No Troops for chihuahua

Douglas, Ariz., Jan. 29.-Maior En-
riquez and Captain Galvez, with 300
followers, who left Aqua Prieta a
month ago with the announced inten-
tion of proceeding to Colonia Morelos,
with Sonora and Sinaloa troops to be
modified to reinforce Villas Chihua-
ihua army, have returned and today
are in camp across the international
line opposite here.
1t has been stated that these troops
had reached Chihuahua, but the com
manding officers said they had been
recalled by telegraphic orders from
Hermosillo. Constitutionalists say the
order indicates that Carranza had de-
cided not to send any troops from So,
nora or Sinaloa into Chihuahua.

Mrs. Clark was located last night
at Paso Robles, and over the long dis
tance telephone dictated the following
reply to the note, with the request
that it be published, as demanded in
the letter:
