towns in the future lie pointed out
that when the expedition reached
Casas Grandes. the question arose with
the DO facto government as 10 the

Baker indicated. however. that the 90
orders did not preclude Oh" American
troop from passing throuch -urh
towns when necessary. and that ne
did not consider that the entry ot

Inhabitants could be- construed A. an
