one, as shown b. the departure to-day

troops number 5000, and are expected

eral Bliss, commanding the troops on
the Mexican border, reported TO the
War Department to-day that he con-
ferred at Naco yesterday with General
Ramirez, military secretary of General
Maytorena, the Villa commander OF
the Mexican forces besieging General
Hills Carranza troops. Ramirez was
told by General Bliss what was ex-
pected OF the Maytorena forces in
shaping their operations against the
Carranzs forces so as TO avoid danger
to life and property on the American
side of the line, and he undertook TO
communicate the representations TO
Maytorena.
In official quarters here no predictions
are being made as TO the course the
United States will pursue, but il is
generally understood that after Briga-
der General Scott, chief Of staff Of the
army, arrives at Nsco on Saturday and
conducts his negotiations with both
sides Of the Mexican factions, further
firing into American territory can have
but one result
