Ell Paso, Tex, May 3.-Advices from
Mexico City and Washington are
awaited today to set the seal of ap-
that is understood to have been
reached at tho informal conference be-
tween Gen. Alvaro Obregon, minister
Of war Of the defacto government, and
Maj. Gen. Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff
of the U. 8. army.
The conference was not ended until
after midnight and the two conferees
emerged from the meeting place in
rare good humor. Gen. Scott went
Immediately to his private car and
arranged for the dispatch of a coded
message to Washington giving details
of the understandings that had been
effected.
This report is not expected to reach
the secretary of war until late today
and it's consideration probably, will de-
lay the answer to Gen. Scott until
Thursday. A similar report is being
sent First Chief Carranza. 1t is
thought the reply of the de facto gov
ernment will not reach here until after
Washington answers.
Neither Gen. Scott nor Gen. Obregon
would talk of the deliberations; in
fact they agree to maintain strict 81
lence pending the next step in the ne
gotiations. 1t has been suggested that
another formal conference here may
now be regarded as unnecessary and
that Mexico City and Washington will
say the Anal word in the settlement Of
the military questions that have arisen
out OF the drive of the American
troops into Mexican territory

NOTE Is READY.

Berlin, May s.-(By wireless to The
Associated Press via sayville)-The
draft of tho German reply to the
American note has been finished. The
reply is subject to minor alterations
which may result from interchanges Of
views between Berlin and general
headquarters.
The attitude Of Germany will be
stated in clear and precise terms. The
note will leave no room for doubt con-
cerning the exact position assumed by
Germany, which will communicate the
definite nature OF instructions that
will be given to submarine command
ers and other data on which Washing
ton itself can judge the situation.
The Associated Press is permitted
to make these statements, although
the censorship on dispatches tending
to reveal the tenor of the German
reply is still effective. The date Of
delivery Of the answer has not been
fixed.

'ut Of conference

The reason that the full amount was
not reached by May / is said by the
authorities to be because of the bad
weather on the last Sunday of the
campaign known as Cleaner day. This
always brings $4,000 or 100000 on
such campaigns as this but owing to
the fact that it rained all day last Sun
day scarcely any work was done.

Washington. D. c., May S.-The an

definite instructions are to be given
to German submarine commanders Is
the first positive indication Of how
Germany will attempt to meet Presi-
dent Wilson's final demand that she
abandon the present methods of SUBJ

Whether the new Instructions will
meet the terms of the last American
note and thus prevent break In diplo-
matte relations can only be determined
by close and careful examination.
President Wilson is represented by
those closest about him as unshaken In
his determination that the issue is not
negotiable; that settlement can not
be delayed by discussion of side is-
sues; that the controversy between
the countries can proceed further in
diplomacy only II Germany effectually
stops destruction of ships without
warning and takes measures to bring
her submarine operations otherwise
