WASHINGTON, July X8. Special

lirlof telegram dated yesterday and
received nt the itate dopartmont
onrly today, mIi Iio oxpected (o.bo
bunded Carransa's roply tndny, to tlio
American nolo demanding the re
lease of soldiers token prisoner at
Cardial, i
' The message containing but two
aentencea, waa the first word the

Hodgera alnee he roportetl the do-
livery of the note. It Ald It waa
believed the Mexican authorities
were Investigating the Carrlsal af
fulr, but gave no Indication of what
would be the reply to the American
demunds.
.. Crurliil liny,
Thla waa regarded by Washington
officials aa the crucial day In nego
tiation with Mexico. It waa prob
ubly the laat day allowed General
Carranxa In which to comply with the
Vnlted States' demand for release of
2:t troopera held aa prisoners at
Chihuahua City. If hla reply, either
by act or In a communication doea
not urrlve by tonight, or If it la 1111
Mitlxractory, President Wllaon la de
termined to go before congress,
( prolmldv tomorrow and ask authority
r to rescue the prisoners by for-ce.
An thing ahort or Immediate re
lease of the American troopera will
bo unxatlsfactory. No suggestions or
proponal of negotiation In thia re
gam will be accepted. It waa pointed
out today that Secretary Lanalug's
nolo, presenting the demand aought
to open no discussion of the Carriial
Incident. The fact that the men were
captured and were being held wua
viewed aa a hostile aet, requiring Im
mediate repudiation by the de facto
government.

Mr. Hodgera' atatement that Car

clash waa interpreted here aa Indi
cating rather that the reply would
