SEND MORE TROOPS
Release OF Carrizal Prisoners
Will In No Way Affect War

NEW YORK. June 30.-The release
of the Tenth Cavalry troopers, taken
BY Carranza soldiers IN 1he Carrizal

cation of the ultimate destination OF

1t was announced AT divisional head.
quartcrS tonight thar the number Of

NOT KNOWN WHEN
ANSWER WILL COME
Every Reason To Believe That
President Wilson Will Act
Promptly

WASHINGTON. June So
While administration officials
manifested impatlence today over
the delay Of the carranza govern
ment In replying to the American
demand for an explanation OF Its
purposes, private adviees from
Mexico City indicate that a de-
flant answer was being prepared
there.
The private messages; sent BY
persons in a position to speak
. with some authority as to Gen.
eral Carranza's attitude, exlress-
ed the conviction that a break be-
tween the two governments was
unavoidable. There appeared to
be complete agreement among
members Of the Mexican cabinet
it IS indicated, that orders to Gen.
erai Trevino to attack American
troops moving any direction ex-
cept toward the border be reaf-
firmed. Some de facto officials
wished to 90 further. and couple
with this statement in the Me1i-
can reply, defiant demand that
Anericait troops be withdrawn
Immediately from Mexican soil.
The unconciliatory character OF
memorandum published in Mex,
leo City. specifically denying, all
the allegations Of the previous
American note in answer to Car
ranza's demand for withdrawal Of
the troops, appeared to bear out
this forecast. .
The state department has had
no direct information as to when
the Mexican response would be
sent or how 1t would be transmit-
ted. Secretary Lansing called
this fact to the attention of Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican Ambassador
designate. during the day and In.
dicated that he did not understand
the delay In view Of the state
nent in the American note Of last
Sunday, that IN early answer was
expected. Mr.. arredondo said he
mad not heard from his govern
ment on this subject.
Although Special Agent Rogers
at Mexico City was informed two
days ago that he might expect to
be handed the Mexican note that

FEDERAL
BOND ISSUE
TO MEET EXPENSES
OF MEXICAN TROUBLE
Agreement Reached Under
Which Congress Is Expect
ed To Authorize Issue

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 30.-An
agreement under which Congress IS
expected TO authorize Federal bond
issue to meet the extraordinary eX-
peuses of the Mexican emergency was
reached to-day BY administration lead
ers. Under the plan such an issue
actually would be made only IN case
the ordinary resources. Of the treas
ury and the additional S2lO,000,9 600 eX'
pected from the administration reVe'
nue. bill prove insufficient.
What form the bonds would take,
should an issue be found necessary,
has not been determined. Some lead
ers favor issuance of some of the Pan.
ANA Canal IS, of which balance of
S24O,569, 900 remains in the treasury,
and others believe a special emergen-
cy bond should be put out. Treasury
officials emphasized that In view OF a
net balance of close to $200.O0O,00 on
hand at the end Of the fiscal year TO-
night, the authority asked OF Con-
gress might have to be invoked.
The exact amount of the treasury
surplus for the fiscal year Will not be
known until tomorrow, but at the
close of business yesterday It was
S174.171,S45. and officials believed 20
DAYS receipts would increase 1t TO
more than $200,000.000. Total income
tax receipts up to today were $685.
19l,675, as compared with S43,525, 1i9
a year ago. Internal revenue officers
throughout the country kept open un.
til midnight, and the yearly total
from the tax was expected 10 amount
TO more than $115,000.0O0. Nearly so
per cent. Of the $S5.000,000 1t yield
ed last year came in during the last
~. r.
dinary receipts for the year, including
June 20, were s712.654,574.
Approve Plan.
Senator Simmons and Representa-.
tive Kitchen emphasized tonight that
they were in hearty accord with the
treasurys proposal to segregate the
expenses of the Mexican situation from
the ordinary government expenditures.
Senator Simmons said the proposed
bond issue would be restricted TO- pay
only this one class of extraordinary
Representative Kitchen declared he
strongly favored a bond issue and be-
lieyed that course would be adopted.
"The appropriat in the supply
bills and the estimates submitted to
congress on account Of the expenses OF
mobilization and other conditions at
the border in Mexico" he said ,ap,
proximates $125,0O0,0O0. These and all
other necessary appropriations on ac'
count Of Mexico whether We have war
or not should be met by bonds.
