The representatives of both Govern

that such measures are unnecessary
and that II will be best to leave the
settlement of the United States in

parties directly concerned and to the
operation OF natural agencies.
In other words the bankers and Off

This action was decided upon at \

at the War Department this afternoon
for the execution Of the details. I'll"
troops will move toward Naco as soon "a

troops are being sent at the request of

American forces at Naco. No instruC-
tions have as vet been sent to Gen.
Bliss, but hc has been told to await
orders from Washington.
The following statement was made
by Secretary Garrison in announcinS
this action:
In view of conditions on the hor
der, as he sees them. Gen. Bliss has
requested that additional infantry
and artillery be sent him. In COM
pliauce with this request the fol-
lowing troops are being despatched
to and placed under his command.
These rccuforcements are beng re-
