WASHINGTON. April 21-President Wilson and the cabinet discussed the
 Mexican situation today but did not decide on any course Of action. Furth- CT steps by the United States toward the pursuit of Villa or withdrawal Of the troops from Mexico will await 3 full report from Major General Scott. chief of stan of the army. as to con ditions on the border, and in Mexico.
 General Scott. who reached San Antonio. Texas, tonight to confer with General Funston. was not expecting to send report on the situation until tomorrow. His full report. upon which decision as to the step to be taken probably will not be made until his return to Washington. When he left here the chief of staff said he would make his investigation and return as quickly as possible He could not in- dicate how long he might be gone
 Pending word from General Scott. Secretary Baker reiterated his state ment that no change had been made in orders to General Funston and the department had no new knowledge oi any change in General Pershing's status. Reports had been received that the expedition was at a stand still.
 The secretary admitted that an of ticial dispatch had carried. as a rumor. the report that Mexican off cers had warned General Pershing not to proceed south of Parral IL lan eN. that report to this effect was trans mitted some days befor the Parral in cident through consular agents. Mir. Baker insisted that the warning had made no change in the department s orders to the border forces.
 It was indicated tonight that re- ply to General Carranza's telegram calling attention to the clash a; Par ral and the assertion that the U. s. commander had violated orders and the agreement with the de facto gov ernment in entering the town. would | be dispatched soon. War Department l officials say the report on the in- cident from General Pershing. Major | Tompkins and other officers. is not | complete. It has been withheld from | publication because of the flat con | tradictions il contains of the advices | from General Carranza as to the part | his troops played in the fighting.
 With this report. as a basis, the | Parral incident will be treated as a l matter entirely separate from the suggestion of the de lacto government | that the troops be withdrawn. Offi-i cials indicated that Carranza's atten- tion would be called to the discrep- ancies in the two versions. They | thought it unlikely he would attempt to uphold his original report in The light of more recent information and | no lengthy correspondence is looked | for.
 While immediate interest centers naturally in the situation as to the :. troops in Mexico. there were renewed !. about the State Depart | ment today that wholly different as pect of the Mexican problem was growing concern. That is the supposedly headed by Felix Diaz, nephew of the former Mexican dictator. for new revolu- ton against the de facto government None of the information upon which the uneasiness rests has been dis closed. lt is known, however. that several Mexicsns in the United States are being closely watched and it seems possible that some of the anti American feelius in Chihuahua state which has met the troops pursuing Villa, may be attributed to the move ment.
