FL PAso. May o7.--Gen. Gavira. Car
rama commander In Juarez, conferred
to-day with Gen. BELL in FL Paso on
the distribution Of troops along Inc

Later Gen. Gavira said ne sent q
telegram to Gen. Persh,ng at Namiputpa
notifying him that several Columns OK
Mexican troops were being moved west
ward from stations on the Mexican Cen
trail Railroad toward the camps or
United States troops In the western part
Of the State. The object of the telegram
was TO inform the American leader fully
Of the movement In order to avoid pos
able friction.
There was A rumor in Juarez to-day
that Carranza and ohregon do not APP
prove of Gen. Gavira's plan to hold a
conference with Gen. Pcrshinr, but see
no objection to Informing the United
States commander by wire Of the dis
positions of de facto soldiers.
Gen. Obrcgon, as zone commander or
northern Mexico, moved 1000 of his
troops west to-day from no'nts on the
Mexican Central Railroad, south OF
Juarez, TO points along the Mexico
Northwestern Railroad, running south
west from Juarez nto the country oc-
cupied at present by the Pershing

Gen. Pershing's line Of communication

last night over the Northwestern to
Pearson. South of the pcrshing base at
Colonia Dublan they were delayed by
the burning Of three bridges, Juarez
ohicials did not know whether the burn.
ing had been accidental or was the
work of bandits.
Adyices to the American army base
at Columbus said the Pershing forces

FUNSTON PAYORS
CONFERENCE ON
TROOP DISPOSAL
Gen. Pcrshing Hopes to Con-
vince Gavira Cooperation
Is Needed.
WOULD SOON CLEAN Up
BANDITS IN MEXICO

WASHINGTON, May 27.--Gen. Funston
has advised the War Department, that he
approved the suggestion Of Gen. Pcrshing
for . conference between the latter and
Gen. Gavira, commanding the Carranza
troops along the border, with the express
proviso that the conference would not
discuss in any way the question of a
withdrawal of the American expedition
from Mexico.
Gen. Pershlng. so Funston reports.
expressed confidence that he would be
able TO convince the Carranza COM
mander that by closer cooperation be-
tween the forces of the two Governments
the work OF cleaning up the bandits
could Be quickly accomplished. He
added that natives with whom the
American expedition has come in contact
were generally friendly and opposed to
any thought Of hostillties with the
United States.
Inquiries to-day as to the steps taken
by the State Department to meet the
publicly proclaimed threat Of Iapata to
attack all railway trains with a view to
slaughtering travelling Americans and
other foreigners, elected the information
that for some time past the department
has been refusing to issue passports TO
Americans applying for transportation
70 interior points In Mexico. including
Mexico city.
Want Them to stay Ont.
n was explained that this %precaution
vas taken. not because of any special
apprehension of anti-Anericar out
ofhcial quarters that Americans should
etay out Of Mexico In the present I'M
soetlsd state OF affairs.
The State Department this afternoon
received word from Eagle Pass. Tex.
that Manuel Mendez. an official OF the
Mexican Foreign Office. passed through
there yesterday en- route for Washington
With the new note which Carranza 10
sending TO the United States on the
question Of a withdrawal Of the Amert-
ran expedition. He Is expected TO
reach here on Monday or Tuesday. when
II IL understood he will deliver the note
{ Eliseo Arrendondo. the Mexican AM
bassador designate for delivery to the
State Department.
Ofacials here are still inclined to the
0olieS that the note will not contain a
psrsmptory demand for immediate with
drswal. but will suggest a basis Of dip
lomatic discussion.
A. a sidelight on the efforts which the
Administration has been making to pre-
vent anything like a new revolution in
N0xtco. It was stated to-day by a mem
her Of one OF the Congressional Com
mittees on Foreign Affairs that at the
outset OF the recen. conferences between
Gems. Scott md Obregon on tho border,
Gen. Scott aimed particularly 10 conveJ
60 the Mexican War Minister that the
United States was anxious to see the
Carranza government upheld and would
look with strong disfavor on any inde'
0sndent movement started among any
of Carranza's followers.
