MEXICO CITY, June 24.-Mexican
military officials are displaying great
activity in view OF the prospects of
war with the United States. They
have been on the move day and night
since the international situation be-
came critical, though the city is quiet
so far as the civilian population is
concerned.
General Carranza was in consulta-
ton with his ministers until a late
hour last night The reply to Presi-
dent Wilson's note was the chief topic
under discussion. All the leading
officials refused to talk for publica-
ton though the general sentiment is
that the note is unduly antagonistic
and that some portions are based on
a Misunderstanding of the facts.
There are no indications when Cen
eral Carranza's reply will be sent to
Washington. Officials declare positive
ly. however, that no intimation Of its
contents will be permitted to be
cabled or to be published here until
after il is received and published in
full in the United States.
The American government is be-
ing criticised because New York
newspapers printed a synopsis OF
President Wilson's note a week before
its receipt here. Little public inter
est is being shown in the note which
has not been published here. II is
the general belief. however. that Car
rama, in his reply. will combat Wig
orously some Of President Wilson's
statements, especially the one alleging
the presence of Constitutionalisi
troops among bandit traders.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-1he ques-

Boyd were under explicit orders from
General pershing 90 coniine their opera
tions exclusively 20 scouting. They
were specifically commanded TO engage
in no fight, or TO make no move which
threatened TO precipitate fight unless
actually attacked. If Boyd was CONF
manded to stop. or was refused permits
sion TO proceed, by General Gomez. and
advanced regardless, he violated his or
dcrs and there will be no declaration OF
war because OF the Carrizal incident.
Following conference with President
Wilson. lasting one hour, Secretary of
War Baker at u O'Clock today said'
"We are obliged to wait for further
word from General Pershng before we
can determine our course of c.ion."
"rhe only thing We have thus far,
aside from that coming from Mexican
sources. is the report of few strag-
glers who were considerably in the rear

occurred" Baker said

the horses and act as rear guard
