No Word Received Relative
To Mexico S Note Answer

Washington, Dec. 11.-Neither the
state department nor Mexican Ambas-
sador Bonillas had any word as to
when there will be reply from Mex
leo to the last American note relative
to Consular Agent Jenkins.
A crisis is believed to be near in
Mexican internal affairs. Carranza
had a special train at Tacuba for a
fortnight ready for immediate depar-
ture from Mexico City, according to
adyices here.
These preparations apparently are
due to a belief that clash is likely
at any time between the Carranza
forces and those of General Obregon,
the strongest candidate for president
at the elections next July.
