Marshalls are ready to move

Force of Deputies Are Held in Federal Building Ready to Respond to Call From Border.

Much uneasiness is felt in the office of the United States Marshal relative to the outbreak along the border. Until a late hour last night Marshal Nolte and his force of deputies remained at the office in the Federal Building awaiting communications from both Washington and points along the border.

"With reference to the situation along the border," said Marshal Nolte, "I can say nothing at present. I believe the condition to be serious in places, but unless my deputies along the line are not able to cope with the situation I shall remain here.

"Of course the neutrality laws will be observed, and it is up to the Marshal's office to see that they are. Howewer, I think the deputies in that part of the district are able (o handle the affair unless conditions take a more serious tum."

At department headquarters, Fort Sam Houston, no action has been taken. Though the military authorities have been kept advised of the situation in general, it is not thought that troops will be needed.
