Washington, d. c., June 29-An i'm
mediate break between the United States
and the de facto government of Mexico
was averted by compliance with the
American demand for the release of the
% troopers captured in the fight at Car
RIAL
The preparations of the United States
for war will go steadily forward There
viii be no interruption of the rush of
National Guardsmen to the border and
General Funston will continue disposing
the forces under his command as if he
expected an immediate attack from the
Mexicans
The fact that Carranza has complied
with one of the demands is accepted by
the more optimistic officials here as an
indication that he is striving to prevent
a break. Even if he again should at
tempt to throw all blame for the Carri-
zal fight upon the American officers and
insist upon his right to oppose forcibly
any except northward movements of
American troops, it is thought that pos.
sibly he will state his position in such a
way as to make further discussion nee
essary,
During any negotiations, however, the
United States will insist upon freedom
of movement of the troops in Mexico,
and any attempt to interfere with them
will be met by force if necessary. This
will apply too, 10 any period of delay
occasioned by attempts to arrange media
tion or arbitration.
1t is known that powerful influences
have been brought to bear on Carranza
in the past few days to make him at
least turn over the American prisoners.
Prominent MeXicans in the United States
as well A. American bankers and bus |
mess interests with influence in Mexican /,
affairs have flooded the first chief with |
messages. They all sent him the same
wsrning-that the United States gov
ernment meant business and that to hold |
the prisoners would mean war.

At ! o'clock yesterday morning the ia

800 men camping on the state reserva.
ton, but the compass of the camp has

IN the regiment, who win undergo their
physical examination to-day. The re.
cruiting offices at the home stations Of

all would-be guardsmen must apply at
Camp Governor Gates. II is extreme
ly uncertain as to when the infantry
recruits will be ordered to Join the regi-
ment
The cavalry camp, at which are sta
toned the First squadron of the First
avslry, comprise Is officers and $50 en-
listed men, of whom about 80 are re-
fruits. The war strength of the squad
ron is l6s men and as this number is ex-
nected to be reached within a few days,
5he cavalry may leave far the border Fri
lay or Saturday However, if recruits
lppear in sufficient number TO make the
project feasible one, an entire regiment
II cavalry may be recruited.
The regimental band is also being re-
'ruited at the camp and will proceed to
he destination of the regiment as soon
is il has attained its full strength of 2s

The attack on the Petrolite, Stanl-

the new American note replies The text
Of the reioinder is in the form of a mem

In vigorous language the communi

it clear that the United States govern

tirely different from what the Austri-

to be and that immediate amends are
expected.
The Austrian claim that the Petro-

are the claims that warning shots were
fired across the PctrOlites bow before
she was shelled and that her appearance /
