CAVALRYMEN STILL EXPECTING
ORDERS TO JOIN AN EXPEDI-
TIONARY FORCE
/
/
Despite the fact it was a holiday there
■was more than an undercurrent at Fort
Sam Houston yesterday, brought about
through the moblHzation at Galveston
of the Fifth Brigade, consisting of the
Fourth, Seventh, Nineteenth and Twenty-
eighth Infantries under command of
Bfig. Gen. F. A. Smith. Up to last night
there had been no telegrams received in-
dicating any portion of the garrison
here would be ordered to Galveston, but,
nevertheless, the feeling was apparent
the Third Cavalry, or at l*ast a portion
thereof, might get orders for expedition-
ary service.
Thus far. the only instructions received
here have been relative to supplies; that
in. rations and forage There are not
enough of these available here for a bri-
gade. but purchasing officers can go into
th*» open market and get such supplies
as are needed.
TROOPERS INTERESTED.
Officers of the Third Cavalry are in-
terested in the orders said to have been
received by the Eleventh Cavalry at
What'll Stop
Sour Stomach?
They Act Quick and Relief Is Almost
Immediate.
There are some tilings so exactly right
that to mention them brings e«lm and
repose. And to use Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets gives the stomach jnst that kind
of lift that makes you check up one hun-
dred per cvut to the good Particularly
Is this true with those who suffer with
iionr stomach. You feel so mean that yon
actually hate yourself And yet in a fev.
minutes these tablets sweeten the stom-
ach. srre«t unnatur.il fermentation, start
a powerful digestive action and prevent
the formation of gas.
They are composed of only such dl-
jfestunts ss are approved by the very best
of physicians.
Real, live, progressive people want to
be around where the activities of ijf<» em-
brace whatever circumstance* dictate If
s house party serves a Welsh rarebit go
to It. It isn't the easiest thing in the
world to digest, 'tis true, but what of
It? Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will take
rare of you, keep your s to ipse b in control
and your dreams won't see an army of
Chattanooga. The pack train of the regi-
ment has been ordered to Galveston, al-
though reports do not indicate clearly
whether the Eleventh was ordered to
entrain at once.
That no orders have been received con-
cerning the Third Cavalry Is not sur-
prising. The regiment could receive or-
ders to move and be in Galveston in
twenty hours, so these might held
back until the last moment. Some of the
infantry regiments will be two or three
days reaching Galveston, and it is not
believed ail or the troops will be in camp
before Wednesday afternoon.
However, the status of the troops here
is the same as It has been in the last
ten days. The men have all field equip-
ment packed and it would not require a
great deal of time to load stores needed
by the cavalrymen and artillerymen for
expeditionary service.
While the coast artillery subdistrict of
Galveston is embraced in the Eastern
Department, the camp of the expedition-
ary force probably will be with-ln the
limits of the Southern Department. The
commanding officer of the department
probably will not exercise jurisdiction in
connection with the camp except on such
orders as may come from Washington
pertaining to supplies.
Maj. Gen. William H. Carter, who com-
manded the maneuver division in San
Antonio, now commands the second divi-
sion of the army, consisting of the
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Brigades, in
which there are ten regiments of infan-
try, the Fourth Field Artillery, the Sixth
Cavalry, the Second Battalion of Engi-
neers less Company F; Company D of
the Signal Corps, Field Hospital No. 3
and Ambulance Company No. 3.
Thus General Carter is again taking
part in the mobilization of troops in
Texas. In the event other organizations
of the second division are ordered to
Galveston, the chances are General Car-
ter will himself join the camp. His head-
quarters are in Chicago.

CONVICTS SEE BERNHARDT
Noted Actress Entertains Prisoners in
San Quentin.
HAN QUENTIN, Cal.. Feb. 22.—For
their Washington's birthday holiday the
2,000 prisoners of San Quentin were en-
tertained by a company of French play-
era who appeared on a rough stage In
the prison yard.
Although the play was in a foreign
tongue, the convicts followed eagerly
every word and gesture, and they were
particularly interested in the work of
Madam Sarah Bernhardt, who was one of
the actresses.
An impressive scene followed the enter-
tainment. A tall, gray-haired prisoner, a
Frenchman, stepped from the wings and
bowed to the players. He then read in
French a testimonial from the prison in-
mates written by Abe liuef. the political
boss convicted by the Sun Francisco
graft prosecution.
"Today for an hour," the old French-
man read, "these stone walls have fiided
away. For an hour your great art has
made us free. Our hearts have been
touched by the actors and the play. We
extend to you our grateful thanks.'

sonable precaution directed to be taken
some time ago. in which the sending of
battleships to the various ports in Mexico
was the first step.
"The sending of four transports and
two brigades to Galveston is the next and
final step."
The President explained that the next
brigade to go to Galveston might be
taken from the East or from the Far
West.
There are about 2,500 troops now In
Texas and the brigade ordered there to-
day will bring the number above 6,000, so
that the President's final order would
swell the total close to 10,000. Beyond that
figure lie has no present intention of
going. His friends think it is for Con-
gress to decide whether a/iditional pre-
cautions should be taken and more troops
or more battleships point nearer to
Mexko.
The President is not ready yet to send
a formal message to Congress, displaying
all the mass of information on Mexico
tl.at has accumulated In the State De-
partment for the last two years. He has
not seen the necessity for such a. message
and believes Congress Is sufficiently ad- '
vised to decide upon its own course of
proceedings.
