WASHINGTON, March 17.-That
the general Mexican situation is ex-
cellent was the report made to aPres't
Wilson and the cabinet by Sec'y of
War Newton u. Baker today. He
presented the detailed reports from
Gen. Funston. which showed the
progress made by the punitive ex-
petition and the details OF the
troop movements. In addition he
stated that the rumors of impend-
ing trouble from Carranzista forces
were utterly without foundation. All
of the Carranza commanders on the
border are doing everything possible
to aid the Americans, the secretary
said
AT the same time the cabinet con-
sidered individual reports from a
dozen state department representa-
tives at various points in interior
Mexico. These reports agreed that
Carranza was maintaining his con-
troll Of the general situation and that
the discipline of his army was per-
feet.
1t also was shown that Carranza
forces have been distributed across
the general trails that Villa might
be expected to follow on his way
