Tt Is learned from an authoritative

George C. Carothers. Vice-Consul, is
known to have had an Interview with
General Carranza on the Spanish ques

emerged he was besieged by anxious
Inquiries as. to tho status of the inci
dent, but he rushed to his automobile
without answering questions, shaking
his head negatively.
The purport of the conference be
came known, however, through sources
which hitherto have proved reliable.
It was said that Consul Carothers in
formed Carranza that the summary
expulsion of the Spanish residents was
viewed gravely at Madrid and without
favor at Washington. The general re
plied that evidence of Spanish conspi
racy against the revolution was over
whelming In all parts of the country.
and that their expulsion was not only
Just but the part of wisdom.

He pointed out that popular suspicion
against these foreigners was so deep
seated that their expulsion at least
would remove them from danger at
the hands of an incensed soldiery. The
troops generally are well under disci
pline, he explained, but Individual ex
ceptions were to be considered.
The policy of tho expulsion Includes
11 Spanish subjects in Mexico. Many
Spaniards are naturalized Mexicans and
they are not embraced In the general
order, although many of them have al
ready fled the country and others are
under suspicion.
