FILLING THE CCLEBRA GU
U. s. TROOPS TO KEEP OUT.
None TO Cross into Mexico without
Specific Orders from Washington.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Orders that no
American troops be sent into Mexican
territory a Piedras Negras without spe-
cfic instructions from Washington went
from the war department to-day to Brig. -
General Bliss, commanding the United
States border forces. Full advices have
been received from General Bliss and
Consul Blocker concerning the critical
situation existing at Pedras Negras as n
result of its practical evacuation by the
constltutionalists before the advancing
federals, but the Washington administra-
ton is confident that there will be no de-
velopments to make necessary a depart
ure from its settled policy of non-inter-
vention.
AS the result of several conferences
between Consul Blocker. Major Cald-
we'll commanding the American troops
at Eagle Pass, Texas. and the constitu-
tionalist officers at Piedras Negras it
was arranged that the constitutional
lists would not attempt to destroy
either of the two international bridges
there. This had been demanded on the
ground that the bridges were neces-
sary to insure the safety of the Amer
leans and other foreign residents in
Piedras Negras.
The instructions to Gen. Bliss would
not operate to prevent American troops
from returning any fire that may be
directed upon them from the Mexican
side, such as might be incident to the
use of force to defend the bridges and
keep them open.
CITY NOT TO BE DESTROYED.
Piedras NeGras, Mexico, Oct. 1.-The
city of Piedras Nesras will not be
destroyed, and every protection will be
afforded property owned by Americans
and other foreigners during anticipa ed
hOstilities between the constitutionaiists
and the federal army. This assurance
was given erican military authorities
to-day by n representative of Gen. Jesus
CaTanza, constitutionalist commander,
following vigorous protests made by the
state department through United States
Consu, Blocker.

cides to FOrsake "Newspaper Game"
CFrom the Washington ST


A long-deferred rest will be the first
thing to which sherman Allen, assistant
secretary of the treasury, will devote
himself when he is relieved from the
duties of his office by Senate confirma-
ton of the appointment of his successor,
Byron r. Newton. Mr.. Newton, now
private secretary to the secretary of the
treasury. will be sworn in and take office
as soon as the Senate acts on his nomi-
nation, sent in by the President yester-
day afternoon,
Tho newspaper business. which engaged
Mr., Aliens activities before he entered
the public service, will know him no
more. He proposes to engage in bust
ness, but Is not prepared at this time
to reveal his plans.
He Is known to have had several Of
fers. among others the management of
large newspaper plant In an editorial
capacity, and business propositions in
both New York and Chicago. He has
made up his mind, however, and he VIII
enter business.
From Washington Mr.. Allen will go TO
Atlantic City. n. j., for a week or so Of
recreation, Thence he will journey to his
home town. Burlington Vt, for a month
OF ideness before assuming his work

reau of correspondents. He was so en-
gagged when invited. IA months ago to
become an assistant secretary OF the
treasury under Secretary MacVeagh. His
paper, instead of accepting the resigna-

ceptance of the post, extended him a
years leave.
When the year was up Mr.. Allen, re-
publican was still serving as assistant
secretary OF the treasury, and now under
a democratic administration. Instead of
accepting a further extension of leave

FANCY LINES OF LINENS.
Importers Plan to Compete with Nov
city Cotton Dress Fabrics.

To compete with the novelty cotton
dress fabrics importers of dress linens are
bringing out many fancy lines. The goods
are exceptionally attractive being ordered

Extensive lines Of French dress linens are
being turned out to meet the demand for
something of a lighter weight and tex
ture that will drape well and fit smooth

colors and all white The most fashion
able shades for next spring are being Of
fered and the goods promise to have an
excellent run. In addition linen crepes
are being offered in both heavy and light
fabrics. They are made of double-twist-
ed thread. Linen ratineS in high colors
also French ratine, are among the spec
ialties for next spring. Spring orders to
date are reported as most satisfac Glory,
but spot and nearby business is badly

have the idea that considerable linen is
being held in bond at this port pending
the passing of the tariff and they can
pick up what they will need at lower
prices, based on the reduction I'm duty.
Late adViCes from Belfast state that
prices on linen cambrics have been adj
