BIG ARMY SHAPING
(By Review Leased Wire)
SAN ANTONIO, June 27.—While the quartermaster's department was working out details of caring for more than 35,000 additional men of the national guard, General Funston and his staff today were engaged in revising and fixing the long list of troop stations with a view to starting a big, sweeping army across the border, if necessary.
The strongest garrison Carranza still has is that at Eagle Pass although a few men were still held at other points.
The apparent intention of Sonora commands to send a force of 1500 through Naco to Bisbee, presumably to raid the copper plants there, appeared today to have been abandoned. When the report was received last night the Twenty-second infantry sent from Douglas to Bisbee on a special train. Today there came reports of a strengthening of the Mexican garrison opposite Nogales but staff officers here expressed the opinion that the American force there was able to care for itself. Batteries A, B and C of the Third Field Artillery left for Eagle Pass tonight.
