Washington. May 1o-The course OF
General Obregon at FL Paso has been
puZzling. Administration officials have
had reason to believe that General Car
rama has given his assent to the agree
ment as originally fran, except in
minor details. The plan was suggested
in part at least ny General ObreEon
himself when the Conferees first mot,
yet Obregon has refused thus far to eX-
change ratiflcations with General Scott.
In some quarters it was thought the
Mexican war minister might be seeking
political benefit from the tactics he has
adopted There is no official infOrma-
ton tending to support this view, al
though intimations of friction between
Carranza and his war minister have neen
published frequently.
1t is not believed here that political
manipulation of this sort, if it does
exist, will be prolonged to the point OF
causing a break with the United States
\ feeling Of optimism as to the fina
result of the conference is based largel!
on this view, and also on the fact that
General Scott has given no indication
that he thought an agreement coult
not be reached.

FL Paso. Texas, May 1O-Ncgotiations
over American troop dispositions in
Mexico made no progress to-day. Cen
cral ObreGon awaited word from Cen
eral Carranza as to the course he is
now to pursue and when instructions
did not come, conference proposed for
this morning was POSTPONED until to-
morrow.
Failing in their efforts to have
definite date for withdrawal set. il was
reported tonight that the Mexican gov
crnment may next try to have part of
the American troops taken out at once.
leaving the remainder to cooperate
with the forces of the de facto govern
ment in the pursuit of villa troops
If this plan were rejected it was in
dicated tonight. the MeXicans We're
lillely to decide further attempts TO
alter the position of the United States
uesless and it was believed they would
then agree to the proposals of the
American government,
In an authoritative quarter tonight
the belief was expressed that to-mor-
rows meeting would be the last OF
the conferences and that General Obrc-
gon will endorse the tentative agree
ment with perhaps few minor
changes Asked whether tomorrow $
meeting would be final, General Obre-
gon said; Il don't know, there might
be other meetings.
In the absence of new proposals, the
situation now stands as follows;
Generals Hugh l.. Scott and Freder-
ick Funston are unalterably opposed
to any agreement which sets a date
for American withdrawal from Mexico
However. the American conferces are
listening to all proposals the Mexican
minister of war may make while waiting
for him to realize that the intentions of
the American government in MeSico are
immovable.
In the meantime General Obregon's pro
posal for joint troop patrol Of the border
is not given serious consideration al
though it was reported TO Washington.

muster sufficient forces to form a pa,ro
of the sort outlined and at the same tim,
carry on it's campaign against the Zapat5
