Brooks, a civil engineer who said he

the defense in the Orpet case today.
His map was introduced and he ex-

purposes was to show that Orpet and
Marian Lambert could have been seen

Washington, June 3d.
Private advices reaching
Washington from a re-

City today said General
Carranza and his advisers
had determined to stand
by orders to General Ire
vino to attack American
troops in Mexico moving
in any direction except to-
ward the border and that
no way was seen to avoid
a break with the United
States.
A faction of the Mexican cabi.

even more defiant attitude and
wanted to include in the repIy tn
the American request for a site.
ment of intentions a new demand
for Immediate withdrawal of all
United States troops now on Mex.
lean soil.
The advices did not indicate
when the response from Carranza
might be expected. The last word
on the subject to the state de.
partment came in a message from
Special Agent Rodgers, who said
he expected the note to be handed
him Wednesday night.
When President Wilson met with his
cabinet today just before leaving for
New York to deliver an address. the
private reports had not
reached him.
Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican am
bassador designate, called on Mr..
Lansing early in the day to commun-
icate formally that his government has
ordered the release of the American
troopers captured at Carrizal. Mr.,
Lansing made it plain that the Wash
ington government expected an early
reply to its note forwarded to Mexico
City last Sunday.
All cabinet members agreed after
the meeting that both the situation and
the policy of the United States were
unchanged as result of recent de-
velopments.
Military Action Delayed.
Release of the captured troopers
has delayed military action but has
not relieved the critical diplomatic
situation now existing. Several re.
ports from Special Agent Rodgers re.

He has had no light to shed on the
probable course General Carranz1
would take. 1t is known however, thai
Mexico City interests which have beer
exerting every effort to prevent Z
break are much discouraged.
Should the Mexican reply be in de
fiance of the United States, however
its meaning might be wrapped abou
with diplomatic language. there is nj
indication that the administration
would waiver in its determination t
protect the border by military opera
tions. President Wilson probabl,
would arrange to lay the whole mattel
before congress Immediately.
