making threats or delivering incen-
diary utterances likely TO inilame the
populace and leave a garrison to pre-
vent mob riots if he evacuated the
capital.
2. That transportation facilities be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz be
guaranteed so that food and other sup
plies may be sent into the national
capital and those who desire to leave
the place may do so.

Carran2a forces has been ordered by
the first chief of the constitutional
Secretary Bryan following the receipt
of a cablegram from Consul Silliman,
