REALIZES THE GRAVITY
OF MEXICAN SITUATION
Wilson Sees Delicacy of Problem
Which ConfrOnts the United
States.

Washington, March president
Wilson revealed to those who discuss
ed Mexican affairs with him today that
he fully realizes the gravity Of the
situation resulting from the killing OF
william S. Benton, British subject,
the reported murder of Gustav Bauch
and Clemente Vergara, American cit
liens, and Gen. Carranza's denial OF
the right of the United States to look
after the interests Of foreigners gen
orally in Mexico. The president spoke
deploringly of armed intervention, but
at the same time pointedly referred
to.tne size and power of country like
the United States as being sufficient
warrant for a calm and patient course,
while compliance with the American
demands was being sought. Callers
got the impression from the president
that he was determined to try every
peaceful means at his disposal to solve
the Mexican problem, but that he real
lied certain eventualities might mean
a drastic course. He spoke with firm
ness that showed his determination
not to be stampeded into action by
radical speeches in congress, but with
mint that when the necessity arose.
the American government could be
expected to move decisivelg and eff
fectively.
Much Depends on England.
Upon Great Britian's attitude to-
wards the Benton case depends large
ly the extent to which the United
States will become involved. Should
England show inclination to let the
Benton case await final adjudication
at time when a firm government is
established in Mexico the United
States will not feel called upon to
challenge Gen. Carranza' specific re-
fusal to supply the Washington ad-
ministration with information about
Benton's death.
Representations have been made to

CARRANZA DECLARES
HE IS SUPREME HEAD
Asserts That He is Chief and Must Be
Consulted First in Regard to All
Matters of Foreign Relations.

Nogales, Mex, March 2.-Gen
Venustiano Carranza, supreme chief
of the constitutioGalists, today up
held the action of Gen Villa in nalt-
ing the commission investigating the
death of the British subject, William
S. Benton.
He took the stand that requests
for any information regarding Ben
toms death should come to him as
directing head of the revolution
through the diplomatic agents Of
Great Britain. This had been eX-
planned as his stand in the matter in
the last communication to the State
department at Washington which had
asked and been refused information
about the Benton case.
in a statement issued by Ysador
Fabela, acting secretary of foreign
relations, Gen. Carranza's stand was
given as follows:
Ordered to Keep OH.
Gen. Villa has received orders
from Mr.. Carraza not to deal in bus
mess of an international character.
In view of this order, Gen. Villa sue
pended all negotiations with the
American and English representatives
and suspended the pass for the COM
mission to go from Juarez to view
the body of Benton.
The Benton incident held all the
attention of the constitutionalists
commander-in-chief during the day,
For the first time ne summoned the
entire membership of his provisional
cabinet to consider the matter. 1t
was understood that Carranza's pre-
vious stand in the Benton affair had
been taken without discussion before
the entire cabinet, although some of
his individual advisers had been con-
suited.
Difference of Opinions.
1t was said that there was a di-
versity of opinion in regard to the
halting of the Benton investigation
commission at El Paso. Gen. Car
rama issued no statement throwing
any new light on the matter.
Translations of the Associated
Press dispatches from Washington
dealing with the attitude of the Will
son administration were read with
much interest.
1t was said that no answer had
been received from the State depart
ment at Washington to the last note
sent through Frederick Simpich, con-
sui at Nogales.
Gen. Alvaro obrengon, commander
of the northwestern military zone, left
tonight for Hermosillo.
It has been announced he will ac-
company Gen. Carranza into Chihua-
hua. which State is included in OBJ
regons command. obregon, it was
said, would conduct an expedition
along the west coast to the South.

through American Consul Simpich at
Nogales and on their outcome de-
pends whether or not the expedition
which had planned to go to Chihuahua
from Juarez yesterday, to examine
Bentons body, will carry out its mis-
sion.
The Washington administration,
however. is taking it for granted that
arrangements authorized by Gen.
Villa for the departure of the COM
mission to Chihuahua soon will be ap-
proved by Carranza.
Bryan Says Little.
eve are waiting for the details to
be completed" said Secretary Bryan.
II was his only comment.
Administration officials realize that
in not communicating first with Car
rama they have offended his personal
dignity, and they hope to overcome
this by consulting him now, impress
ing upon the constitutionalist chief,
incidentally, that the American gov
ernment does not think formalities
ought to stand in the way of obtain
ing proper protection for foreigners.
Gen. Carranza's declaration that
foreign governments should address
him about the welfare of their sub
jects led to a visit TO Secretary Bryan
today by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British ambassador, and Senor Riano,
, the Spanish ambassador. Both Spain
and England have recognized the HUI
erta government and have been look
ing to the United States to act for
them in northern Mexico. There is
every indication that this course will
be continued and it is clearly estab-
lished that Carranza's manoeuvre will
not lead the British government into
any recognition or other dealing with
| him
