Washington, March 15:-That the
threatened diplomatic break in the
Blatt-C Converse controversy between
the United States and Mexico may
furnish lever by which pro-Japanese
officials In Mexico may be eliminated
from governmental affairs, was the
belief expressed in official cirlles to-
day.
The positive character of the as
sertion made by the state depart
ment that Edwin H. Blatt and Law
renee f. Converse, alleged filibus-
ters, were captured on American soil,
as against equally insistent state
ments by the Mexican foreign Office
that they were caught in Mexico, Is
believed likely to offer cause for in
tervention.

San Antonio, Texas, March 15:-
With the arrival today OF the Ninth
Cavalry and the Fourth Field Artil-
lery, the entire manoeuvre division
under Major General Carter Is now
in camp. That tomorrow will see

Ing the whole division toward the

by officials here.

Expression IN Japan.

leading Toxic newspaper, generally
recognized as the government mouth
piece, in an editorial today declares
that the Japanese government rec
ognizes that American interests in
Mexico Justify the mobilization of an

Movements in Mexico.
San Antonio, Tex, March 15.-With
the next general movement of the reb-
els toward the city of Chihuahua,
which Is expected at any time, the
provisional army under command of

aered to proceed at once to Eagle Pass
and El Paso. General Carter is known
to be in close communication with In
surrecto affairs, and should any attack
be made that would threaten Ameri-

A telephone message from Eagle

lists, most of whom are striking coal
miners, are armed and waiting FOR the
signal that means assault on the fed
