GEN. VILLA REPEATS
 NEUTRALITY DECLARATION
Says csrranza Message Was Misun
 derstood-FriendIy to United States.

Fl Paso, Texas April 24-The in- ternational political situation cleared greatly today as affecting the status of the rebel government and that of the United States. This city and Ju- arez were perfectly quiet. A long note from Secretary Bryan to Carranza was transmitted through Juarez to Chi huahua tonight
 General Francisco Villa, who arrived at Juarez yesterday, repeated his dec laration that he would not be drawn into a war with the United States, particularly as that would serve to draw the Huerta chestnuts out of the fire. He repeated these assertions to George c. CarotherS, special agent of the state department and to news paper men and many other visitors. To J. T. McClammy. his cattle agent on this side Of the river, he said:
 Its that little drunkard Huerta s fight; let him fight it. I wish I had ten million cartridges right now: I'd march into Mexico City without a stop"
 Villa said Carranza's note had been misunderstood, and that the first chief was as friendly as Villa himself to the United States. Robert " Pes queira and other Carranza represen- tatives here said an idiomatic expres- sion in common use in Mexico was lit erally interpreted in the translation
Norwich bulletin., 1914-04-25

of Carranza's note to Secretary Bryan last Wednesday,.
 The translation made Carranza say that he had desired to avoid war with the United States until" today.
 As a matter of fact the expression meant that although his friend. the United States, had done a wrongful act and had thereby injured friend (Carranza), he desired to avoid war and always would desire to avoid it, explained PeSquiera-
 Villa frankly took the position that he would like to avail himself of what is in effect aid from the United States forces to prosecute his campaign. His wish for ten million cartridges, how ever, could not be grattffed today as the embargo was on again and nVe rapid firerS which were brought to the customs house were turned back. Villa was given to understand that the embargo was temporary and he said that he acquiesced in any meas ures taken to relieve the strain of present relations.
 Traffic to Juarez was again closed tonight In. Fl Paso the troops re- mained in the city, reinforced by the arrival of Battery E of the Third field artillery from San Antonio, but there was a visible reduction in the temper ature of the political atmosphere.
 Pesqueira is authority for the state ment that the federal commander at Guaymas, General Tellez, who offered to join with the rebels in that district against the United States is not the only federal who has made similar overtures and been contemptuousIy re- buffed He said a similar proposition was made by the Huerta commander

LONDON COMM ENT
 ON WILSON ACTION
While Severely critieising 1t, Aos<nowi-
 edges It Was Justifiabie.

London, April 24.-While acknowl- edging that on broad grounds the ac- ton of the American government toward Mexico is justified, the Nation today severely criticizes President Wilson for what 1t terms his giving as a pretext for such action the re- fusal by President Huerta to apologize in act and form as prescribed, for the brief detention Of American bluejack- cts in Tampico.
 By singling out this incident," says the Nation as an excuse for an action which amounts to war MT. Wilson has done more to lower the standard of international morality than all his fine ufterances in the past have done to raise 1t. statesman who interfereS to restore order may argue that at some cest of lives and treasure he Is putting an end to ifitoierable violence and cruelty. but the Statesman who sacrifices lives because some cere- moniaI detail is lacking in the ritual of an apology is behaving with levity unworthy of a civilized ruler This deliherate and needless raising of a point of honor is a lapse into bar barrie morals which would be more natural in some Prussian colonel in an Alsatian garrison than in a human itarian president of a civilized repub- lie"

AMERICANS THREATENED
 WITH EXECUTION.
Held as Prisoners Between Vera Cruz
 and Mexico City.

Vera Cruz, April 24.-Seven Ameri- cans, prisoners of Mexican soldiers, are being held at Cordeba or Orizaba, on the line of the Mexican railroad. be- tween here and the capital, four of whom at least are threatened with execution, according to authentic in- formation received here tonight. Four of the Americans were taken from a train on the Vera CruZ-1sthmus line at Terra Blanca and further along at Motzolongo station three other Ame.i- cans and an Englishman were seized. Those captured at Terra Blanca are W. A. Mangan, superintendent of tine railroad: Engineer Elliott and Conduc- tors Riley and Hart. At Motozolongo, Edward Weunch, his son Sidney, A. M Thomas snd Mir Boyd, an Englishman, were arrested by the federals.
 The belief that the federals intended to execute at least four of the prison CTS was gained fro mthe conversation of the soldiers who captured them which was overheard by passengers on the train. The prisoners were taken to Cordoba and, it is believed, later were transferred to Orizaba, a point nearer the capital
 Eighteen Americans are still in Tierra Blanca among them J. O. Cock,
