Held Up, ‘Washington, March 1.—No examina- tion of the body of William S. Benton, the British subject executed by Gen- eral Villa at Juarez, wiil be made by the commission composed of American ritish ‘government represents tives pending the outcome of an. e change of notes between General C: ranza, chief of the Mexican constitu- tionalists, and the United States gov ernment. General Carranza’s declaration that reat Britain instead of the United Stat ing he death of a British subject, | coupled with the broad intimation that | all communicatfons in interna tional af fairs should first be addressed to him, instead of to General Villa or any oth- er of his subordinates, injected a new complication Into the situation, and the expedition to Chihuahua, arranged to_start from Bl Paso today, was,Dost- péned. Carranza Fails to Understand Situa- tion. President Wilson and an had a long conference, lasting most of the afterncon, reading the notes m Carranza and other despatches Afterwards Secretary Bryan motored to the British embassy and informeid Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British am- | bassador, that the expedition to Chi- ahua, ‘where Benton’s body is bur- ied, had been abandoned until satis- factory arrangements could be made with General Carranza The nature of the imstructions sent to American Cansul Simpich at No- gales, who is in touch with General ‘arranza, was not divulged, but rep- resentatives of Carranza who under- | stand the American viewpoint, were busy telegraphing the constitutional- ist commander tonight, urging a | change of attitude.

That Carranza will realize this and | | change his attitude is the confident ex- pectation ¢f his friends here. Wash- ington officials said they did mot in- terpret Carranza’s notes as unfriend- was offended accepted explanation here of his The principle which the American government has been following in dealing wih General Vilia and others has been one of praciical expedien Its course has been to make rep sentations directly through [American 1s to the authorities, ¢ itary, which happened to be in de facto control of the region where the danger lay. A Bid for Recognition. Tn some quarters Carranza’s susges- tion that he should be first addressed was regarded as a bid for formal rec- ognition. The American government, however. it was stated on the highest authority, holds that recognition could be extended only through formal an- ed intention In dealing with General Carranza it is felt here the United States is merely consulting the man whom Gen- eral Villa savs he acknowledges as ef. The cause of the American govern- will be to apply to those author- m ities or officials whom iocal officers regard as their superiors. No Explanation at Washington. Officials here have not revealed just how the expedition to Chihuahua was stopped, stating ‘merely that it| bad ben postponed until satisfactory | arrangements could be made with| General Carranza. The general _supposition here was that the commissioners then, hesitat- ing to carry out their mission after General Carransa’s utterances pub- }shed In the morning papers, had awsited further ipstructions = from Washington.
