Awaits Official Version.

Officials here were still unable to
determine just what troops were in
volved In the Parral affray. The opin-
ion prevailed, however, that 1t was
a detachment of the Thirteenth cav
airy, although some officers believe it
might have been a detachment of the
Tenth.
An official version of the incident is
anxiously awaited and may have great
weight in determining the course to be
pursued by the administration.
kilograms transmitted to Secretary
Lansing by the CarranZa embassy
here are believed reliable, but even
these do not agree on details of what
occurred Mexican adyices from the
border offer still other versions of
the affair. Since General Carranza
sharply criticised the American com
mander in transmitting a report of
what happened officials here feel it is
necessary to have the American Off
GERS own report before any conclu-
sion can be reached.

Troops to Remain in Mexico.

General CarranZas note and tele-
grams urging the withdrawal from
Mexico of the American troops and all
information at hand regarding the lat
est military developments were laid
before the cabinet
1t is said to he practically certain
no immediate order for withdrawal Of
troops will be given.
When Secretary Baker left the cabi-
net meeting he said there was "abso-
lutely no change in the Mexican sit
uation" and that the status of the
American troops was the same.
Secretary Baker said there has been
no change in General Funston's or
ders, but declined to discuss questions
of policy raised by the Carranza note.
The border commanders hands are
entirely free, he said. to make any
necessary disposition of the 10000 men
under his command. Duspatch of
troops to strengthen the supporting
lines or the shifting Of border forces
to places best adapted to eventuali-
ties are matters of which General
Funston himself is the only judge, in
the war view.

Fear for Safety Of

OFFICIAL REPORT OF
AFFRAY IS LACKING
Troops Engaged at ParraI Known
TO Be 0utnunbeTed.

Washington, April 15.-Deep anxiety
is felt in official circles over the fate
of Major Tompkins and his little force
of United States cavalry. attacked at
Parral, Mex.
Known to be outnumbered, perhaps
beleaeuered. in a district notoriOusly
anti-American, it is feared the troop
ers are in grave danger. Lack of in
formation from the isolated detach-
ment intensified the anxiety for their
safety
While awaiting official information
regarding the outcome of the first bat
tie the American troops have had with
the natives in Mexico, and what steps
General Funston has taken to prevent
further trouble, the question of what
effect the attack will have on the ad-
ministration's Mexican policy is under
consideration by President Wilson and
his official family.
