WASHINGTON, May IA. -
" Although the punitive force
which Major Langhorne is lead
ing into Mexico from Marathon
has been forced to stop and await
reinforcements, on information
that Villa army is gathered be-
fore him. to bar his progress af-
ter the bandits which raided
Glenn Springs, and although the
reports of Special Agent Rogers
are to the effect that First Chief
Carranza is apparently not inclin-
ed to enter into any further nego-
tiations until his demand that the
American troops be withdrawn
is complied with, the semi-official
reports in circulation here are
that affairs on the border are in
a much more satisfactory shape
than the surface indications make
it appear
These. reports are that the re-
cent conferences between Gener-
ais Scott and Funston and Gener-
ais oBregoni and sAivira accom-.
plished a great deal towards bring
ing the. Americans and the Car
ranzistas into, harmony in their
Joint pursuit of the Villistas and
the fact that no papers were &C
tually signed and no formal an
flouncements made public means
only that it was thought best to
take no open step that might
infame the Mexican popuIace against
CarranZa. The signing of an agree
ment whereby the American troops
would be left to operate in Mexico
would, it is believed, have been inter
preted by the Mexicans as a diplomatic
defeat for Carranza, with a correspon.
ding reVulsion of feeling in favor of
Villa and Zapata.
Dividing the Work
According to the general understand
ing arrived at, the Cara nZistas will
take over the chase of the Villistas in
the neighborhOod of Parral, from the
~ ~
while the troops under General Per.
shing will operate north of that line.
In accordance with this, Pershing is
now recalling his scouting parties des-
patched south and it is believed that
he will soon abandon Namiquapa as his
advanced base, bringing it north.
Protocol Talk Again
Secretary Lansing and Minister Res
ident Arredondo will resume the nego-
tiations broken off by the generals at
FL Paso, taking the issue of the use of
the Mexican railroads by the Amer cans
up for settlement this week. When
the diplomats reach a point of agree
ment, a formal protocol will be entered
into.
The report of Special Agent Rogers
Mexican capital that First Chief"
Carranza is prepared to negotiate at
all further on any basis that involves
the continued presence of American
troops south of the boundary line.
More Troops Go South
Reports from Marathon, Texas, the
base of the expedition led into Mexico
In pursuit of raiders, state that Major
LangthOrne 3 dash has been checked

south of the border, awaiting the re-
Endorsements on the way TO join him
