Wasbington.-Pres Wilson on
Monday in a conversation with one of
his advisers said Car-anza must COM
ply at once with the United States
demands for the release of the Ameri-
can prisoners and rcpudiate Trevino' $
orders to oppose movements OF the
American troops before there can be
any prospect of a peaceful settlement
of the issue between the United
States and Mexico.

answer from Carranza within forty
eight hours. II 1t should be refusal
OF the demands, Mr.. Wilson said he
would initiate action by Congress to
deal effectively with the situation.
The President was advised of a
concentration of Carranza troops
west of chihuahua. where the
American prisoners are held. This
movem ment is interpreted as an indi-
cation that Carranza contemplates re'
sistance. and possibly Il declaration Of
war on the United States.
With the Americans under Gen.
Pershing patrolling that district.
which is about seventy miles west OF
Chihuahua, the acute danger of an
other battle is fully realized here.
Efforts toward Latin-American me-
by Carranza officials. collapsed with
out having reached the stage of a
formal proposal to the United States.

entrated at Buestillos, seventy miles

Peae. Apostle threatened.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Dr. David Starr Jor-
dan, who is here as a member of the
Mexican peace mission, said that he
had received a number of threatening
letters from interventionists. But de-
spite threats. he added, the peace con-
against the principle OF Intervention.
If Intervention is necessary in the
name of humanity" Dr. Jordan stated.
But we do object to a soldiers row
being made an excuse for it. 1t puts
us in a trivial light. We ought to in

DEMANDS WILSON FREE MExi
CANS ARRESTED AND HELD
ON THE BORDER.
RAISE FOOD EMBARGO
PRESIDENT WILL SEND U. S
ARMY TO FREE cARRIzAL
PRISONERS.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.


Washington, June 2S.-Carranza
has met President Wilson'S ulti-
matum with a counter-demand. and
the question of war or peace between
the United States and Mexico may be
determined within the next twenty
four hours.
Unless Carranza reconsiders and
frees the twenty three American
troopers captured at Carrizal, Presi-
dent Wilson probably will go before
Congress Thursday to ask for au-
tLority to rescue them by force.
Pending their release the United
States government will not consider
any offer of mediation or arbitration.
The Presidents demand for the sur
render of the twenty-three prironers.
Carranza has matched with demand
for the release of thirty Mexicans ar
reEted by American authorities along
| the border in the last two weeks.
Clrranza also demands that Presi-
dent Wilson lift the embargo on the
deportation of American merchandise.
principally fcodstuffs, to Mexico,
which has been imposed by Ameri-
can customs officials within the last
week
These demands were presented TO
Secretary Lansing by Mr.. Arredondo
J Mexican ambassador-design to the
United States. They constitute the
| forerunner of Carranza's answer to
President Wilson's ultimaium to sur
render the American prisoners at
Chihuahua and to define the attitude
of the de facto government toward
the United States.
Mr.. Arredondo was advised that
the reply Is being transmitted to him
from Mexico City. He said he would
deliver 1t at once to Secretary Lans-
ing. The Mexican envoy was advised
by his government that the Carranza
reply is not a compliance with the
Presidents ultimatum. In view of
the demands made upon Secretary
| Lansing, 1t Is believed Carranza in
his reply will make the surrender of
the American prisoners conditional
upon the release of the Mexicans ar
rested in the United States. The in
dications are that Carranza is play
|
the President into negotiations for
the release of the American troop
ers and diplomatic discussion of
the other issue-the retention of the
American army in Mexico on its pun
1 tive" mission.
So far as announced, the State De-
partment has not been advised OF
the detentions of Mex:cans. 1t is an
open secret, however. that practical
embargo on commerce between the
United States and Mexico is being en-
forced effectually by customs and
formal proclamation.
Gen. Trevino has mobilized $4,000
to 10000 men. more than three times
the army under Gen. Pershing.
A message to the State Depart
meut from the British consul at Chi
huahua in regard to the Americans
held prisoner at Carrizal says:
There are twenty-one privates and
two sergeants of the Tenth cavalry
and one white interpreter interned in
the penitentiary. Two are slightly
wounCed, one through the shoulder
and the other through flesh wound in
the knee. Both are recovering and
receiving medical attention. They are
sufficiently fed and well treated
They have ample room for exercise
Am assured that there is no danger
