Gen. Funston went to San Antonio to

Gen. Scott and Juan Amador. Sub

that any ultimatum was delivered dur

the very positive belief that there would

Nevertheless there is "A feeling in

Resentment against Americans became
more marked to-day than 1t has ever
been known. Carranza officials did not
even treat newspaper correspondents
courteously, where formerly they have
been accustomed to joke with them and
receive them cordially.
The fact that Gen. Funston called in
several we'll known doctors and con-
ierred with them regarding hospital ac-
commodations was also the subject OF
much speculation here
Gen. Funston visited the hospital at
Fort Bliss. where he went among the
sick and wounded men from Mexico and

He DISTRIBUTED cigarettes and "lull.ed"

Mexico, is still bnsy redistributing his

toward the American line from the
