Scott's Report Discussed.

Scott's Report Discussed.
President Wilson and his Cabinet
discussed to-day General Scott's re-
port announcing that the questions
at issue had been referred back by
the conferrees to their respective
governments for diplomatic discus
sion. Later it was officially stated
that the situation was unchanged.
There was no evidence among Ad-
ministration officials of greatly in
creased concern over the events at
the border and in Mexico. Presi-
dent Wilson left this afternoon for
a weekend trip in Chesapeake Bay
on the naval yacht Mayfower. Sec
retary Baker took a train for At
lantic City and Newark, n. j., and
will not return until Sunday.
The text Of General Scott's report OF
his final discussions has not been made
public. There are indications that he
arrived at something in the nature OF
a gentlemsn's understanding with the
Mexican War Minister, though it pos
sibly has no more definite form than a
statement by each side of what steps it
is proposed TO take toward checking
raids along the Texas border, renewed
with the attack on Glenn Springs.
An indication Of the attitude OF some
members of Congress toward the sug-
gestion OF General Csrranza that the
American expedition be recalled came
in the Senate to-day, when Senator
Lewis declared he believed the majority
Of the Senate never would vote for
withdrawal until the murderers OF
Americans had been punished. The
Illinois Senator spoke in reply TO a
suggestion by Senator Kenyon that
nothing adequate was being done TO
safeguard the soldiers now in Mexico.
Senator Lewis declared every possible
precaution was being taken by the War
department
Embargo May Win Day.
Neither Secretary Lansing nor Eliseo
Arredondo, Csrranza's ambassador des-
ignate, took any step during the day
toward renewing diplomatic discussion
of the points that arose during tho
military conference. Mr.. Arredondo
W. awaiting instructions from his
government. Secretary Lansing will
discuss matters with General Scott on
his return next week before taking up
informal conversations with the Mexi-
can Ambassador. There was nothing
to indicate any desire to press matters
on either side.
Enforcement Of the embargo on arms,
il is expected, will compel Csrranza to
meet the terms laid down by this gov
er:.ment, as he is unable to supply his
armies without outside help. When the
Carranza government was recognized
the embargo was not applied to ship
ments to the Carranza authorities, but
recently, on the pretext Of inquirinS
into the destination of shipments, all
consignments have been held up. This
policy will be continued until an agree
ment is reached concerning the present
situation.
