any further Mexican depredations on
United States soil is the Interpretation
put on the orders issued yesterday by
the War Department, with the approval
of tho President, to Maj. Gen. Funston
to repel with force. If necessary, any
firing into American territory during
the hghting between the Mexican fac
tions in border towns. A note has been
sent to Gen. Carranza advising him of
that fact
The specific instructions to Gen. Fun
ston direct that border attacks be re-
sisted Immediately, without referring
the matter further to Washington. The
method of repelling such an attack
was not mentioned. but the inference
drawn was that United States artillery
would deal with any situation con-
strued as an attack on American citi-
zens
Soon after the issue of these orders
and the dispatch OF the warning to
Gen. Carranza, advices received by the
Carranza agency here from Vera Cruz
said that Carranza had specifically in
structed Gen. Gales, his commander
before Nogales. not to attack the Villa
forces there. and gave assurance that
the Carranza force, which has occupied
Naco, would be withdrawn. leaving a
civil administration in charge of that
place.
Under Consideration.
The State Department has had the
border situation under consideration
for several days. The villa and Car
rama agencies here have each held the
other responsible for the violation of
the Agreement to neutralise border
towns, made when Gen. Hugh L. Scott,
chief Of stan Of the army. last visited
Naco. Without engaging in any con-
troversy, tho American government has
insisted that the status quo be main
tanned and no fighting attempted which
would endanger those on the Ameri-
can side of the boundary.
The Carranza agency gave out last
night the following telegram from
Naco:
The town of Naco. Mexico. was to-
day evacuated by all Of our military
forces. in accordance with the agree
ment made last January between Gen.
Hugh L. Scott, chief of the staf, United
