CABIN KT CONSIDERS CRISIS.
WASHINGTON. D. C.; March 10.—
The cabinet officials were in conf r
enoe at an unprecedentedly early
hoar this morning with President
Wilson. It was the first which Sec
retary of War Baker attended, but
General Scott was there to take ac
tive charge of the situation for the
War Department. The admlnistra
tion decided that the bandits must
he exterminated whether Carranza
gives an opportunity run them down
or not. The officials openly expres
sed the fear that the Mexican pub
lic will force General Carranza to re
fuse his permission to American
troops to cross the border to get
Villa, although nothing Is certain

the affair.
PRESIDENT ISSUES STATEMENT.

TWELVE THOUSAND TROOPS
ARE ORDERED INTO MEXICO
President Wilson issued the follow
ing statement from the White House
at noon today as the members of
the cabinet were departing from
their conference with him:
“An adequate force will be sent
at once in pursuit of Villa with the
single object of capturing him and
putting a stop to his forays. This
can be done and will be done in an
entirely friendly aid of the constitu
ted authorities in Mexico, and with
scrupulous respect for the sovereign
ty of that republic."
It is reported that the President
is still opposed to armed interven
tion, but having at last decided that
the peace of both Mexico and the
United States is imperilled by the
continuous activities of Villa. Wil
son himself says that the govern
ment officials were unanimous that
Villa be caught.
DOUBTFUL, IF VILLA THERE.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 10.—
Some perplexity la apparent in the
inquiry from the officials if Villa
really had a hand in the Mexican
raids. As far as can be gathered,
the men claim to be Villatistas but
there has been no evidence brought
forward to show that Pancho Villa
himself took a hand in it.
LOS ANGELES, March 10.—Villa’s
wife who is here declaros emphati
cally that her husband neither in

across the border to capture or kill
the bandits. General Scott announ-1

the border now under Funston.
Scott insists that tho expedition Is
strictly punitive and will deal with
those bandits whom Carranza Is us
able to control. There Is some
anxiety owing to the railurc of the
Mexican government to roply to
Lansing’s Interrogations, but It Is
realized here now that tho United
Statos will not draw back.

a vestige of the German fleet.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.—All
United States troopa In the western
district have received orders to get
ready. While it is intended that the
expedition to Mexico shall be a puni
tive one merely, public feeling may
call upon Carranza to fight the
United States and it would tax the
regular resources i.vallablo to tho
limit.

militia to get ready for active ser
vice.

sand five hundrod milltlamon are

resolution in the Senate providing
for half a million volunteers to be
recruited for the purpose of ‘“po
Ilcing*’ Mexico.
All seem to accept the inevitabil
ity of the administration's step lead
ing to a direct war with Moxico, as
the Mexicans will not admit the
right of any expeoltion to Invade
Mexico, punitive or otherwise.
MEXICAN SILENCE SIGNIFICANT
NEW YORK, March 10.—Moxico
so far has not boon officially heard
from in the matter of the Columbus
raid and the intention of the United
Statse to lnvaae Mexican soil to
punish the bndlts. In some circles
the fear is still heard that the raid
was expressly engineered for tho
purpose of forcing intervention.
Carranza statements to that effect
are still remembored here. Tha
general belief undoubtedly prevails
in unofficial as well as official quar
ters that tho raid will result in %
general war between the United
States and Mexico. So far the mat
ter has not brought any statement
from any of the A. B. C. Powers
who might take a similar step to
that taken when the port of Vera
Cruz was occupied.
KXCITEMENT DAMENED BY IK
TERE8T IN EUROPEAN WAR.
NEW YORK. March 10.— Groat
interest is takon in the Moxlcan
crisis which the government faces,
but there io an absence of popular
excitement which might have been
expected hr.d this taken place sev
erel years ago. The European war
still occupies a prominent portion
of the papers, and tho Mexican mat*
ter Is not regarded In any sensa
tional light by the vast majority.
The people do not yet realize the
approach of a general war in Mexico
and will not be impatient until a
statement is made by tho Carranza
government which Is oxpocted in offi
cial circles shortly.
