! Washington, Nov. 29.-The Mexican
| situation marked time today while the
government continued to gather fur
| ther information on the Jenkins case
and the murder OF william T. Wal
| lace at Tampico Wednesday. The
Identity of the murdered man had not
been established tonight.
The Jenkins case and the Wallace
case are being treated separately and
in no way being connected at present.
The state department already had
directed the American embassy in
Mexico City to make inquiries of the
Carranza government and forward fur
ther information of the new phases of
the jenkins case raised in the MeXi-
can not declining to accede to the
quest for the release of the consular
agent.
In the Wallace murder case the gov
ernment has about all the information
considered necessary, and the interval
is being used in framing the details of
course of action.
A note to Carranza, which some Of
ficials think will be about the last, was
being drafted in the state department
today and so far as could learned, it
had not been forwarded to Mexico City
tonight. 1t had been drafted prelimi-
narily and during the day had been re-
drafted. The department was in hour
ly communication with the embassy in
Mexico City and when the offices
Mexico City and when the office closed
been received.
Senators and representatives gath
ering for the reconvenning of congress
were showing active interest in the
course of the situation and there were
some indications that 1t might be dis
cussed in both chambers Monday.
Reports direct from Mexico City dis
crediting yesterdays border rumors of
an uprising with fighting in the
streets, served to simplify the situa-.
ton in that they removed one compli-
eating factor and left the issue clean
cut one involving only the. continued
murder and molestation of Americans.
There was no outward indication of
whether President Wilson would touch
on the subject in his message to con-
gress next week.

used with no casualties.
Some weeks ago a child was killed
and bystanders and paraders wounded
in a similar fight. Luis Cabrera, min
'ster of hacienda. used the incident in
his argument recently to postpone the
elections next year and keep Carranza
in power indefinitely. At the same
time he asked congress to continue
the 1920 budget beyond the end of the
year. owing to the probability that the
new congress would not have been in
stalled or president elected by that
