READY FOR NEW
 Fl PASO FARLEY
Mexican Conferees Disappointed at Stand Against United States With drawal-To Washington for
 Settlement.


 Fl Paso. Tex, May 2.-Generals Scott and Funston held an extend ed conference Tuesday over the amplifled instructions sent them from Washington in which the ad- ministration stated that no agree ment was to be reached that was based on any proposition for the immediate withdrawal of the Ameri- can troops from Mexico. Word then was sent to General Obregon, minister of war of the de facto gov |ernment. asking for second con- ference to discuss the military questions now involving the two re- publics.
 The Mexican conferees. having be- come acquainted with the admins tration's position on withdrawal through press dispatches, showed their disappointment and there were intimations that they might not further pursue their request for withdrawal.
 A Mexican conferee said Tuesday that, even though the request was not met at this conference. there was no reason to fear that serious trouble between the two countries would follow.
 The whole question of withdraw ing the troops" said the Carranza official, will then revert to Wash ington for future negotiations be- eween the state department and the Mexican ambassador At the confer ence here we have given reasons from a military standpoint why the Americans should retire to their own territory and this information should be valuable in future de- termination of the question:
 The American generals were ready Tuesday to submit detailed plans for cooperation between the Car ranza and American forces in the pursuit of Villa and his bands. but 1t was understood that General Ob- regon would suggest that he did not feel disposed 10 discuss the propos- al, because of certain diplomatic phases, but would acquaint the first chief with the matter. Should the minister of war take this position it was thought that the conference would then be ended and both sides would make their reports to their respective governments.
