In Cabinet Meeting.

These phases of the situation and
Carranza's attitude occupied much Of
the time of the cabinet meeting. Some
administration officials expressed the
opinion that while Carranza may not
have intended to be unfriendly to the
United States in denying the right
of the government to make inquiries
about foreign subjects, he had produced
an embarrassing situation. Failure 10
comply with the American viewpoint
in this case, it was agreed, might
lead to serious complications, as 9th
er nations might not be as tolerant
as Great Britain. Cabinet members
showed their agreement with the pres
ident that every peaceful means first
should be tried TO settle the Mexican
question before there is resort TO arm
ed Intervention. There is apparent
however, a stiffening in the American
policy and frmness which is inter

ST|FFENS
TOWARDS MEXICO
COMPLETE PROBE 10 AMERICAN
DEMAND. BRYAN REQUESTS
PROTECTION FOR sPAklARDS.

Washington, March 3.-While defl-
mite information was lacking as to
the fate of Gustav Bauch, the Ameri'
can citizen supposed to have been
killed by the constitutionalists, and
Clemente Vergara, another American
reported murdered by Mexican feder-
ais. It is certain there will be no let
up in the efforts of the American gov
ernment to obtain complete investiga-
tions.
There were few dispatches of i'm
portance to the state department from
Mexico Tuesday. Word was being
awaited from General Carranza as to
whether he would persist in his atti'
tude denying the right Of the United
States to inquire about British sub
ject, which halted the expedition OF
commissioners who were to examine
Benton's body.
Carranza's friends here have been
hhC
chief advising a change in his posi-
tion, but no word had been received
by them up to late Tuesday from
Carranza at Nogales.
That the United States again may
communicate with Carranza seeking
protection for Spanish citizens, was
intimated by Secretary Bryan Tues
day. Representation have been made
to the United States on behalf of q
Spaniard named Ruiz and it is likely
the American government will direct
inquiries to Carranza concerning him
Though there have been intimations
in press dispatches that the same
answer would be extended to inquiries
about Spanish subjects, as was giver
about the Benton case, the determine
tion of the American government tC
continue to act for other nations has
no been altered.
