WASHINGTON, April 29.--With
Generals Scott and Funston in FL Paso
and General Obregon in Jaurez, the
stage 10 set for the International con
ference that probably will decide tho
policy Of the United States toward the
Mexican problem, which will open this
morning.
General Scott and General Funston
Yesterday afternoon made q formal
courtesy call upon General Obregon at
his quarters In, JuareE, and WE'RE also
received by General Gavira, the CAT
rama eommandant of the Garrison in
that border towN.
The general feeling among army Of
tcers statiohed at Fl Paso, say des-
patches from that city, is that the
Ameriean-Mexican conference will re-
sult in q tentative proposal from the
United States that American troops be
allowed to occupy part Of chihuahua,
pending the success Of the Carranzista
attempts to capture Villa and break
up the bandits in Northern Mexico.
At Columbus, New Mexico, the lar
gest force of American oavalrymen
gathered in one body since the depart.
ure OF the expedition under General
Pershing, Is eneamped directly on the
border, preparatory TO crossing today.
1t is understood that this command
will be under the orders Of General
Funston, and probably viii be used to
strengthen the lines Of commune alton.
1t is possible, however, that the force
will be used to reinforce the main en-
peditionary body, and is being moved
now In anticipation Of any stipulation
that may result from the conference
against the sending Of more troops in
TO Mexico. tTt. b. %
In statement issued ut Juarez yes
terday General obregon repeated his
former assertions that Carranza will
demand the withdrawal of American
troops from Mexico, and his belief that
the Carranzistas can catch Villa, who
is reported to be suffering from bad
wound. ' g. r.. 10
