 Gales is still confined to his room as a result of his recent illness. al though he expects to be able to rec sume his duties within few days.
 Gales was asked concerning the criticism over his act in ordering the burning Of bridges as far south as hlometer B. He stated that cir cumstances, over which he had no control caused it and that if May. torena had kept his promise not Co use the railroad for troop movements and would permit supplies to go through to the Nacozari and Ticra camps. he would not have ordered the bridge burning
 He stated that when the companies operating to the south requested tlet they be permitted to send provisions south about ten days, he acquiesced with the understanding that the pro visions would be used in the camps for the sustenances of the uativfi and employees and not for the forces of Maytorena; also that the train would not be used iby the Maytorena troops for military purposes.
 After permitting the train to gc through Agua Prieta General Gales stated that it was held mp ut From teras by the Maytorena troops and the majority of the food supplies uH loaded for the soldiers and the train was taken then for troop movement. 1 Officials of the Nacozari company yesterday confirmed General Gales statement that the supplies had beer removed at Fronteras.
 "I have no desire to hamper Am erican enterprises to the south and the fact that the officials of the Naco- zari and Tigre company have made nc i complaint, is proof that they under stand my position. Maytorena has violated several promises he has made so far. including the agreement moi to occupy trains and guaranteeing th' neutrality of the Nacozad railroar and it win not be surprising if hC goes even further and attacks Agn' Prieta.
