PL iHIINQ DRAWS FORCES UP IN BATTLE LIME AWAITING THREATENED HOSTILE ACT MILITIA 10 BE BY END OF WEEK WASHINGTON, June 21 Barker ill not order the militia to the bor der today because mobilization is in complete. It Is doubtless If the men will be enroute before the end of the week. What state's militia will be called first depends upon its readiness. Undoubtedly more than 00.000 men are going. A method for calling for volunteers has not been arranged. This only will be done when developments re quire it. Reports that the adminis tration intends to ask for a half mil lion volunteers appear to be exagger ated. An order for a navy blockade of Mexican ports is expected soon. Of ficials said It would be comparatively easy to blockade Mexico. Eut the population already Is near starvation nd the putting into effect of a real blockade would meaif further suffer ing. Therefore officials are determin ed to go slowly. Ileal action will not co rut for several weeks. Tne militiamen must be given time to become acclimated It is expected that after they reach the border a per iod of waiting will follow while Car ranza Is given a final chance. The majority of the lOO.OOO militia men now mobilizing will begin to move to the border immediately after mobl Illation is complete if the railroads are able to carry them. They will be dis- j trlbuted along the border from the Gulf of California immediately, releas ing the entire force of regulars for an actual invasion of Mexico if war is de clared. The reserve militia will be stationed at Fort Huston. REFUGEES FLEE ARE GATHERING WASHINGTON. June 21.
