Washington, D. c., Dec. 16-While
American reinforcements were ready
to entrain today for Naco. Ariz.. ad-
ministration officials learned through
official advices that Governor Maytor-
ena, commander of the Villa troops
besieging the Mexican town Of Naco,
had announced he would discontinue
firing into American territory. This
compliance with the orders of Pro-
visional President Gutierrez, 1t was be-
lieved here, would relieve tense sit
uation.
The Washington government had
been notified that the orders OF Gut
ierrez to his commander had been dis
patched. 1t had warned both factions
that unless the firing ceased American
artillery would shell the Mexican
troops out of their positions The re-

CARNIACK AMENDMENT.
Senator Cummins' Proposal That It
 Be Rewritten Before Senate.

Washington, :. June 3.--Senator Cummins' proposal that the Carmack amendment to.>the interstata com- merce law betrewritten seeas to hold railroads liable generally for loss to shipments during transit was before the senate today. In explanation of his bill, Senator Cummins told the senate that the supreme court had held recently that the Carmack amendment making initial railroad carriers liable for loss of shipments had annulled all state laws on lia- bility for damage to interstate ship ments. As result, the railroads had proceeded to limit liability to the value stated in the bill of lading. He asked for the passage of a law re- quiring railroads to pay the actual loss suffered by shippers except where the shipments were wrapped or the interstate commerce commission had granted permission for the mak- ing of rates on value.
