Aqua Prieta Will Be. the
Creation of an Incident
Long to Be Remembered.

of another conflict at Aqua Prieta, the

This step completes, it is said, the ad-
ministratiOn's present program of pre-
caution. The fact is emphasized in Of
fetal quarters that the American
troops have instructions not to cross
into Mexico.

cles that the Mexican government and
the insurgent commanders will heed
the warning and, as far as possible
choose their battle grounds with re-
spect to the rights of a neutral power

department To the representations made
to the MeSican government in this con-
nection, but assurance has been re-
ceived from the rebel commander at
Aqua Prieta.

acute situation that would arise in case
the American town is again threatened
1t is made plain that it would create a
diplomatic incident that would be i'm
mediately referred to and dealt with by
the president directly.
As far as the customs situation at

awaiting developments. The sub

the collector of the port at Douglas for
a report on conditions there and at

official reports before determining its
line of policy.

zona will be distributed at Fort Hua-
chucha, Nogales and Douglas, one

line. while Fort Huachucha lies about
midway between the two but forty
miles from the boundary. In addition
