With the monetary problem already acute, the food shortage in Mexico City and vi cinity continuing without prospect of any immediate relief and with the lab or strike extending over practically all the Mexican railway lines, the de fac to Government is pictured as facing serious domestic plight. First hand’ reports as to the situa tion in Northern Mexico will reach the department tomorrow. Consul Letcher, from Chihuahua City, is en route to Washington, presumably bringing with him a synopsis of the reports of five other consuls recently ordered to the border to talk over conditions with military officials there. It was stated officially that, while Mr. Letcher would make his report on conditions in Mexico, he was also or dered here that routine matters might be taken up with him. No inkling of their nature was given out. New Note Coming. The department today received fur ther advices from Special Agent Rod gers, at Mexico City, telling of the new note which will be handed to Sec retary Lansing by Eliseo Arrendon- do, ambassador designate. He threw no light on its purport. While reports as to the domestic situation of the Carranza Government are gloomy, the attitude of Mexican officials towards the United States has been described as more friendly since the border military conference. It is believed possible this will be reflect ed in the new note. Since the State department's repre- ty offices made speeches. 1t“1r ShfiT sentatTons as to the renewed raiding Dr. W. R.

Of ficials here, including Secretary Baker say the border military conference left the situation unchanged as to steps to be taken with regard to new raids. The State department holds that the original agreement • proposed by Gen. Carranza and accepted by Sec retary Lansing fully covers Col. Sib ley’s drive into Mexico after the Bo- quillas raiders. Perplexing Situation. Reports from Gen. Funston that 116 members of the Texas National Gdard had refused to take the mustering oath and enter the federal service un tier the President’s call brought mem bers of Congress from that State to the war department today to find out what action was in contemplation They were told the matter had not yet reached Secretary Baker for consider atibh. Mr. Baker’s military advisers are preparing recommendations for him. They appear to agree that the men are subject to Court-martial un der the existing militia law, and it is known that some.officers believe they should be tried and fined as a warn ing to National Guardsmen in general that they are undertaking a serious responsibility in joining the organiza tion.
