Wilson Placates Carranza
- . \
| To Limit Zone of Trouble
; By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN.
. (Staff Correspondent of the International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Elaborate precautions were
taken by high administration officials to-day to limit the trouble
zone in Mexico. The United States was very desirous that the
Mexican people be reassured and that First Chief’’ Carranza be
placated. The White House let it be known that the Carranza
suggestion for a reciprocity agreement would be accepted as a
matter of expediency. By doing so the United States would be
emphasizing its original declaration that it was acting only in
support of the regularly constituted authorities of Mexico and
the result must be advantageous.
The only obstacle was the point raised by eertani Senators
that such an agreement would be in most respects a treaty and
“eould only be legalized by the consent of the Senate. The Presi
dent conferred with Senators Stone and Saulsbury, Speaker
Pmrk and Majority Leader Kitchin and Attorney Gieneral Greg
%ow on the subject before going inte a final conference with See.
retary of State Lansing this afternoon. They agreed that in
asmuch as no question of sovereignty was involved, the President
[m!d make the arrangement as ‘‘a matter of expediency,”’ al
ithough at least three of the conferees indicated that the matter
really was in donbt.
[ Senator Stone, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
;Committoe, is understood to have suggested that while expedien
ey was a good argument, the President easily could ask the Sen-
Elte to confirm the proposed agreement and thus clear up all
gdonbtful legal rights. But, on the other hand, the intimation had
been strongly conveyed to the President that if he did so his action
would start a general Mexican debate in the Senate that would
lmont certainly get out of hand and might result in serious con
sequences,

Secrecy Leads to Rumors. |
The governmental departments
were filled with wild rumors to-day.
The absolute secrecy which the Ad
ministration has forced in all of the
negotiations and movements of troops
was responsible for wild stories of ac
tion. One report declured that the

General Carranas, but this promptly

HIHaT CHIEF INGI3TS ON
RECIPROGAL AGREEMENT
MEXICO CITY, March 13.—General
Carranza, Constitutionalist First Chief,
has issued the following manifesto to
the Mexican people ftom Queretaro,
his provisional capital:
Because of the assault which
Francisco Villa and the bandits
who accompanied him made on
the town of Columbus, in Ameri
can territorv, burning houses and
killing some of the inhabitants,
soldiers as well as civilians, the
international situation in these
moments i 8 very delicate, as the
North American press have excit
ed their people against Mexico,
and the @Qovernment of that
country has discussed the situa
tion in the American Congress,
members of which have advised
intervention.
The Constitutional Government
which 1 have the honor to repre
sent is also occupied diligently in
an effort to solve this delicate sit
nation, trying at all costs to maln-~
tain the dignity and sovereignty
of Mexico, and we yet hope that
this lamentalile incident may be
detorously uarranged, and that
there will be no reason for inter‘-
national conflict. ¢
I have addressed the Govern
ment of the TUnited States,
through the Forelgn Office, stat
ing that the invasion of Villa has
historical precedents, as in the
vears 1880 and 1886 two parties of
Indians coming from the United
States invaded Stm‘;‘ra and Chi
huahua, committing crimes and
depredations on the lives and
properties of Mexicans.
It was then agreed betweén tha
Governments of the two countries
to permit the respective passage
of armed foreces, resuiting in the
exterminating of the Indians, I
have asked the American Govern
ment to pursue a like course in
order to solve future difficulties,
should they arise, noting that
Villa and his companions are a
group of bandlits, whose acts the
Mexican Government or people
would not be responsible for, and
that this reproachable conduct is
due to instigations of the reac
tionary element, that, lacking pa
triotism and convinced of its de
feat, is trying by all means to
bring on armed intervention.
I have not yet received the an
swer of the American Govern
ment, and from the reports of my
chiefs along the frontier I learn
that the American forces are
mohilizing to pursue and eaptura
and deliver him to the Mexican
authorities: that the expedition is
in the nature of a punitive eam
paign, and that the sovereignty
of Mexico will be respected,

that not- for an instant will the

that the Mexican people will

traitors, within and without our
country, who have labored long to
produce this result, and upon their
heads will fall the inexorable jus
tice of the Mexican people.
