 as inability on the part of the con- stitutionalists at least to prevent in ternatiOnal complications is receiving deep consideration by high admins tration officials.
 It has developed that the Ameri can government is informally looking to Gen. Nenustinna Carranza is ti- tular head of the rebels movement to clarify the situation in connection with the Benton killing. The news that Luis Cabrera was at Juarez con ferring with Villas friends, urging immediate delivery of the body for examination, was received with satis- faction by the state department Ba- brera is understood to be an ennis sary from Carranza and it is said the state department on previous occas- ions has benefited by his activities for protection of foreigners.
 Should CaTranza's inhuence with Villa be unayailing in the present in stance, it is admitted by many off, cials that the American government will regard the problem in northern Mexico as having developed a much more serious aspect than before.
 Another aspect of the situation en- gazing attention here is the sending to Mexico City of armed legation guards of foreign nations. The pos sibility of complications over their presence in case of overt acts or dis turbances in Mexico City is being taken into consideration.
 While the suggestion of sending a guard for the American embassy, was rejected as unnecessary two weeks ago, it now is being discussed with seriousness.
 Bryan Urging More Delay.
 Secretary Bryan took the senate committee into his confidence on the Mexican situation in general and the Benton execution in particular and also discussed the foreign relation of the nation as pertaining to other countries.
 He told the committee that the position of the United States in this regard was little improved, averring that ratification of the arbitration treaties last week had been effective in establishing confidence among the powers.
 The committee wanted to learn the
  lation to Mexico and Secretary BryanH answered frankly all the questions that the policy of the government to ward Mexico was receiving loyal sup port from foreign nations and read to the committee several communlca tions on the subject from other pow CTS. He called attention to the speech in the house of commons the other day by Sir Tdward Grey the British foreign minister after the execution of Benton and declared that it was an evidence of the general satisfaction existing in other lands with regards
 attitude of the United States toward Mexico.
 The secretary was not reserved in discussing the facts about Mexican conditions. He answered to the best of his ability based on the govern ments information all questions re- lating to the physical and financial strength of the contending Mexican forces. Many of the senators dis played great interest in the character of the rebel leaders and the strength of the constitutionalist movement
 The question of the United States i recognizing the beligerency of the | rebels was dwelt upon, the general | opinion prevailing being that the | time for such a diplomatic move on | the part of the United States had not [ arrived
 Secretary Bryan urged that the sen ate take no action on the Benton case until the state departments investi- a dnh agreed that agita' .0n at this time would be inadvisable until all the facts had been secured.
 MT. Bryan appeared before the com mittee to discuss the peace treaties he is negotiating with foreign govern ments in particularly the treaty re- gently signed with Denmark, N.ch contains a liberal arbitration proyis- ion excepting not even questions in- volving natonal honor. Many of the committee vigorously oppose this Senator Lodge called attention to the fact that Denmark has possessions in the Danish West Indies and that internal complications might arise under the pending treaty should Denmark seek to dispose of these islands.
 Treaties which extend the principle of arbitration beyond the terms of the general arbitrations. it was indi- cated will not receive enthusiastic support in the senate at this time.
 At the request of Secretary Bryan, Senator Simmons introduced a res olution to provide funds for the trans portation and care of Mexican sold iers and refugees interned in the United States.
