Id vie of . the incomplete mobilization of the xollltla, the war department Indicated It probably would not laaue orden ending new forces to the Mexican border today. ' ' The time of lenience of tbla order, however, still waa In doubt, but offl lals aay they would watt until auffl lent mobllliatlon had been accom plished before taking the step. Secretary of War Baker aald hie messages of the past 14 hour ehowed no change In the altuatlon.

' The mllltla, under direct ordera of General Funston, will be Retributed long the International tin from the GuK or Mexico to California at once. They will be assigned to patrol duty, releasing the entire force or regulars now engaged In that work for actual Invasion of Mexico, In case war Is de clared." A large reserve of mllltla Iso will be stationed at Port 8am Houston. The actual ' number of guardsmen asked byFnnston tor Im; mediate service la nof known yet, but ha Indicated today that a Urge part of tbelr total will be sent to the bor der aa fast as they can be trans ported. He said the remainder will be called for In the event of hostili ties). All branches of the service will be Included In the movement southward. But Fun-ton declined to state Just how the various units will be distri buted, aa such knowledge would give the Mexicans a tactical advantage. The states ffom which the first troops will be called are to be chosen by the war department, aa Funston '.s expressed no preference in this respect. The biggest factor In any delay to be encountered by the-mllltla will be In equipping them with horses and mules. This leads to the belief that the New York and Illinois regiments will 'be the first to move, as they already are well supplied with nlmali. The war department has wired Funston to recruit four regiments of Infantry and two of cavalry at once for regular service. Detailed ln atruotlona have been mailed. Recruit ing will be started at once. Reports have beou received that Mexicans are assuming a threatening attitude at OJlnaga. Funston says they are "running around In circles, bragging about what they Intend to dO." ..'.:...'..
