ISSUE WILL Be
TAKEN UP Al TER
FOURTH 0 JULY
No Developments Expected in
Mexican Situation for
for Few Days
PREPAREDNESS MEASURES
STILL BEING CARRIED OUT
No Information as to Movements
of Troops Is Avail
able "

Washington, July 1.-With the ad-
journment of the house tonight over
the Fourth Of July, it became highly
improbable that the crisis between
the United States and the de facto
government Of Mexico would come to
final issue before Wednesday at the
earliest. Despite growing impatient
over General Carranzas delay in COM
plying with demands that he state
his intention toward American troops
in Mexico, President Wilson made no
move today toward laying the situa-
ton before congress. Officials be-
lieve he will wait some days at least
for a reply to the note sent week
ago tomorrow, provided there are no
further attacks on General Pershings
,ments;4in the meantime. Eefnre the
de facto government had complied
with the first demand made in that
note by releasing the prisoners taken
at Carrizal, it was expected the presf
dent would act within a time limit
fixed in his mind if there was no re-
ply or an unfavorableg one The ef-
feet of the release order apparently
had been to lengthen the limit.
No Further Developments.
There were no official dispatches
today dealing with the probable tenor
of the note it is known the de facto
government officials are framing.
Private messages had nothing to ada
to the gloomy outlook they reflected
yesterday. In fact, there were no
developments of any sort during the
day in the diplomatic situation, al
though the war department and con-
gress still ground away on measures
of preparedness against whatever the
future may hold.
Under the war department censor
ship, no information General Funs-
ton or the general staff may have as
to movements of Mexican troops be-
yond the border was available. Ru-
mors said Carranza soldiers were
massing around the strip of territory
occupied by General Pershing's men,
leaving open only the we'll guarded
road back to the border War de-
partment officials refused to discuss
these reports. It is known, however,
that they are fully confident of Cen
eral Pershing's ability to protect him.
self under any circumstances.
Will Increase Appropriation.
A few bulletins written in abrupt
military style were given out during
the day by Major Macarthur. In con-
gress, the senate military committee
prepared to increase by probably
more than $1O,OOO.0OO the army ap-
preparation bill as it. passed the
house. The committee now has ap-
proved increases totaling $75,O00,OO0.

BELL REPORTS
SHOOTING WAS
JUST|F| led
Mexican Killed by Sergeant
Fair Was Acting sus-
piciously
AMBASSADOR DESIGNATE
ISSUED A PROTEST

Washington, July IA report from
General Bell regarding the killing Of
a Mexican on the Mexican side of the
border, at Ysleta, yesterday, by Ser
geant j. X. Fair of the Eighth caval-
ry, was received tonight at the war
department. General Bell said the
sergeant was justified because of the
suspicious conduct of the Mexican
killed, and a companion. The killing
was the subject of vigorous protest
to the state department by the Mexi-
can ambassador designate. General
Bells report reads: ..a..-. ..
Sergeant J., K. Fair, Troop c.,
Eighth cavalry, on outpost duty, at
about GAS p. M. yesterday, at Ysleta,
saw two Mexicans on the opposite
side of the river, one of whom appear
ed to act in a very suspicious man.
ner, dropping his hands toward his
weapon and Jerking up his horse
short, and Fair. believing himself in
danger, drew and fired first. Both
Mexicans, rode off, but one died Of
wounds.
Commends Sergeant. ..
Troop commander states he can
only commend The sergeant for his
prompt action. In my opinion. it is
"a very unfortunate affair, but one that
is most likely tGsssee esE.undfs the. con-
Editions now existing along the border.
Mexicans have frequently fired upon
parties on this side, and the Ameri-
can soldier has reason to put no faith
in an armed man who acts suspicious
ly on the opposite bank, although the
orders are most drastic and COM
mand him not to fire unless fired up.
on"
In a protest to the state department
Mr.. Arredondo charged that an Amer.
lean trooper fired on the two MeXi-
cans, who were customs officials.
General Funston made this COM
ment en- the incident:
~ Sergeant Justified.
1T is believed that Sergeant Fair
was. justified in believing himself in
danger and in firing on the Mexicans
who were threatening to shoot him
In view Of the fact OF the killing OF
Sergeant Harry Furman, of the 29rd
infantry, it is easy to understand con-
ditions existing along the border and
the possibilities of our men being
killed, when the armed Mexicans
threaten to shoot at them as was
done in this case"
General Funston also forwarded a
report from General Pershing, adding
the name of Daley Farer to the list
of the Tenth cavalry troopers wound
ed in the Carrizal fight.
