BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. Washington, Feb. 24. Military or ders flew thick and fast today In re dempuon of Tairs promise to have ten thousand troops assembled at Galveston when Wilson becomes presi dent.

These orders called for the as sembly of the entire second division of th reorganized army. The troops affected are widely scattered through- out the middle states and along: the Mississippi from the gulf to Canada. It la beUeved that the mobilization the entire division, comprising about tan thousand will be accomplished In a week. Major General Wm. H.

Carter, commander of the second division, was ordered today from Chicago to Galveston. All plans for the possible sending of troops Into Mexico will continue with minute thoroughness up to the end of the Taft administration. It is hoped this will be taken as a warning: to the Mexican government. So far the state department has given little thought to the political recognition of the new government and it in planned to await further developments in regard to the new government in the light of Ambassador "Wilson's recommendations.

Tha extent to which recognition may be extended by the United States to the Huerta government has not been determined. This probably will depend largely upon recommendations of Ambassador Wilson, who has been given large discretionary authority. The question is likely to be brought to an Issue very soon through some application from the Huerta goyernment. which, it is understood, is not disposed to remain satisfied with the action of Ambassador Wilson in recognizing it as a de facto government only. Sunday's tragic events are likely to be considered.

The withholding of full recognition, i however, Is not in any sense involved in a decision of any question of in-" tervention In Mexican -affairs: President Taft has declared he has not changed his policy in that regard as a result of the 4atest developments In the Mexican capital and it remains true that probably only the extreme Jeopardy of Americans and foreigners lh Mexico would be regarded as sufficient for a departure from that policy. Advices to the state department say that General Trevino, In command of the Madero federal forces in Northeastern Mexico, but who was one of the staunch supporters of former President Porflrlo Diax, has declared his allegiance to the Huerta regime and requested authorization to accept the provisional governorship of Nuevo Ieon.

Mexico City, Feb. 24. Three men who were once ex-presldent Sladero's friends, but turned against him dur ing the last months of his regime may get places in the new government. They ai-e Francisco de la Barra, provisional president of Mexico after the resignation of Porfirio Diaz and before the Inauguration of. Madero Dr.

Vas-quez Gomez, iladero's first representative tn --W9hkigtoa fai 1911m i -and Manuel Calero, who followed Gomez as Mexican "representative at Washlngr ton, but resigned several weeks ago. Had Madero remained in. power it Is said that he would have caused the death of these men. Among the papers found in his possession was a list of those who it is charged were marked for slaughter. The names of the three men mentioned were among the first on the list.

During the last few days of the Madero regime de la Barra was in constant fear and sought protection in the British legation. Under the new order it is likely that de la Barra will become fereign minister. Manuel Calero on resigning hi post as minister to Washington several weeks ago declared that he had misrepresented the true conditions in Mexico upon orders from Madero. He OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION BEING MADE BY GOVERNMENT INTO DEATHS OF MADERO AND SUAREZ BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. Mexico City, Feb.

24. An official ln vestigation of the death of Madero and Suarex has begun and the general belief Is it will substantiate the official versions. Huerta and other authorities are in earnest in the declarations that the government is acting In good faith and the death of the prisoners was due to unforeseen circumstances. With the passing of Madero. the general opinion prevails that tho tenseness of the situation has been relieved.

There is a tendency on the part of all classes to accept the new order. From various parts of the country reports are received telling of on the Fart ot all classes to acceptth new adhesions to the new regime. For.neTr order of things. From various the present, at least, the Huerta gov ernment has the upper hand. The "fact that the bodies of the two statesmen were recovered In the rear of the penitentiary was explained today by the statement that a second encounter occurred close to the building.

It is said the automobiles ran should be payable to the second wife, if there were such. The supreme ccurt of Tennessee upheld the first wife's claim on the ground that an official of the order informed her that she would reap the benefits if she continued to pay the premiums after the divorce was granted. The case as argued before the, supreme court technically concerned the validity of the Tennessee law which allowed insurance beneficiaries a 25 per cent penalty from insurance companies vhich refused to settle "just claims within sixty days. The court upheld the law. WHO TURNED AGAINST IN NEW GOVERNMENT may again go to Washington as the representative of the Mexican government.

Dr. Vasquez Gomez was "Madero's representative In Washington in 1911, but even then was playing his own game of politics, and before the.Me- dero revolution was fairly, ended was undermining his chief. Failing to get the vice-presidency he turned against Madero openly and revolted. He has twice declared himself provisional president. In that capacity he has been leading a rebel movement in the north.

In order to put an end to this revolution It is considered likely that he will be offered a place in the new government. along a' side road and thai Madero and Suarez jumped out and were running when they were caught between the fire of the guards and the attacking party, this accounting for wounds being, inflicted on them from different directions. Provisional President Huerta and other authorities here are earnest in declarations that the government was acting in good faith and that the death of the prisoners was due solely to un-forseen clrcumstanes. With the passing of Francisco Madero, the general opinion prevails that the tenseness of the situation has been relieved. There is a marked tendencv parts of the country reports have been received telling of further adhesions to the new administration.

PROPHESY PEACE. The morning newspapers herald the new era and prophesy immediate peace and the early resumption of prosperous conditions. General Huerta's government undoubtedly has, for the present at least, the upper hand in the country. A committee of followers of Zapata arrived today to discuss arrangements to bring about peace in the south. Reports from Oaxaca Indicate the disaffected Indians there have been placated.

Juan Sanchez Azcona, Madero's private secretary, was released from prison today. FORMER MADERISTA TROOPS NEAR CHIHUAHUA REBELLING El Paso. Feb. 24.
