washington, D. C., July 16- - The
United States today instructed Ameri-
can Consul Silliman at SaltillU ~ in

fuI agreement with the Carbajal gov
sument for the transfer of power at
Mexico City recognition will be extend

Should Carranza refuse to complete

nv Diplomatic means and insist on fore
ible entry into Mexico City recognition
will be deferred until there is a legal
election.
American forces are not to be with
drawn from Vera Cruz until a govern
ment is recognized. This determine
ton was reached by President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan after the view
points Of the South American mediators
we're laid before them. Under the
terms OF the protocol signed at Niagara
Falls the United States, Argentina,
Brazil and Chile went on record as
promising recognition to the govern
nent set up by any agreement between
the two Mexican factions. To vitalize
that protocol the Washington govern
nent and mediators are now bending
their efforts.
Villa May Make Trouble.
The only cloud on the horizon of
peace is the uncertainty OF Villas atti-
tude. There is reliable information
that villa is concentrating his forces
IN Chihuahua and northern Mexico to
make a vigorous demand on CarTanza.
Il is reported that when conference of
generals is called in Mexico City after
Czrranza enters, Villa adherents may
attempt to substitute another first
chief for CarranZa. For that reason
oonstitutionalists with Carranza sym
psthies are working hard to obtain
recognition for the Carranza govern
ment. so an embargo en- arms may be
sharply enforced along the border and
any counter revolutions nipped in the
bud. -
Secretary Garrison has ordered Of
encers on the border TO refrain from
PARTICIPATING in any meeting or con-
fsrences with Mexican officers of any
faction.
