Mr. Uhl to Señor Romero.
Washington, November 20, 1893.
My Dear Mr. Romero: I beg to say that I have received a letter from the War Department of 18th instant, communicating an announcement from Col. Z. R. Bliss, Twenty-fourth Infantry, dated 10th instant, that Companies B and I, at present encamped at Grant, have been ordered to Deming, N. Mex., by rail, where they should have arrived on the 17th instant, with a view of proceeding immediately to the international boundary for the purpose of protecting American interests. Should violations of our neutrality appear, the additional instructions to the commanding officer on the border will meet the case.
I am, etc.,
Acting Secretary.
