Three Hill Shells Land On
 American Side of Line Americans Held Captives- War Munitions Are Coming.

| When three shells rom Hill's new
 field pieces landed over half mile inside the international boundary
 and within 300 yards of the osborn
 station yesterday morning. a demand
 was made on General Tasker Bliss asking why he did not act in accord
 ance with the ultimatum which he
 was reported to nave given Wednes-
 day. The demand resulted in the 1 flat denial of General Bliss tha' re | had ever made statements as atfri- buted to him. He told C. Ramirez, 1 Maytorena's agent that he was mis- taken in what had passed between them at their conference, and that no
 threat had been made by himself to
 wipe them off the world when the
 next shot fell on this side of the bor-
 der Ramirez, on The other hand
 stated that General Bliss was mis-
 taAen in his denial adn that De be- llieves now that there was much ''hhG" and little authority in the
 statements issued by the '. s, au- Ithcrity
 Ramirez learned Of Bliss's denial
 of the utimatum when he returned from Maytorena's camp yesterday where he had been all morning in i conference with his chief relative to
 the statements of the American com
 mander on the day proceeding. He brought word to General Bliss that the governor will not give up his po- sitions as they now stand. but will
 wait until the arrival of General Hugh Scott, enroute from Washington to look into the Mexican question on
 the Naco ground.
 General Maytorena through bis representative. Ramirez, requested
 of General Bliss that he be accorded
 a hearing with General Syott ou the
 latter's arrival in Naco Such a hear
 ling can be had over the international
 boundary, at a point convenient to
 both General Maytorena states that he believes General Scott is conver-
 ssnt with the Naco situation ard that
 he can easily convince him that his
 position is correct and that to give
 up the present hold he has will mean
 more than the loss of few ditches.
 Whether the hearing of the two
 generals will be granted is not yet
 known. General Scott will arrive in
 Naco probably Saturday, when he will be told of Maytorena's request and the conference will either be } granted or denied
