Washington, June 5O.-Danger OF

Wilson awaits the reply from General
CarranZa to his note threatening

expedition is attacked. But DESPITE
this belief, mlitiamen cbntinued ia

means certain that it may not have

A United Press dispatch from N[exi

was about completed, was read with
with interest at the White House. The
president hopes to have the communi

The Mexico City dispatches report

will avert war buoyed up hopes for q
peaceful settlement. The arrival OF
the American prisoners in Ell Paso and

mistic factors. Officials waited wifi
