case of an
attack from a hostile nation, and
we are trained for this work and
have proven our efficiency In the
yearly shoots. I do not believe for
an Instant that the war department
will consider taking us outside the
,tato. anil in rase we do receive nr-
ders it will be to go to the coast de-1
fenses and remain there to release
the regulars."
Another fact which is against the
local company Is contained In one
of the bulletins sent by the war de
partment to the orricers of the na
tional guard. The statement reads:
"The Army of the fulled States shall
consist of Its Mobile troops nnd the
Coast Artillery". This is construed
to mean that the Infantry is to be
used for offensive purposes while the !
coast artillery troops will be used
only to defend the coast line.
With the movement on foot for a
general moholialion many of t'
members of the fourth company. are
becoming disappointed and are giv
ing way to the prnvelant pessimism.
They nre still hoDing against hope
however, and although they can sec
no chance fnr their bcin sent are
cliucing to the last straw. It is also
freely predicted that is the Coast
artillery is left at home that it will
be the end of the organization as
it Is not believe that the young men
will enlist is they are to be given
no chance to fight. Many of those
whose enlistment expires within a
short time are nnxious to see the
organization of an Infantry company
company and say that they Intend
to agitate the matter as soon as they
are at liberty to do so.

COLONEL C. C. HAMMOND,
V. G. WILLIAMS, Capt. C. A. C.
Adjutant.
Capt. Buchanan was yesterday In
communication by telephone with
Col. Hammond for several minutes.
The latter stated that tho future ac
tion depended on tho outcome of the
Mexican situation within the next few
days. Should Carranza decide to
show fght tile government would un
doubtedly need all available men and
the coast artillery would bo called
Into service. He is personally cer
tain that the Mexicans will fight,
hut has received no official word to
this orrect. In Issuing tho above or
der he is merely preparing the com
panies under his charge for sorvlce
In case of emergency and so that they
can be mobilized with the" least pos
sible delay.
The order to obtain the address of
his men has been followed by Capt.
Buchanan since he received tho first
instructions. Although the company
was badly scattered, he has found
e greater number of them nnd
receiving answers rapidly. Del
Green this morning telegraphed that
he was at Bend, but was starting for
Rosehurg on the next train, lie Is
anxious to go to tho bordor. Hurley
Watson Is still in Washington and
begging to be transferred to an ip
fantry company in that state. Others
have already reported and asked that
any further orders bo sent them at
once, stating that they they are mak
ing preparations so that they can
leave their present location at any
time.

SAN ANTONIO, June 21. The

Immediately upon receipt ot the or

Mexicans Make Uiuimm.
It has been reported on very good
authority that the Mexicans In the
city of Ojlnaga have assumed a
threatening attitude although no out
breaks have occurred. Eunston said
today that "they were funning
around In a circle making great
boasts of what they Intend to do if
hostilities break out".

but despite the proclamation a groat
number of Mexicans crossed over Into
their native lund today.
Mobilization Ik Incomplete.
WASHINGTON, Juno 21. Secre
tary of War Baker did not order the
militia of the several states to ther
bordor today on account of the fact
that the details of mobilization wore
not completed.
Tho troops will doubtless be en
routo to the border at the end of
the present week.
Just what states will receive the
first calls depend upon the state ot
preparedness they are found In. It Is
considered likely that more than
SO, 000 will comprise the first army
sont nt the first call.
Tho method of calling out tho boys.
Is as yot undecided, and it will,
only be done whon the developments
of tho situation require It. The re
ports that tho administration lntonda
to ask for a half million mon ia
grossly exaggerated.
Naval Illorkado Considered.
An order putting into effect at
naval blockade of all Mexican ports.
Is expected at an eurly date. The
officials of tho navy department Bald
that this would be a comparatively
easy mutter to accomplish, but as
tho population Ib already near the
starvation point, tho putting Into ef
fect of a real blockade would fur
ther add to their sufferings. The
officials for this reason are inclined
lo go slow, and roal action In this
mattor will not come for Bevoral
weeks. .
Tho health of tho militiamen Is a
thing to be considered as thoy must
bo acclimated nnd It is expected that
after they reach tho border a period,
of waiting will follow, while Carranza.
