CONSUL RODGERS
IS INSTRUCTED

Washington, April 15--Secretary
Lansing today sent Consul Rodgers
in Mexico City detailed Instructions
with regard to General Carransa's
request for withdrawal OF American
troops. While he refused to announce
the character OF these directions. It
was learned authoritatively that Ian
sing informed Rodgers OF the admin
istration's willingness to discuss the
proposition with Mexican Ambassador
Arredondo, II was understood that
Rodgers was not instructed TO treat
with Carranza. but merely to inform
him OF Lansing's decision to receive
Arredondo's overtures.
Carranza's protocol proposals. now
held up. show that the de facto gov
ernment chief sought to limit the
American expedition to 1000 cavalry
men. who were not TO occupy towns
and who were to withdraw when their
object was attained. The state de-
partment eountered with . demand
that there be no limitation In the size
OF the expedition and sought the ac-
tual cooperation OF the dc facto
regime.

between Bavlspe valley and Casas

ston's reports. The flying men said
1t was evident the Mexicans had not
moved for days.
Though supplies are passing over
the Mexican Central railroad to Chi
huahua City, where brokers handle
them and pass the provisions on to
the troops, General Funston said:
"The rainy season is not far dis
tant and then roads south of Colum-
bus will be impassable. II the troops

Washington, April ia second
fight between Americans and resi-
dents OF Parral was reported today
in consular dispatches to I'll Paso
forwarded here. No details we're
given.
In General Funston's long code
message which was the subject OF o
midnight conference at the white
house between the president and
Secretary Baker. II is believed that
radical changes In the villa hunt
were recommended, Speculation as
to its contents ranged from requests
for more troops to taking over Mex
lean railways which are needed or
reiterating the necessity OF shifting
the base Of operations from Colum-
bus. The message presumably related
to Funston's order to protect troops
as a result OF the Parral incident.
II contained no news OF the Parral
clash. This Is the fourth day since
the encounter there. and no official
news has been received.
Secretary Lanslng's willingness to
treat with Ambassador Arredondo con-
corning the requested withdrawal may
mean that preliminary negotiations
will be opened today or next week.
While some officials said no change
in the Mexican policy was in sight,
others believe the negotiations might
result in withdrawal OF American
troops.
