OF Jusrez. conferred today with Gen.
George Bell, the American commander
in El Paso.
It is believed the conference was
preliminary to negotiations between
Gavira and Gen. Pershing. command
ing the American expedition in Mexico.
Gen. Gavira sought a conference with
Pershing several days ago. and Il was
thought today that Gen. Bell was de-
livering the PershinE reply. although
Gavirs paid the call. Both generals
said after the meeting in El Psso to-
day that It merely had TO do with
mutual cooperation" in Mexico.
Tells of Troop Movements.
Later. Gen. Gavira said he sent a
telegram to Gen. Pershing. at Nsmi-
quipa, notifying him that several col
umns Of Mexican troops were being
moved westward from stations on the
Mexican Central Railroad toward the
camps Of Americans in the western
part OF the state, and the object Of
the telegram was to inform Gen. Per
shing fully OF the movement IN order
to avoid possible friction.

that Carrsnzs and Obregon Go not sp-

taken south last night over the North

1t was nothing but a succession of
cheers, and the army of marchers and
their camp followers swarmed around
the Coloners house with such agreeable
enthusiasm that part of the porch COL
lapsed as the open-air speechmaking
ended and the crowd started to rush to
the door to go through and shake hands
