ASK HUNT NOT TO
SEND M|LITIAMEN
OVER THE BORDER
SeC'y Garrison Tells Arizona
Governor Such Action Might
Involve United States in
Serious international Trouble

WASHINGTON, oct. 14.-After a
conference with the president, Sec'y
of War Garrison today requested Gov.
Hunt of Arizona not to send militia
to the Mexican border because such
an act might precipitate grave inter
national complications"
Government officials admitted to-
day that the situation on the border
is the gravest that the United States
has faced since the occupation OF
Vera Cruz.
Gov. Hunt telegraphed Sec'y Gar
rison that he intended to send all
available Arizona militia to NacO for
the protection of the citizens Of the
state Sec'y Garrison replied that the
United States troops already in Naco
were doing everything possible to
prevent injury to life and property on
this side of the border, short Of de-
claring war on Mexico, and that the
presence of the state troops would
only complicate matters.
GARRISON ASKS DELAY.
Gov Hunt, in informing the war
department that he intended to send
troops to NacO, concluded with the
declaration that Arizona citizens
must be protected"
Sec'y Garrison's message to Gov.
Hunt read:
The arrival OF militia might preci-
pitate an I'll considered move which
would bring about armed conflict
with consequences which no one
could force" He added that the
president heartily concurred in this
view.
A later dispatch from Gov. Hunt
stated that the situation at Douglas,
Ariz., was critical and that a soldier
and child on the American side of
the line had been struck by bullets
from the Mexican garrison at Auga
Prieta. Brig. Gen. Bliss. commanding
the American troops along the bOrd-
er reported to the war department
today that the constitutionalist garri-
son at Naco, Sonora. numbers about
$500 and that they are outnumbered
by the attacking force by about 1000.
Neither side, Bliss added. is strong
enough TO attack but it is reported
that reinforcements are coming up
from the south for the rebels.
Fourteen Cavalry Troops.
There are Il troops OF cavalry and
four machine guns now at Naco Ariz.,
TO keep order on this side of the line.
Bliss reported. And the greatest
danger is to slghtseers who insist on
going near the zone Another report
