WATTS ON GEN.. CARRANzi.
WASHINGTON IN DARK AS TO
REBEL LEADERS, PLANS.
His intentions VIII Have Much to Do
With Our Military Opera
tons In Mexico.

Washington, April 25.-President
Wilson told Chairman Fitzgerald of
the house committee on a~ppropria-
tons. who had come to the White
House to learn if any war funds were
needed, that no appropriation was re-
Quired for the present"
The president wished it to be i'm
pressed generally that the United
States had not adopted a threatening
attitude toward the constitutionalists
in Mexico, but merely that it expected
them to remain neutral while this gov
eminent continued to seek reparation
from the Huerta government for the
indignities offered by the Huerta au-
thorities.
Future steps are dependent upon a
more definite announcement of the in
tentions of Gen. Carranza.
President Wilson and his advisers
anxiously awaited word OF the safe
arrival of Charge d'Affaires Nelson
0'Shaughnessy at Vera Cruz. He left
Mexico City under special Mexican
guard and Admiral Badger had been
ordered to give conduct to his train
through the American lines.
What effect the movement of land
troops to Vera Cruz and to the Mex
lean border, coupled with the renewal
of the embargo on the shipment of
munitions of war into Mexico will
have on the attitude of the constitu-
tionalists, was n of the chief ques-
tons which confronted the Washing
ton administration.
1t was realized that upon the atti
tude of the constitutionalist leader,
Gen. Carranza, to q great extent
hinged the extent of American mill
tary operations in Mexico.
