A hint that General Venustlano Car-
ranza may, at the eleventh hour, re
verse his decision not to release the
captured negro troopers of the Tenth
cavalry, and thereby avert war between
the United States and Mexico, was
given out here today by Postmaster
General Burleson.
Following a visit to the White House
early in the day, Burleson said:
"I have reason to believe that the
negroes captured at Carrlzal will be
released shortly."
Burleson refused to intimate where
he had received his information but
declared that it did not come from
Mexico City.

later Calderon of Bolivia that the de
mand for the release of the prisonera

deron then united with other diplo
matic representatives of the Latin
American republics In sending a series
of telegrams to Mexico City, pointing
out that the troopers could not be
considered prisoners of war Inasmuch
as war between the United States and
Mexico had not been declared. Car
ranza was urged to reconsider bis de
cision. Washington, June 28. (U. P.) Gen
eral Carranza must release the Ameri

go after them.

Is another question. The president,
they declare, ia solely Interested in get
ting some 24 soldiers wearing Ameri
can uniforms out of the penitentiary
at Chihuahua City.
Congress, and in fact all official
Washington, is awaiting quietly, and
with a calm which approaches seeming
unconcern, Carranea's reply.
There Is a feeling that the Mexican
firat chief will yield. It Is known
positively he Intended to release the
prisoners at first.
Danger in the situation lies in the
possibility of Carranza asking for "an
exchange of prisoners."
Should Carranza take this position,
or otherwise delay freedom of the
American prisoners, . the president
would follow the course of action al
ready definitely determined upon. It
would not Include a declaration of
war. It would mean the rescue of the
American soldiers by force, if neces
sary, however long and arduous the
effort. The president would outline
bis intended course to congress and
ask support for the program.

and Mexican commander Gomes, how
ever. Secretary Baker refused to re
gard It as the final word of the sit

mony of the battle and to gain what
ever possible information can be had
from surviving officers.
The Morey report was taken to
President Wilson during the day.. The

to the demands, however, is the real
determining element of the entire prob
