be advisable for them to get in COM

Gen. Francisco Gonzales, command

today was moving his men westward
to Casas Grandes, Galeana and other
towns in proximity to the American

Gen. Gavira said that as the Mexicans

see good reason for the Americans
remaining. Gavira came to Ell Paso
to consult with Gen. Bell, in command
of Fort Bliss. 1t was stated that
questions relating to the patrol of the
