GEN. SCOTT ORDERED
TO MEXICAN BORDER


any other point along the border
where American lives and property
may be endangered.
Vigorous Measures Taken by U. S.
Further demonstration was made by
the United States government last
evening of its determination not to
tolerate continued firing by the Mexi-
can factions at Naco. Sonora, into
American territory.
President Wilson. after a brief dis
cussion with his cabinet. instructed
Secretary Garrison to comply with the
request of Brig. Gen. Tasker Ii. Bliss.
at Naco, AriZ.. for reinforcements to
handle a possible emergency situation
Three regiments of infantry and three
batteries Of artillery were ordered to
Naco.
AS it will require three days for the
troops to reach Naco, the Mexican
within which to comply with the
American demands or be shelled out
of their positions
These reinforcemente will bring the
total force of the American army at
Naco to about 5000 men. including
eleven troops of cavalry, three regi-
ments of infantry and six batteries of
artillery, with twenty-four guns. Gen.
Hill of the Carranza faction has 1900
men and Gen. Maytorena OF the Cutter
reg government $500 troops. Both fac
tions have what Secretary Garrison de-
scribed as "a fair amount" of artillery.
The following statement was issued by
Mr.. Garrison:
Requested by Gen. Bliss.
'In view of conditions on the border.
as he sees them, Gen. Bliss has re-
quested that additional infantry and
artillery be sent him. In compliance
with this request, the following troops
are being dispatched to and placed un-
der his command. These reinforccments
are being requested and sent as
measure of precaution. The troops to
be sent are three regiments of infan-
try from Galveston or Texas City and
one battery of Al guns and two bat
teries of Al howitzers from Fort Sill,
Okla.
Thus far the warnings to Carranza
and Gutierrez have resulted in instruc-
tions to Hill and Maytorena, respec-
lively, to regulate their fire so that
territory. Either these instructions
have been received and disregarded or
their receipt purposely is not acknowl-
edged. in the view of high officials
here.
Bullets have continued to fall across
the line during the past few days. The
United States has already outlined that
it intends to take defensive" and not
aggressive' action, and as soon it
has an adequate force in position. Off
cials believe one or the other of the
Mexican factions will withdraw.

rison, the 11th, 18th and ed infantry

supplies for ten days and not less than
