CABINET AGAIN TAKES
UP MEXICAN SITUATION
Discuss Course to Be Taken if
BeIIigerentS Fire Across
the River.

WASHINGTON. March S0.-With
three batteries of the third artillery
enroute TO Brownsville, Texas. PreS't
Wilson and his cabinet today took up
the threatening situation again created
along the Mexican border by the
battle at Matamoras.
The course this government viii
take should the Mexican belligerents
ignore the warning not to fire across
the river into Brownsville, was dis
cussed. No statement was made as to
what action will be taken but the be-
lief prevailed that the administration
will wait for developments before
making any further move.
Warnings already have been served
on the Carranza and Villa command
ers that American life and property
must not be exposed to danger by
reckless firing toward the border and
the agencies here of the factions have
given assurances that United States
territory will be respected.
Mai. Gen. Funston, commanding
the American troops along the border,
has gone to Brownsville TO take per-
sonal charge of the troops there He
however, has no authority further
than to repeat the warning to the
Mexicans and cannot return any
Mexican shots that may come over the
Rio Grande except on specific orders
from Washington. Military officials
generally support the apprehension
of the citizens of Brownsville that
when the Villa artillery is brought
into action at Matamoras. shells will
fall on the town and imperil the lives
OF the citizens. In such an event.
force may be necessary by the United
States.
