From All Parts of United States
Kcxlcan Emlnssy Not Notified of
Receipt of American Note by Car
ranza Cabinet Dkcusscs Ctisis.
WASHINGTON, JHt 7. There
, were clear Indications today that if
V Amorlcan cavalrymen c;ajituHl by
Mexican troops at Cardial were not
released within IS hours, action
would bo taken liy tho I'nited State.
The Impression prevailed In of
ficial circle that President Wilson
would not wait beyond Thursday nt
, tho luteal nnd poaalhly not liHyond to
morrow afternoon for a definite re
ply from the Carranfa aovernment
to tho note demanding the Immediate
release of the prisoners and it de
claration or Intention.
Special A lent Itodgers nt Mexico
City roported In an overnight mes
sage that he liHd delivered the note
to the Mexican foreign office yeater
dny mninlng. While tho diploinntlc
.Malted of the crisis awaltod Car
rauxa'a action, the war department
drove forward It efforts to haaten
mobilisation of the National fluard
on the border. It It certain that no
aggressive military operations can be
undertaken until a substantial num
ber of atate troops Is available to
back up Deneral Funaton's regulars,
who unquestionably would lead any
movement.
Cabinet Considers ("rials.
President Wilson's first step, It ha
ahould decide, to force the Issue
probably would be to lay the whole
situation before congress In Joint
aeeslon. '
Discussion of the Mux lean crlaU
occupied today's brief session of tho
cabinet. When It was over Secre
tary Lansing announced there whs no
change In the situation, that the ad
ministration was awaiting word from
General Oarrauia, and Secretary
I taker and Secretary Daniels said
no army or navy orders had been
given.
Mexican officials here have ex
pressed the opinion that General Car
ransa would surrender the American
prisoners, whatever roply he might
nwke to the demand for a formal
diplomatic expression of his pup
pose.
The state department has had w
official report tending to confirm
this view.
