VILLA BELIEVES BAUCH KILLED BY HIS ENEMIES Rebel General Declares Ameri- can Was Released At
 JuareZ. DEPL ORES
 JINGOISM IN CONGRESS Carranza's Prestige in United States Depends on Ben

 Washington, March 2--Asked w11eth- CT, in view of the new developments in Mexico, a change of policy was in tended by. the United States immedi- ately, President Wilson pointed out that a country of the size and power of the United States could afford to wait just as long as it pleased; tl1a1 nobody doubted it's power and nobody doubted that H1erta. was eventually to retire; that there need be no heEi- tation in forming the judgment that what the United States wished to ac- compIish in Mexico would be accom- plished but that those people who were in haste to have things done were forgetting that they would have to do them themseTves, that they would have to contribute brothers and
 
 wanted something done right away. If they were willing to wait, the presi- dent indicated, such a step might not be necessary

 BENTON CASE IMPORTANT
 A test of Carranzass attitude is in- voIved in connection with the ar- rangenents which the American gov ernment is seeking to make for an ex- animation of Benton's body at Chi hJa[h1la- The United States desires that British and American representa- tives shall view the corpse in com pany with physicians General Villa has acceded to the request. On the other hand, Carranza, has pointed out to the state department that he too must be consulted about foreign af- fairs.
 The Washington government now is consulting Carranza- If the latter permits the expedition to go to Chi huahua, he will be acQuiescing in the right Of the United States to make in q1iry about the welfare of British subjects. A flat refusal of the Amerf- can government's request for the ex- animation, it is believed, would rem der the situation acute.
