U. S. TO INSIST OUlUUiON
SHOW HANlJ IN VILLA HUNT,
WASHINGTON, April 28, Olllclals here
base all their hopes of the future rela
tions between the United Stacs and Alex
Ico on the outcome of tho'cotifercnce about
to bo held between Major llenefftl Scott,
chief of staff of the American army, and
General Ubiegon, Mexlcun War .Minister.
On account of Ucncrat Scott's aptitude
(ib a diplomat and previous success In
conducting negotiations with the Mexi
cans, omclals believe he will bo nble to
obtain, ns satisfactory assurances from
Obregon nB nny one can.
General Scott's Instructions from "Wash
ington will, however, require firmness as
well as tact In dealing with tho Mexican
War Minister. Obrcgon f I be told very
frankly that the present mission In Mex
ico will Hot be considered concluded, until
either tho Amerlcnns or the forces of the
do facto Government have captured Villa
or forever ended his power. Tho Mexican
general will be told further that tho cap
turo of Villa will be a condition precedent
to tho withdrawal of the American expe
dition. .Moreover, General Obrcgon will bo given
to understand that the forces of tho de
facto Government must guarantee that
thero will be no recurrence of border
raids such as have menaced tho American
frontier for the last five years.
General Scott Is likely to use somo
plain language concerning the character
of tho "co-operation" from Carranza sol
diers, which thus far during General
Pershing's expedition may be described ao
Indifference, downright hostility nnd
treachery. Obrcgon wilt bo mado to un
derstand that If his forces do not co
operate tho United States must go It alone
until the object of the punitive expedition
has been ncocinpllshed.
As General Carranza has always been
lobstlnato nnd discourteous in his dealings
With tho United States, more Is hoped for
from tho negotiations with Obregon. Oh
regon, who Is an astute politician as well
os a soldier. It is pointed out in State De
partment circles, cannot fall to see tho
abject plight In which tho Carranza Gov
ernment finds Itself. With rumors ofln
creasing unfriendliness between Carranza
and Obrcgon still persisting, officials lfcru
believe that Obregon. thduclit by many to
be the logical successor to the present do j
mem nrHi v;mci, win do we lasi man to
antagonize tho United Stntes.
Aside from horpo for Carranzlsta con
cessions, urmy men drnw fresh optimism
today from the possibility that Villa
...but "w uii uun II 111 lliu jiiuum.tins went
of Parral. The only thing to hinder our-
sult Is the Jaded condition of General
Pershing's mounts. But some recalled
Dodd's dash and thought there might lis
a duplication of It.
