Sudden Change of Front, Which li Known to Have Been Dictated From Washington, Has Left Commander! and Privates on the Raw Edge ot Indecision Insurrectoa Will Tie Uf Railroad Line South of Laredo. San Antonio, March 21. Something has happened in Washington, or is happening there, io bring about e radical change in orders regulating the immediate movements of the di vision of the army now mobilized on the big plain at Fort Sam Houston res ervation. Sunday one squad of cavalry was waiting orderj to jump westward on a train of the Southern Pacific lines which has been assembled and lay ready for instant departure end regi mental commanders of every unit in the encampment had reason to believe that within a fortnight they would be commanding their men on campaigns, leaving their tents and heavy impedi menta standing behind them. Yesterday orders instituting the par tial and temporary disintegration of the division were Issued and the train which was to carry the Eleventh cav alry squnrdron to Pecos river and further West still stands ready but empty. Sudden Change of Front. This sudden change of front, which is known to have been dictated from Washington some time within the last 12 hours, has left commanders and high privates equally on the raw edge of indlclslon. The puzzlement produced is complete. Whenever a correspondent poked his head in a colonel's tent he was seized, set on a cot and told to de liver what he knew about the why and wherefore of the thing; what was doing at Washington. There was nothing but rumor and speculation from end to end of the ni lie-long divi sion streets. At the offices of the Southern Pacific freight yards it was said that the string of 100 stock cars had not been broken and anyone could go and look at the 13 Pullman and tourists sleep ers that had been hurriedly put togeth er in the late hours of Saturday night. This disjilte (he fact that In the afternoon General Carter stated with emphasis that no orders whatever had been given to the railroads to hold cars in readiness for immediate requi sition. The strongest indication that a pos sible movement of the troops to the border or beyond within the next few days had received countermanding or ders from the war department, lay in the announcement made at division headquarters that General F. A. Smith, commander of the First brigade, had been given permission to mcrch his brigade to Leon Springs for maneuv ers. General Smith's brigade com prises tho Eleventh, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Infantry regiments. This means that, about 4,000 men will be withdrawn from the forces at Fort Sam Hous'on for a week when the permission to move is carried out. Tho brigade will occupy two days on the march each way to the army res ervation at Leon Springs and will ppend three days in maneuvers and ilfte practice there. Rebels Will Tie Up Railroads. When Alfonso Madt'ro was asked concerning the report brought up here from the state of Coajullo that the in currectos there had planned to Btop communication on the line of the na tional railroads of Mexico south of Laredo, he said that such a report was correct. After today, he said, no trains would run on that line south of the Ameri can border. The line would be taken be cause the Diaz forces had been moved over the lines from the south to the affected districts around Saltillo and Montrey. No confirmation of Madero's thrpat could be had at the offices of the Na tional railway in San Antonio or from the I & G. N. offices at the con noctlng point, Laredo. Reports of thece days' fighting In the neighborhood of Saltillo were brought up to San Antonio on the northbound express.
