the front indicated that American
troops were awaiting developments at
Washington before making any fur

Parral district was not intended as a
threat to bar the further advance of
the American forces, but that the

to preserve order and prevent destruc-

Andres Garcia, Mexican consul, said
to-day that the work of the American
expedition was concluded and that he
hoped that in Il few days the order
