 Burned fer Three Hours.
 The fire started in the rear of the Owen X Kicks undertaking establish ment at AT Main street about 5:30 o'clock, presumably from defective wiring.

Administrations Answer to| Carranza Is to Order $500
 Men to Naco, Arizona.
BLISS MEANS BUSINESS
Sending of Additional Troops. Equip. ped for War, Follows Cabinet Meeting at Which Report
 from Bliss Is Read.

Washington, Dec. 15.-OrGers wero issued by Secretary of War Garrison alter cabinet meeting today that three regiments of infantry and tn batteries of artillery, aggregating 3oo0 men, be sent at once to reinforr Gen. Bliss at Naco.
 When high official was asked tho purpose of sending these troaps, he relpied:
 Well, they are not going fishing" {"
 Two significant facts relating to the hurry orders of today are these.
 First, that the order for additional troops followed the Carranza sta ment to Secretary Bryan yes terday that any use of force by the United States such as firing across r. border. would be regarded as hos tile act.
 Second, that the troops which are heing hurried to Naco will mako United States troops equal to the combined forces of General Ms tena, in command for Villa, and Gen eral Hill, within the town, in com- mand for General Carranza
 There will be 5000 soldiers on each side of the line.
 The troops which have been assign ed to go to Naco are the following:
 The Eleventh. Eighteenth ana Twenty-second regiments of infantry E and C of the fifth field artillery stationed at Fort Still, Okla.
 Carry H0Witzers Along.
 Orders went out a little after ; o'clock to General Thomas F. Davi:; who will command the reinforce ments, to have the troops fully equip- ped and with ten days supplies at least. They are to carry searchlights and twelve machine guns, and it is noted that batteries A and B arc commands which carry howitzers fo~ long-range firing.
 General Bliss report today, army officers say, was very comprehensive It dealt primarily with the attitude i'' which he would beplaced if ordered te take decisive action while confront ed on the other side by superio" force. These officers called atter tion again to the statement made yes terday that the reply of General Ca" ranza to the state department very disturbing, and that it General Bliss sent a shell across the borde- cit would mean war"
 Officially, the secretary of war does not comment on the dispatch to day of General Bliss. other than to say that it dealt with "conditions which had arisen there."
 Expert army opinion is that FN situation which has been made by tho president in ordering troops to 'Nacf creates the nearest approach to a real conflict with Mexico since tho heeinning of the Carranza govern nent
