CARRANZA REFUSES|S > INFORMATION ON BENIN s gc . re Declines to Give Information er About Killing of Britisher. t HE EXLAINS HIS VIEWS. !f M di Had No Direct Representation From w Kngland, Hence Cannot Conn- ('1 ail tcnance Those of United Stat^. rp Nogale8, Mex., Feb. 28.?Gen Car- M rants today declined to furnish to the w state department at Washington in1 formation regarding the killing at . narez of the British subject, William ? S. Benton. At the same time he gave " assurances to Secretary Bryan that ' he would investigate the disappear- ^ nice near Juarez of Gustavo Baunch, . an American. This strongly defined stand came f after three days of negotiation be- j tween the American secretary of state and the constitutionalist com- ()l raander through Frederick Simpich, American consul at Nogales, and Rydro Fabela, acting secretary of forei- | gn relations in Carranza's provisio- . to nnl onblnet. \ ni Until late today, Gen. Carranza had h w remained silent regarding his stand ta on Secret ray Bryan's request made ; si three days ago, for information of i in Benton's death. ti TWO AT ONCE. i Another message arrived today from Secretary Bryan in which he re quesipn immediate information about .j the disappearance of Bauneh. Cnrranza's rpplips wore madp to both queries at the same time. 'fj The revolutionary leaders say that the death of ltenton a British sub I / ieet should be taken up through the ! diplomatic channels of his country. The fact that England has recognized the Iltierat central government not , mentioned in the reply, hut occasion-/, ed much speculation among those ' familiar with the stituation. Carranza in his reference to the Benton case, i . pointedly remarked that Secretary [ '' * Bryan's original message had been the first official mention of the matter brought to his attention as head " of the revolution. ANNOUNCES INQUIRY. (1( In the written massage to Secretary Bryan, which was addressed to Con- ic sul Simpich Carranza did not say that ti any investigation of the Benton case gi was being made on his part. How- r? over, simultaneously with the two c( notes to Washington, Secretary Fa- pi bela issued a statement saying that Benton's death was being investigated ni for the benefit of the constitutional- ii . 1st party. p' All correspondence on the Mexican ti side of the matter was given to the si Associated Press with the statement 01 of Senor Fabela that the Benton case ti was being investigated for the infer- is mat ion of Gen. Carranza. or perhaps in case England should request the ii (let Lit. \V This.it was pointed out, would put R' England in tlie position of either ar rt tually recognizing the constitutional- >'( 1st party in spite of the previous ree- I7 ogizltion of Heurta, or being unable 1' to obtain information regarding the welfare of its subjects in territory controlled by the insurgents. Senor Fabela. when pressed for more ample i information on the Benton case said: "Carranza has offlciallly Informed the department of Htate at Washington that he only could attend to rep- J resentations regarding the Benton -ease if presented to him by n duly auv thorized representative of the British government but nevertheless in his ca paclty as supreme court of the con- IH stitutionnlist army, upon learning of the case of the British subject, William S. Benton, has ordered an immediate investigation of the facts of the case and requested telegraphic ! information from the local authorities ^ at Juarez asking them to send him a full report on the case. WANTS RECOGNITION. j ftl "Carranza's attitude in the Benton ft| and Baunch cases in not accepting the 11 representation made ny tne a men- ? can government Instead of the British (f government in the case of a Brit- I Ish subject and his reply at once with . ' j deep interest to the representations r made to him through a duly author- ci tsed representative in the case of an j w American, goes to prove clearly that what Carranza desires is to have the national dignity and his position as K< supreme chief of the constitutionalist |r army respected, hut at the same time he does not wish by any moans to j elude representations made to him in due form and according to interna- ni tfonal law. ! if] Geu Carranza'n reply to Mr I'ryan's w request lor information of the iHiuu'n i case reads as follows: ? i "I have received through the acting secretary of the department or for- ^ ejgn affairs the telegram which the tl Honorable secretary of state Wil- ' pj Ham Jennings Btvan, addressed to . you today relative the Baunch case. .
