Washington. June 6.-President
Wilson and his cabinet today discuss
ed the forthcoming reply OF the United
States to Carranza' note demanding
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico.
No definite action except a decision
TO delay sending It. was taken with
respect to the Mexican note. Secretary
Lansing and the President will take
the question up for consideration later

After the cabinet meeting Secretary
Lansing would not say when the
Mexican note will be sent There was
a. noticeable change In the attitude of
other officials who have indicated that
an immediate reply would be sent to
Carranza. There were limitations that
the reply may be withheld until after

One factor that Is expected to play
a part in determining the future course
OF the United States in dealing with
