territory. As 1t will require three days
for the troops to reach Naco, the Mex

American demands or be shelled out OF
their positions.
The reinforcements ordered today
will bring the total force Of the Ameri-
can army at Naco to IL troops of cav
airy. three regiments OF infantry and
six batteries of artillery with "a guns.
The following statement was issued by

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 reinforcements
are being requested and sent as d
measure Of precautfon. The troops to
be sent are three regiments of infantry
from Galveston or Texas City, and one
