CARRANzA IS ADVISED
TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
REBEL CHIEF WILL RISK ALL IF
HE FORCES WAR WITH
AMERICA.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-While
the attention of the United States
government for the most part yester-
day was concentrated on restoring or
der at Vera Cruz and expediting the
departure of Americans from all parts
of Mexico, a watchful eye was trained
on the trans-continental boundary be-
tween Mexico and the United states
for signs of hostility from constitu-
tionalists.
President Wilson and his cabinet
had a long meeting, after which op-
timism was conspicuously apparent
both in their demeanor and in for
NAL discussion OF the situation.
Villas Attitude Encourages.
There was no particular develop
ment to which the feeling of hopeful
ness that real war would be averted
could be traced, but General Villas
friendly pronouncement. it was ad-
mitted, had impressed many officials
here with the possibility that the con-
stitutionalists would remain neutral
while the American government
sought reparation from Huerta.
Other officials were not so sanguine
and the army moved with precision to
protect the American boundary and
reinforce the expeditionary forces OF
marines and bluejackets at Vera Cruz
Conferences at the state department
between Secretary Bryan and repre-
sentatives of the Mexican constitution.
alist resulted in the dispatch to Gen.
eral Carranza of telegram by the
letter, strongly advising him to re-
main neutral and assuring him that
the American government intended
to withdraw it's forces from Mexico
had been made for the offenses COM
mitted by Huerta.
Carranza Told He Risks All.
The advice given Carranzza here
was that by assuming hostile attitude
| he would draw all Mexico into war;
Huerta would be perpetuated and the
constitutionalists' cause lost in the
melee.
| Q Signs of uneasiness abroad because
the United States, although not hav'
| ing declared a blockade or a state o.
war, is exercising jurisdiction at Vera
Cruz between measures short o.
war began to be apparent yesterday
Cabinet officials said no attemp
would be made to interfere with th'
regular channels of commerce any
where, cargoes being allowed to lant
at all points. Munitions of war alon'
would be held at the Vera Cruz Gus
| tomshouse if landed.
