CABINET BELIEVES TORPEDO
WAS THE CAUSE OF THE
STEAMER SINKING.
SITUATION IS A GRAVE ONE
Position of the United States Is
Surrounded With Difficulties
While Without Evidence-No
Decided Action to Be Taken.

WASIINGTON, March 2S. Secre-
tary Lansing announced after the
cabinet meeting today that the United
States Immediately would make in
quiry of the German government as to
whether any Of its submarines tor
pedocd the British channel steamer
Sussex
Members of the cabinet said that
evidence in possession of the United
States was not conclusive enough to
warrant decisive action at this time.
For this reason il was decided to
make inquiry of Germany. A major
ity of the cabinet members, however,
believed preliminary reports clearly
indicated the Sussex was torpedoed.
The decision to make the inquiry
was reached by the president and his
advisers at today's meeting of the
cabinet. The president and cabinet
members were furnished with all re-
ports concerning Tie disaster witch
had reached the state department
from diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives in France and in England
AS President Wilson and his cabi-
net met, members reflected the
view that the submarine situation was
grave, but indicated that no decided
action would be taken by the Ameri-
can government until it was shown
conclusively that the steamers Sussex
and l1nglishman were sunk by subma-
rines.
Although the majority Of the cabi-
net members present thought the
Sussex had been torpedoed, some
agreed that the position Of the
United States would be surrounded
with difficulty unless the sinking of
the vessels were admitted or unless
overwhelming evidence should be
developed, one cabinet member
thought the ship had been sunk by
mine.

Effort to Get Cattle.

Ell PASO, Tex, March 2S-There
was a very noticeable increase in the
tension along the border today fol
lowing the reported raid last night
on the ranch of c. f. Kelly former
mayor of Ell Paso, by Mexican ban
dts The ranch is 80 miles east of
here and a mile and a half from the
border
The alarm was given first by l.. N
Barker foreman of the Kelly ranch.
Barker said he saw number of
mounter Mexicans cross the river
and attempt to drive off one hun
dred head of cattle belonging to
Kelly. He ran to a neighboring
ranch house and called his employer
on the long distance telephone here.
In the meantime three of the raiders
went to the Kelly ranch house, and
threatened the Mexican assistant
foreman with. death if he interfered
with them.
Ward was Immediately sent to the
troops on patrol duty at Sabens, two
miles east of the ranch and to
Ysleta, eight miles in the other di-
rection. Two detachments of the
eighty cavalry, accompanied by four
Texas rangers, were sent in pursuit
of the raiders. After three hours
March they returned to camp. Cap
tain G. w. Moses reported to Gen
eral Bell that nothing had been seen
of the Mexicans and that he believed
the whole afafir to be a false alarm.
Barker, however, inscisted on the
truth of his story.
The reported raid served to give a
fresh start to the alarming reports
about the attitude of the MeXicans
and conditions in the interior, which
have kept residents here in a state
bordering on hysteria since the
american troops crossed the border
This feeling had seemed to be dying
away for the last couple of days.
Matters were not improved by the
news froi& Washington that General
Carranza had again deferred a de-
cision on the question of permitting
the use of the Mexican railroads for
the transportation of supplies to the
American troops in the field. Army
officers here admit freely that the
question of the use of the railroads is
becoming an increasingly serious one
