LATEST REPORTS FROM BRIGADIER GENERAL BLISS Declare Mexican Generals Have Not Moved Their Forces. ‘Washington, Dec. 17.—Secretary Gar- rison conferred with President Wilson tonight, giving him the latest reports from Brigadier General Bliss on the situation at Naco, Ariz, where the po- posing Mexican genmerais have not yet moved their forces so as to avoid firing into American territory. "Fhe reports showed hat the condi- tions had undergone. no _apparent change, although there was little firing in_evidence. ‘While the United States government is determined, if necessary, to open fire on the Mexican forces to compei them to stop shooting into the state of Arizona, it was learned tonight that no declsive action was planned, pend- ing the efforts of Brigadier ‘General Hugh Scott, chief of staff 'of the United States, now en route to Naco, to infuence the two factions to adjust the sitoation. Believe Hostilities Will Be Avoided. The general belief in official quarters tonight was that some satisfactory un- derstanding would be reached which would make unnecessary any hostilities by -the six batteries of artillery, three regiments of infantry and eleven troops of cavalry which have been stationed there by -the Washingten goyvernment i to take defensive steps- against the Mexican factions.

Hill Warned by Bliss. While the reparts from General Bliss to the war department were not made public, it is believed they indicated that ile thought he had persuaded General Maytorena' to stop firing into the United States. Until there is a definite understanding of the whole situation, it is thought General Bliss has warned Géneral Hill not to take the offensive. which would draw the fire of the Maytorena troops. General Iturbide’s friends in Mesico are fearful for his safety, and Secre- tary Bryan today directed Consul Silli- man in the Mexican capital to make urgent representations in his behalf.
