INSTRUCTIONS TO CONSUL Washington Insists That Benton's Body Be Given to Widow. Washington, Feb. 26.—A final at- tempt to force Francisco Villa to sur- render the body of William S. Benton, British ranchman, slain by his orders, is being made. On its success or fail- uire, it is said, hinged the policy of the Wilson administration. The refusal of Villa to turn the body over to Mrs. Benton so that an autopsy could be held has greatly aroused Great Britaln, according to reports here. ' Secretary of State Bryan was at his desk a good part of the night. There was no doubt that he was wor- ried over the inimediate developments, he positively declined to comment in any manner on Villa’s deflant atti- tude. After perusing the message from Consul Letcher at Clithuahua, saying that Villa would let Mrs. Ben- ton look st her dead husbdnd’s face, but would immediately reinter the body, Bryan sent new instructions to the border. These are said to be a renewed demand that Villa turn Ben- ton’s dead body over at once. ! More marines have been sent to Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz.
