UNITED STATES WATTS
FOR CARRANZA REPORT
For the Present There Is a Suspension of
Activity by the Washington
Government.

Washington, d. G., March 5.-The APP
parent hull on the part of the United
States in pursuing an inquiry into the
death of William s. Benton and the dis
appearance of Gustav Baueh in Mexico
Is only temporary, according to those
well-nformed on the intentions of the
Washington administration.
The United States, it was explained
to-day, is merely awaiting the outcome
OF the investigation instituted by Cen
eral Carranza himself. 0utwardly it was
apparent that the determination of Car
rama to supply information about the
Benton case, although technically deny
ing the right Of the United States to
ask for Ii, was favorably received here,
and his prompt ordering Of an inquiry
into the Bauch case likewise was wei.
coined.
1t became known last night that data
concerning the number OF foreigners
killed in Mexico since armed revolution
began there is being gathered by the
state department for Senator Shively.

committee, who Is expected to present
official records about conditions in the
southern republic
1t was reported that Senator Fall of
New Mexico would open the debate with
a speech, pointing to conditions in Mex

The committee had no idea it is said,
as to the exact purpose of their visit,
other than they wished to present in
formation about the situation in Mexico
Members of the committee fatty stat
ed that the United States could not rec
ognize any such movement. Villar and
Ocon severely arraigned Huerta as cor
rupt and Carranza and villa as ban
dts, and argued that Felix Diaz had
host of loyal Mexican citizens behind
him who would rush to his support to
establish real government in Mexico.
They wanted to get promise, if posi-
bic, from the American government that
it would uphold Diaz and recognize him
if counter-revolution succeeded. Sew
eral members of the committee charae-
terized the proposition as preposterous.
The committee is taking a most active
interest in the Mexican imbroglio and
intends to get all the information pos.
sible so that it may be prepared for any
situation that may arise, especially if
the administration should determine on
any change of policy
The reported murder of two American
Bauch, by Constitu-
tionalists, and Clemente Vergara, by
