WARRINGTON. June i3.-It was indi-
Gated tonight that neither the villa
nor the Carranxa statement Of position.
made known yesterday. affords any occa-
sior for further action by this Govern
ment In reference to Mexico at this
time.
Though In oficial quarters little
promise Of better things in Mexico is
seen there Is for the present a deter
mination to give the Mexicans plenty
CT opportunity to conform to the Presi-
dents summons TO them to get together.
Not until Il has appeared that they are
wholly unable to do this will there be,
in all probability. any further steps on
the part OF the Administration
Villas statement Ia not yet oficially
before the State Department. Advices
from villa territory have said that II
will be brought to Washington by
Manuel Bonill. one Of the Generals
aids. II 10 Villas desire that II be com
m%unicated directly to the President, but
II was indicated tonight that his mes
senger will be received in no higher
quarter than the office at the State
Department entrusted with the handling
OF Mexican AFFAIRS.
Carranxa's attitude is regarded az
promising even less Ia that of villa
who Is understood to nave offered tc
compromise. C%arranza's proclamation IL
taken to mean that he will make no con.
C~essions either to the United States or to
Villa that both will either have to take
him or overthrow him.
Carranza's attitude would be viewed
more favorably here IL II were believed
that his claims to sovereignty ovei
practically all Mexico are true in fact
the United States would be only toe
pleased II some one in Mexico did con
troll the greater part of the country.
While Villas promises have not thu
value in Washington that was accorded
TO them a year ago. II still seems likely
that his offer to compromise with Car
rama will receive a certain amount OF
moral support here. 1t is generally be-
lieved that villa has placed a better
face on his position than has Car
