CONFERENCES WITH oBREGoN FAtLS-ANOTHER IS CALLED
 HAS A COUNTER PROPOSAL.

Fl Paso. Texas.-Gen. Obregon, Juan Amador. Mexican subsecretary of foreign affairs, Gen. Scott, Gen. Funston and A. J. McQuatters met in the American conferees' car for an. other conference.
 Before coming to Fl Paso Gen. Ob- regon told several newspaper men he intended to make a eeuHter-proposal to Gen. Scott. His proposal. he said was that Mexicans and Americans should unite in policing the border, as many Mexicans to be placed on the American side as Americans on the Mexican side
 Gen. Obregon denied that he had is sued an ultimatum in effect in recent conferences with Gen. Scott if Amerf- can troops were not withdrawn from border.
 This, together with the report that Carranza had agreed to a proposed protocol, made the outcome of the conference considerably in doubt.
 The ordering out of three companies of state militia and ordering of more regular troops to the border eompli. cated the situation further, and grave fears are entertained that United States intervention may be only mat ter oI hours.
 Gen. Funston sent long dispatch to Gen. Pershing at the front. He would not say whether the message tA liCnngitinnc

 Having in view the possibility of further aggression upon the territory of the United States from Mexico, and the necessity for the proper protection of that frontier, the president has thought proper to exercise the author ity vested in him by the constitution and laws and call out the organized militia necessary for that purpose.
 ''I am, in consequence, instructed by the president to call into the service of the United States, through you, the organized militia of the state of Ari- zona Grexas and New Mexicol, which the present directs shall be concen, trated at the places designated by the commanding general Southern De. partment, now at Fl Paso, Texas, and which he has been directed to commu- nicate to you.

 At the conclusion of the final ses- sion the following statement, signed by the conferees, was given to the correspondents:
 That after several conferences, marked throughout with conspicuous courtesy and good will, in which con- ferences mutual impressions were ex- changed and information was collect. ed upon the military situation on the frontier it was agreed upon by the conferees to suspend the conferences and report back to their governments, in order that these may be able, through their respective foreign de- partments, to conclude this matter. That the ending of these conferences does not mean in any way a rupture of the good relations of friendship be- tween the eonferees nor between the respective governments.
