MEXICAN SILENCE SIGNIFICANT

NEW YORK, March 10.-Mcxico so far has not been officially heard from in the matter of the Columbus raid and the intention of the United Statse to invaoe Mexican soil to punish the bndits. In some circles the fear is still heard that the raid was expressly engineered for the purpose of forcing intervention. Carranza statements to that effect are still remembered here. Tho general belief undoubtedly prevails in unofficial as well as official quar- ters that tho raid will result In general war between the United States and Mexico.

the water and cold air comes from is
a question no one has answered.

long to see him again and hear his
