ORDER FOLLOWS MEETING
Secretary Of War Garrison Sends
Three Regiments and Three Bat
tsries to Naeo, Ariz.-Forees on
Both Sides of Border Equal.

issued by Secretary of War Garrison
after a. cabinet meeting that three
regiments Of infantry and three bat
teries Of artillery, aggregating $500
men, be sent at once to reinforce
General Bliss at Naco, Ariz.
When a high official was asked the
purpose of sending these troops he
replied:
We'll, they are not going fishing.
Equals Both Mexican Forces.
Two significant facts relating to the
hurry orders are these:
First-That the order for the addi-
ticnal troops followed the Calranza
statement to Secretary Bryan that ally
use of force by the United States, such
as firing across the border, would be
regarded as hostile act;
Second-That the troops which are
being hurried to NaCo will make the
United States forces equal TO the
combined fsrces of General Maytore'
na, in command for Villa, and General
Hill, within the town, in command Tor
General Carranza.
There will be 5000 soldiers on each
side of the line.
The troops designated to go to Mace
are the following: The Eleventh
Eighteenth and Twenty-second regi
ments of infantry, now at Texas City
and batteries A, B and c of the Fifth
Field artillery, stationed at Fort Sill
Okla.
Carry .Lons-Range Howitzers.
| Orders went out to Gen. Thomas i
Davis, who will command the re-en
forcements, to have the troops full!
| equipped and with ten days supplies
at least.
They are to carry searchlights AM
IL machine guns, and Batteries A an
b carry howitzers for long-range fiji
ing.

House had a very elaborate repor
from General Bliss, who was sent I
Naco some days ago, ito stop the III

Since that time several casualtie
have been caused by firing across tn
