that no American troops be sent into
Mexican territory at Piedras Negras
without specific Instructions from
Washington, went from the war de
partmcnt today to Brigadier General
Bliss and Consul Blocker concerning
the situation at Piedras egras.
As the result of several conferences
between Consul Blocker, Major Cald-

troops at Eagle Pass Tex. and the
constitutionalist officers would not at
tempt to destroy either of the two in
ternationai bridges there. This had
been commanded on the ground that
the bridges were necessary to insure
the safety OF American and other for
cign residents in Piedras egras.

be directed on them.
