 why" he said, snlilingly, as he threw an arm about the broad sheul- ders of the government representa- tive, all Europe would laugh at us if we went to war with you. They would say that little drunSard Huerta has drawn them into a tangle at last"
 Villa said he was not consulted in the drafting of the Carranza note transmitted to Secretary Bryan last night, and which was regarded aS somewhat hostile in tone.
 The rebel loader told Carothers, who reported the interview to the state de- pdrtnent tonight, that one of the chief reasons he came to Juarez was to show the American people that his attitude was friendly and that he did not fear to trust himself on the border without a military escort behind him.
 Carothers took supper with Villa and canyassed the situation thorough ly while doing justice ot an American meal, salad, beef and potatoes.
 Honest said the rebel general be- tween mouthfuls. T hope the A1neri-' carss bottle up Vera Cruz so tight they can't even get water into it. Your admiral is doing something it would have taken us a long time to accom- pliSh, if we could have accomplished it at alb
 The general brought with him a hun- dred woven rugs of soft lambs wool as & present for General Scott, who recently left Fort Bliss to become as- Sistant chief of staff at Washington. Carothers promised to forward the gift along with Villas congratulations to the recipient of the pronaotion.
 Villa said he had arranged with all foreigners, except Spaniards, to ship out their cotton from Torreon on pay ing war tax, to which the foreigners had agreed. He said Spanish cotton was not included in the arrangement, having been confiscated. Theer are 75,000 bales there, valued at s50,000.

WASHINGTON DIGEST OF
 MEXICAN ADVANCEMENT.
Wilson Sends Stand Pat" Reply to Carranza-Embareo on Arms Has Been Restored.

Washington, April 23.-Irnited States troops moved tonight to reinrorce the American navy at Vera Cruz; the en- bargo on arms into Mexico was for maily restored. and troops were order ed to the Mexican border, primarily to relieve uneasiness among border resi- dents, but also as precaLtion against hostile military operations along the international line.
 Secretary Garrison announced that a brigade of infantry and some artillery under Brigadier General Frederick Funston has been ordered to embark on the four army transports at Gal weston for Vera Cruz to support the expeditionary forces of marines and bluejackets there. The chance that General Maas. the federal general, might make a return attack on Vera Cruz with endorsements and the pos sible necessity of forward movement toward Mexico City to protect fleeing Americans and ths Vera Cruz railroad were the underlying reasons for the military movement.
 The restoration of the embargo on arms was officially announced after the announcement of General Carran-

 AGAINST UNITED STATES

considered as it's friend in crisis a South American nation emphasized Pan-American solidarity. It was the first time that a South American country has ever been asked to act in such capacity for the United States. France represented America in Spain. In the present case France stood ready to give similar services and the united States took advantage of that rcadi- ness with a request that the Amer ican consulates be taken over ar all points where Brazil did not have con- su1s, to which France compiled.
 Charge Algara asked for his pass ports only a few hours after Hews reached Washington that Charge O'Shaughnessy had received his safe conduct. Algara has for several days expected to leave here and made his preparations to leave tonight for Cam ada It was recalled that the Spanish minister to the United States went to Montreal when war was declared.
 It was announced that the affairs of the embassy had been entrusted to the French ambassador.
 Confident of O'Shaughnessys Safety.
 President Wilson told callers he was confident Charge O'Shaughnessy would get to Vera Cruz safely. The latest word from him said he would leave uation in Mexico City is extremely del- icate, according to private advices re- ceived here. Fears of mob violence and demonstrations against Americans are felt by. the Washington govern ment and if possible no further steps likely to incite the Mexican populace or precipitate American outbreaks will be taken.
 The president in the course of ths day talked of the Mexican situation frankly with his callers. He referred to the crises as very serious and thought 1t was his duty, he said, te conf1ne his announcements to facts. re- serving information about cortem- plated steps until plans matured. MT. Wilson does not regard the pres ent situation as a state of war and holds that so far as his authority is concerned. only acts of reprisals have been undertaken.
