WASHINGTON. June 30.-The Mex

where 1t was twenty-iour hours ago,

Of the Washington government to
force an immediate issue on its de-
mand for assurances that there will
be no repetition Of the attack on Gen

No time limit was set in President
Wilson's note making the demand and
there are indications that the admin

not only concentration Of stronger
force to meet the needs Of actual hos
