President Wilson Is Determined
Not to Be Stairpeded.
MUST RUN DOWN MURDERERS
Mexican De Facto Government to Be
Allowed Fair Chance to Cap
ture SIayers Of Americans.

| Washington, Jan. 15.-General Car.
rama and the de facto government of
Mexico are to be given full opportu-
nifty, without Intervention from the
United States, to run to earth the
| mrrderers of American citizens at
Santa Ysabel and to demonstrate abil-
ity to restore order and protect for
eign rights in the southern republic.
This was the outstanding fact here
after meeting Of the cabinet. a con-
ference between President Wilson and
Chairman Stone of the senate foreign
relations committee and another stir.
ring debate in the senate chamber.
The president, supported by his
cabinet and the Democratic leaders in
congress, is declared to be determined
that the American government shall
not be stampeded by war talk and
cries of vengeance into rushing an
army across the Rio Grande to de.
stroy in it's infancy the de facto gov
eminent, which the United States with
the cooperation of Pan-American ma
lions aided in establishing after the
Mexican nation had been torn by
revolution for years.
Resolution Directs Intervention.
In the senate administration lead
ers firmly outlined the position Of the
government in the face of denuncia-
ton from the Republican side and an
other resolution directing interven-
ton, proposed by Senator Works of
California.
At the state department officials
were vigilant in their watch over the
situation awaiting official word from
General Carranza in reply to the de-
mand upon him to seek out and pun
ish the bandit murderers.
Measures to facilitate the removal
of Americans from districts where
their lives might be endangered were
discussed by department officials with
Mr.. Arredondo, who later advised
General Carranza by telegraph that
every assistance be given such Ameri-
cans and escorts provided to accom-
pany them into cities where strong
garrisons are maintained. He went
farther than the state department
suggested, recommending that in cases
where foreigners objected to leaving
that they be forcibly removed to
points of safety.

Rome, Jan. 15.-Montenegro and
Austria have agreed to an armistice.
This, it is believed here, virtually
eliminates Montenegro from the war.
Formal negotiations for the surrender
of the half-starved, poorly equipped
little Montenegrin army are expected
to begin at once, and when they are
completed Austria probably will be
the ruler in Montenegro and will have
made more secure her power in the
Adriatic sea.
The armistice was agreed to by
King Nicholas, the aged Montenegro
ruler, after the Austrians had cap
tured Mount Lovcen, the mountain
peak which dominates Cettinje, the
capital of Montenegro.
The aged king wept as he signed
the armistice.
No definite period has been set for
the continuation of the armistice, but
it is believed possible that Montene-
gro, the first of the allied countries
to strike her colors to the Austro-
Germans, will arrange tentative peace
terms before the end of the month.
The significance of Austria's victory
in Montenegro does not lie in the
small territorial acquisition, Monte
negro having even smaller area
than Serbia, but in Montenegro's
Adriatic sea front
Montenegro lies alongside Cattaro,
Austria's main Adriatic naval station,
where the Austrian fleet now is mobi-
lized.
This further extension Of Austria's
Adriatic front makes the position at
Cattaro more secure and is big
step toward Austria's ambition to
make the Adriatic an Austrian sea
and thus check Italy's efforts to make
it an Italian sea.
