Tells of Investigation.

Gen: Juan Barragan. chief of the
presidential staff, is quoted today by
the Excelsior as saying that the gov
ernment has ordered a strict investi-
cation of recent incidents in Tampi-
CO region and the proper punishment
of those guilty of these offenses In
the story containing this interview
the newspaper adds that foreigners
have been presuming too much on
the Immunity they believed was due
to aliens, and venturng into rebel
territory, thereby adding to the diff
fculties of the government and the
military commanders in the disturb
ed zones.
An unnamed government official
also. is quoted as declaring that the
Cheyenne, incident lacks Importance;
that 1t cannot be compared with the
Dolphin incident at Tampco in 1914
during the Huerta regime which re-
suited in the landing of American
forces at Vera Cruz.
The general sentiment here, as re-
fiected by the newspapers, shows
much concern over the present status
Of international relations and also the
outcome of the official conferences at
Washington on the Mexican policy
and tie probable course the Mexican
congress will pursue with regard to
oil legislation.
