ASKS UNITED STATES TO SUP. PORT HIM IN A NEW REVOLU-
 TON IN MEXICO.
THINKS 5 TIMES AND OUT
Might Work if a Third Rebellion Was Started in Mexico Under His Lead ership-Makes Request of a Con gressional Committee.

Washington. March 4-Althoueb Great Britain's reluctance to press the Benton case at this time has made the Mexican situation less acute. there are several aspects which it is almost certain Twill lead to spirited debate in the senate in few days. It be- came known tonight that data con cerning the number of foreigners kill. ed in Mexico since armed revolution began is being gathered by the state department for Senator Shively, rank ing member of the foreign relations committee, who is expected to pre- sent official records about conditions in the southern republic. It was rc ported that Senator Fall of New Mex icO would open the debate, urging a change of policy
 Incidentally. the New Mexico sem ator today presented Pedro Del Vilar and Cecilio Ocon to the foreign rela- tions committee. Vilar and OCOn rep resent the political interests of Felix Diaz Members of the committee were frankly amazed when the MeXicans sought the moral support of the Unit ed States for a movement to bring about peace ia MeXic- by another rev olution headed by DiaZ The commit tee had no idea, it is said, of the cX- act purpose of their visit. other than that they wished to present informa- tion about the situation in Mexico. Members of the committee flatly stat ed that the United States could not recognize any such movement. Nilar and OcOn severely arraigned Huerta as corrupt and CarranZa and Villa as bandits and argued that Feiix Diaz had a lost of loyal Mexican citizens be- hind him who would rush to his sup port and establish a real government Tn Mexico They sought a promise from the American government that 1t would uphold Diaz and recognize him if the counter revolution succeed ed Several members of the commit tee Characterized the proposition as pTeposterous.
 The committee is taking active in- terest in the Mexican embroglio and intends to get all possible nforma. tion so it may be prepared for any situation that may arise, especially if the administration should determine on a change of policy. The reported murder of two Amerigan citizens, Gustav Bauch, by colstitutionaists and Clemente Nergara, by Mexican federals, is as yet unexplained Gen. Carranza's promised inquiry into the disappearance of the American Bauch has not materialized, while the liner ta government has failed to clear up the mystery surrounding the alleged kidnaping and killing of Nergara.
 The request made by Gcv Colquitt of Texas on the federal governor of Nuevo Leon for the eXtraditiol of those responsible for the Kidnapping of Vergara occasicned much discus sion in official circles here The Tex as governor had asked the state de- partment what it considered the le- gally constituted government in north ern Mexico, for by a special treaty with Mexico, eXtradtion proceedings can be carried Cn between governors in adjoining border states without reference to the American state de- partment
 Secretary Bryan suggested to Col quitt that he might ask for the extra dition of the offenders from the governor of Neuyo LeCn.' leaving it to the Texas governor to determine who that individual was. The extra dition had been asked for on the chargea of horse stealing State de- partment officials say jhat if extra dited the offenders could not be tried for murder, because Vergara was slain on Mexican soil.
 al ,1 efo ftt- ,f lO mission of American and British rep. resentatives who were to have exam ined Benton's body, Secretary Bryan said the matter was in statu quo He added that confirmation had been received by the state department from American Consul Simpich of the ap- pointment by Gen. Carranza of a spe- cial commission to proceed to Chihua- lua to investigate Beaton's death. 1t is considered probable that the com mission will await the outcome of the new inquiry.
 Huerta Grows Aggressive.
 Mexico City, March 4.-Talkiag for the first time today to few newly arrived newspaper correspondents President Huerta reiterated that he has an army of 2500OO men, with which he is determined to subjugate or exterminate the rebels. He added that he was about ready to begin the construction along the railroad of ,000 blockhouses. about mile and half apart, in each of which would be placed ten men. Orders already had been given for barbed wire, ne said, and this would be strung along
