Congress took the note quietly and.
although members expressed vari-
ETY. of views the general sentiment
seemed to be in favor of leaving the
situation in the hands of the presi-
dent. On the surface there was no
sign of activity in the group which
has been working to prevent the pres
ident from pressing the situation 10
the point OF a diplomatic rupture.
Cabinet members went over the un-
official text carefully with the presi-
dent and while they uniformly re-
fused to discuss it. they reflected the
view that break had been averted !;
that Germany's new assurances would
be accorded the test of time. not
withstanding the reference to the ac-
ton Germany expects the United
States to take against Great Britain's
restraints on neutral trade. They ex-

United States fail to prevail upon
Great Britain to bring her practices

United States for some time has been

correspondence with Great Britain on
that subject and the success or failure
of the negotiations and Germany's
consequent action must necessarily
remain for the future.
The United States does not know
how Germany's new instructions to
submarine commanders compare with
previous instructions which were
given at the behest of President Will

that it was possible the state depart

General Pershing Sends
Word That Americans
Are Near Bandit.
GENERALS HOLD LAST
CONFERENCE TODAY
Publication of Text of
Agreement Awaits
Notification.

III PAsO, Texas May 5.-Tele-
~ graphic exchanges betw Gen.
eral Alvaro Obregon and General
Nenustiano Carranza over the tenta-
tive agreement for American and Mex
lcan cooperation in the scattering of
Villa bandits have been completed. il
was said tonight.
1t is expected General Obregon will
mold his next conference with Gen.
eral Scott tomorrow on the Ameri-
can side of the Rio Grande and that
protocol covering the agreement will
then be drawn up.
IL had been the expectation of Cen
erals Scott and Funston that the final
meeting with General Dbregon would
take place today. At the last mo-
rnont, however, it was learned that
General Carranza still held to the
opinion that the American troops
should set definite and early date
Tor withdrawal. 1t was said that Il
large part Of today was spent by the
Mexican officials here in convincing
the first chief that the tentative agree
inent should be adhered to in the
main.
Must Thrash Out.
1t is asserted, however, that there
are still a few details not yet as
sentcd to by General Carranza and
that these will have to be thrashed
out at the next meeting between
Generals Scott and Obregon. Per-
sons In position to know say that
the matters in dispute are bound to
be adjusted.
The only event of the day on the
American side of the Rio Grande was
General Funston's receipt of message
from General j. j. Pershing in which
he said Villa had been located. The
general gave no details except that
the American troops were not a great
distance from the spot where the
bandit was supposed to be. Officials
here were inclined to think that there
was a chance that the expeditionary
commander might soon get in touch
with villa bands.
simultaneously with the receipt of
General Pershing's message came u
report from Juarez that Villa had
been seen at Santiago Papasquiaro in
the state of Durango. This is far
south of any locality in which Ameri-
can troops are located.
