A War Department order received

San Antonio.-A copy Of manifesto
calling upon President Carranza to re-

Robes Dominguez, prominent engi-
neer and, former adviser Of President

Carranza is responsible for all the in

danger of American Intervention in
Mexico is not yet passed. The Senate
and Chamber Of Deputies discussed
the situation in secret session.
Washington.-Presid Wilson has
not yet replied to Carranza's request
that American troops be withdrawn
from the bandit chase in Mexico.
1t was generally believed In official
quarters that the Carranza protest
would be answered after the American
expedition has been given ample time
to search the Mexican north country
for the bandits. When answer final
ly is made the troops probably will
have returned to United States SOIL.
The reply, 1t is believed, will ex-
press regret that 1t is necessary for
this government to send troops into
Mexico, but will also say that troops
will be sent whenever circumstances
demand their presence to protect
Americans or to run down criminals.
