ARTILLERY & CAVALRY AT NACO
Five Persons Have Been Killed and
Forty.Four Wounded on the
American Side Since Mator-
ean-HiII Forces cIashed.

Washington, Dec. 9.---The massing
of artillery and additional cavalry at
Naco, Ariz. was believed here today
to be incidental to a demand by the
United States that the warning insurg
ent factions lighting just inside the
Mexican border firing in the direction
of the International boundary line.
Just how far the United States will
go in stopping the killing of persons
on this side of the line will depend
entirely upon the report to be made
by General Bliss who is en- route to
Naco from San Antonio personally to
investigate for Secretary of War Gar
rison.
GERS on the scene say that Governor
Maytorena, the Villa commander, Is
preparing in force to attack General
Hill. CarranZa's leader. Such an at
tack under present conditions would
mean that the American town of Ma
co would be badly riddled and prob
ably many additional Americans
would be killed.
1t is believed here when General Bliss
reaches the scene he will warn both
combatants not to fire across the Dor
der and with the artillery at hand he
will be in a position to enforce this
demand.
Five persons have been killed and
A wounded since the Maytorena-Hili
forces elashed for the first time. OF
these 20 are Americans and II are
members of the American cavalry pa
