CARRASZA DECLARES HE IS SUPREME HEAD Asserts That He is Chief and Must Be Consulted First in Regard to All Matters of Foreign Relations. Nogales, Mex., March 2.?Gen. Venustiano Carranza, supreme chief of the constitutionalists, t3day upfceld the action of Gen. Villa in haltv i ing the commission investigating the death of the British subject. William S. Benton. He took the stand that requests for any information regarding Benton's death should come to him as _ directing head of the revolution I . through the diplomatic agents of Great Britian. This had "been ex- ' plained as his stand in the matter in j the last communication to the State department at Washington which had asked and been refused information about the Benton case. In a statement issued by Ysador Fabela, acting secretary of foreign \ relations, Gen. Carranza s stand was I given as follows: Ordered to Keep Off. "Gen. Villa has received orders j \ from Mr. Carraza not to deal in bus- j iness of an international character. , In view of this order, Gen. Villa sue- j pended all negotiations wi:h the; ( American and English representatives I and suspended the pass far the com-! j mission tU go ii uui j uair^ w vicn the body of Benton. 1? The Benton incident held all the attention of the constitutionalists th commandtr-in-chief during the day. x, For the fir.-t time he summoned the pe entire membership of his provisionalj w cabinet to consider tie matter. It fr was understood that Carranza's pre- B< Tious stand in the Benton affair had si * * been taken without discussion before the entire cabinet, although some of - - - - - - * * _ ? Y - ! his individual aavisers naa Deen uuu- ai suited. y. Difference of Opinions. m It was said that there was a di- pi versity of opinion in regard to ihe .halting of the Benton investigation commission at El Paso. Gen. Car- ^ ranza issued no statement throwing jr any new light oil the matter. Translations of the Assiciated Press dispatches from Washington m dealing with the attitude of the Wil- ru i di son administration were read with i -u I til IIIUCU UilCJCOL. It was said that no answer had been received from the State depart- in ment at Washington to the last note e sent through Frederick Simpich, con- j 01 sul at Nogales. 111 Gen. Alvaro Obrengon, commander of the northwestern military zone, left tonight for Hermosillo. ki It has been announced he will ac-iJe company Gen. Carranza into Chihua- jtc hua, which State is included in Ob- ** regon's command. Obregon, it was ^ said, would conduct an expedition a] along the west coast to tlie South. | mm* in REALIZES THE GRAVITY tl OF MEXICAN SITUATION ei b< Wilson Sees Delteaey of Problem li Which Cottfronts the United States, ai hi i "Washington, March 2.?President Wilson revealed to those who discussed Mexican affairs with him today that ei he fully realizes the gravity of the hi situation resulting from the killing of a! Willam S. Benton, a British subject, ni the reported murder of Gustav Bauch d< and Clemente Vergara, American cit- j izens, and Gen. Carranza's denial of i jr the right of the United States to look j 0] after the interests of foreigners gen- a] erally in Mexico. The president spoke a, deploringly of armed intervention, but p] at the samfe time pointedly referred e] to.the size and power of a country like the United States as being sufficient ^ warrant for a calm and patient course, j jjj while compliance with the American j demands was being sought. Callers j ^ got the impression from the president i g, that he was determined to try every ! j peaceful means at his disposal to solve ^ the Mexican problem, but that he realized certain eventualities might mean j r. I a drastic course. He spoke with a firmness that showed his determination, t not to be stampeded into action by radical speeches in congress, but with a hint that when the necessity arose. ^ the American government could be ^ expected to move decisively and efw fectively. Much Depends on England. . Upon Great Britian's attitude to-? I OJ wards the Benton case depends large- i ly the extent to which the United j ' States will become involved. ' Should i,. ! hj England show inclination to let the,^ Benton case .await final adjudication j at a time when a firm government is 1 established in Mexico the United j States will not feel called upon to . ir challenge Gen. Carranza' specific re- "" fusal to supply the Washington ad- ' ministration with information about 111 "Benton's death. ^ Representations have been made to Gen.

The Washington administration, )wever,.is taking it for granted that rangements authorized by Gen. ilia for the departure of tJhe comission to Chihuahua soon will be ap'Dvea by Carranza. Bryan Says little. "We are waiting for the details to i completed," said Secretary Bryan, was his only comment. Administration officials realize that not ccmunicating first with Carnza they have offended his personal gnity, ana tney nope iy ovea-umc lis by consulting him now, impressg upon the constitutionalist chief, cidentally, that the American gov nment does not think formalities lgfjt to stand in |'ne way of obtaing proper protection for foreigners. Gen. Carranza's declaration thai >reign governments should address :m about the welfare of their subcts led to a visit to Secretary Bryan >day by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the ritish ambassador, and Senor Riano, Le Spanish ambassador. Both Spain id England have recognized the Hula government and have been lookig to the United States to act for lem in northern Mexico. There is rery indication that this course will 3 continued and it is clearly estab* shed that Carranza's manoeuvre will Dt lead the British government into ly recognition or other dealing with im. Only Asking for It. President Wilson explained to call :s that many foreign governments ad desired the United States to look fcer their subjects, but of course had o right to demand it and were not ?manding it. Strictly speaking, Carranza migk; tsist on his right not to deal with tie government in the interests oi aother, but such a situation unoubtedly would produce grave com[ications with the United States gov:nment, upon whom fee powers oi ^ ?1 Vt n T< n 1 rtr\ /-vrl i/\ 1 Arvlr A i' IE WUliU xxavc xcttiiicu cu luua arte dominant factor in Pan-American Iplomacy. Carranza once before has suggested lat Spain instead of ihe United tatss should address him directly )out the welfare of Spanish subjects, it on that occasion, assurances were ven that all foreigners would be procted. The Benton case is the first jecific refusal in regard to the inrested government in the case in the ibject of another country. Gen. Villa's avknowledgment of en. Carranza as his superior in aulority bas declared all doubt as to hom is chief of the constitutionalist lovement and has relieved the Washigton government of the necessity I considering that point. Hereafter, 5 Gen. Carranza requests, internaonal questions will be taken up with im. He also will be called to account >r all harm to foreigners. Teachers Meeting March 7th.
