Washington Gives Him Au- thority to Pursue the Texas Raiders, But Fails to Give Him Troops.
STILL WATCHFULLY
 WAITING FOR PEACE
Capitol Still Hopes Scott and Oregon Will Agree and That All Raiding Will Au- tomatically Stop.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, May S.-Adminis- tration officials are hopeful that eff fective cooperation between Ameri- can and Mexican troops to eXtermi- outlaws which raided Glenn Springs Texas. last Friday night will follow the conclusion of the conference at EI Peso between Generals Scott and OLregon. In the meantime though at the War and State Departments it was stated officially that General Funston has full authority 10 send his troops across the border on any hot trail.
 Officials would not comment on the border advices, saying General Funs- ton has repeatedly urged that his forces be strengthened The ques- tion of calling out a portion of the diate consideration, however. and as the only other means of adding ma terially to the border guard would be to employ coast artillery troops as Infantry for that purpose. there is nothing to indicate that General Fun ston's force is to be increased.
 The Glenn Springs raid has served to make clear the attitude of the State Department regarding General Carranza's note suggesting the with drawal of the American expedition. It was stated officially today that the agreement suggested by General Car ranZa in the first exchange of notes for a. reciprocal right to cross the border on any recurrence of the Co lumbus raid. still was assumed to be in force Only the status of the pres ent expedition is involved it was said in the present diplomatic situaton and in the Scott-Obregon military discussion at Fl Paso. The right to pursue outlaws who engaged in sub seQuent raids was clearly stated in the original proposal from Carranza and if Funston's men go across in pursuing the Glenn Springs raiders. they will be covered by that agree ment. regardless of the status of Gen eral Pershine's expedition.
 It is regarded as unquestionable that the latest influence upon the time when American troops will be with drawn from Mexico The agreement reached at Fl Paso it has been stated, provides no time limit for withdrawal, but rests upon a demonstration of the ability of the CarranZa forces to pro tect the international line. The Texas raif apparently places the fulfillment of the condition further in the future. In the meantime the original agree ment will cover new pursuits includ- ing that of the Glenn Springs raid.
 The War Department reports today that a force of CarranZa soldiers was being sent to San Geronimo, and Ojos AZules where American cavalrymen surprised and almost eXterminated a band of Villa followers last week. The attitude of the Carranza forces was said by General Pershing to be friend i ly. A portion of the supplies for Gen eral Pershing sent by rail from the border has reached the advance base, after being delayed at Chihuahua City until General Obregon ordered the shipments released.
 Consul Letcher reports quiet at Chi huahua There is CarranZa garriSor of one thousand men now fin that place. Consul Blocker's message re garding the Glenn Spring fight. said the bodies of Deemer and Coy. the two civilians slain had been found with their throats cut. Other Civilian re- ported killed was the Compton boy. message estimated the force of tho raiders at 100 and said the women of Glenn Springs had been sent to Mara thon, by motor truck.
