Carranza's Reply is Reperted to Say if the United States Uses Force it Will be Considered as an Unfriendly Act. Mexleo City, Dec. 11, via El Paso, Texas, Dec, 18.—(Deloyed in transmis- sion), The situation at Naco, Sonora, on the International border was com mented on today by Provisional Pres. dent Gutirrez in an_interview, to The Associated Press, said: “I sincerely regret the _troubles which have occurred-along the north- ern_border, in which Americans have been Killed or wounded by stray bul- lets. I have ordered the absolute ceseation of hostilities in the neighbor- hood of Naco and I will proceed in a like manner should fighting occur at any other point on the border, even if such an order should jeopardize our cause. 1 realize that, at any cost, we must remain the friends of Americans. Refugees Guaganteed Safety. President Gutirrez .today answered the note of Secretary Bryan, which was presented by the Brazilian min- ister yesterday, in which guarantees were asked for refugees who left Vera z upon Carranza’s entrance to that Eort, and who now wish to ro-enter Mexico, by way of El Paso. Gutirrez assured thé: Washington government that he would give these men full guarantee of safety. Fresident Gutirrez still is confined to his bed, but is much: improved in health.

Secre- tary Bryan said that he did not know the nature of the reply, as the mes- sage came in code and had not been decipheréd. ‘The warning was communicated to both General Carranze and Provisional ldent Gutierrez, as heads of the rival factions represented at Naco, So- nora, where bullets falling across the international line have killed and wounded a number of Americans. Gutlerrez replied by dictating an order in the presence of Consul Silliman, directing Governor Maytorena, whose troops are besieging - General Hill's garrison at Naco, to cease operations if necessary to stop firing across the border. In a statement at Vera Oruz last night, Carranza declared that if the United States employed force to stop the firing at Naco “it will be consider- ed an anfriendly act, notwithstanding the friendly motives cleaking the act.” General Hill, Carranza pointed out, has been on the defensive at Naco, and since his back was to the line “it is difficult to see how he could be re- sponsibie for the. firing.
