WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. ~ The
whole story of the killing Of unarmed
prisoners of war by order of General
villa at Juarez, will be in the hands
OF President Wilson within forty
eight hours. DR.. William Bayard
Hale has sent word to Washington
that his report OF the entire negotia-
tion with Carranza, including
the explanation of Villas actions,
will be forthcoming. Whether be will
come here to make d verbal report,
OF has already started Il by mail, is
not known. 1t is considered certain,
however, that negotiations with Car
ranza are definitely at an end There
will be no change in the administra-
tons waiting policy. Huerta is to
be starved out, and only some unfore-
seen outrage will force President
Wilson's hand. Circumstantial stor-
les of ultimatums being presented to
Huerta, through O'Shaughnessy, and
Of the imminence of a complete sew
erance of the semblance Of diploma
tic relations now existing at Mexico
City, telegraphed from Mexico City,
are characterized by the President
and Secretary Of State Bryan, as un-
founded wild ''guesses."
They have their origin, officials here
believe, in the fact that O'Shaughnessy
Is, in constant communication with John
Lind at Vera Cruz and with the depart
ment here. All Of the messages exchang-
ed are in code and carefully protected
against leaks and are naturally the
cause OF much surmising, all OF which,
according to Secretary Bryan, is far
from the truth. Bryan reiterated that
no Instructions OF a contingent char

Mexico City unless handed his pass
ports by Huerta. or unless his. and the
lives of other Americans would be in
iured by remaining In the event OF
emergency O'Shaughnessy knows just
what would be expected of him as on
several occasions every contingency
possible has been gone into and covered
by instructions.
There was no explanation forthcom-
ing from the State Department to-
day regarding the action Of Great
Britain in sending three cruisers to
Vera Cruz Secretary Bryan said
that he had not been notified in ad-
vance that they we're coming. But
he refuses TO say whether there was
any significance in this in the face
Of the fact that France Germany and
Japan had first notified this govern
ment before ordering warships %
Mexican waters. il Is admitted that
the rear admiral commanding the
British squadron will outrank Ad-
miral Fletcher commanding the
American warships. although the lat
ter's command is ten times mors
powerful. But no complications are
looked for from this fact.
The suggestion that Admiral Dewey
be sent to assume command Of the
fleet in Eastern Mexican waters was
characterized ss absurd at tn navy
department. Dewey is on the active
list OF course, but his health would
hardly be sufficiently robust to with
stand the ardors Of active service. and
even If It was, the department sug-
gests that this time. there Is no
reason for relieving Fletcher

The complete text OF Presiden
Huerta's message to the Mexica

Department from Charge OShaugh

public in Mexico City last night an
printed in the morning papers in th
