Ell PASO, Texas, May 9.-The Mex
lean situation was admittedly grave
today following reports that General
Obregon issued an ultinlatum to Gen
eral Scott in last nights futile con-
ference, demanding withdrawal of
the American expedition and threat
ening an attack by Carranzistas as
an alternative. Funston was deeply
concerned over the sudden tack de-
veIopments have taken, but declined
to comment on the reported ulti-
matum.
Il can say nothing; we are pledged
to secrecy" he said.
Funston was planning to return
today to San Antonio to direct the

was unable to reinforce the battalion
now heading south.
1--WE have no more men to send" he
said, despairingly.
The country into which the men
must penetrate is the most difficult
in northern Mexico. Little water or
forage is to be had enroute and the
chances of catching the bandits under
the handicap were believed small.
The country along both sides of the
border has long been the refuge of
desperate characters from both Mex
leo and the United States. The Big
Bend country has been to the bad
man Of Texas and northern Mexico
what the Bad Lands of the north
were to the desperadoes years ago.
Funston felt secure regarding Per
shing's expedition. He believes they
will be able to take care Of them
selves. Their supplies are ample and
their line Of communication has been
developed to high point of efficiency.
Both Scott and Obregon submitted
long reports to their governments fol-
lowing last nights meeting.

was SO exhausted that he slipped
from a raft and was lost before the

that the nine were lost. The steamer
