Jan. 14.—Gen-! pral Carranza to-day telegraphed his \ ambassador here as follows from bis headquarters at Queretaro: "The murderous atlaek on the pas senger train near Chihuahua was made by the only remaining hand of outlaws in that region. This hand is being pursued by my troops with a x lew to insure its eapture whereupon punishment, whieh their I'rltne de serves. will lie applied to every guilty j f participant. ••Troops of the eonstitntionalist gov- j eminent have been ordered to estab listi patrol front end to end of the railroad line in order to guard against j a similar outrage."

Senator Works, Republican, intro-, duced a resolution proposing armed ( intervention, and declared that Con gress should share with the President I the responsibility for whatever is j done. State Department dispatches added | practically nothing new to the situa- i tion In Mexico. Committed Crime "It would be monstrous for the j United States to go to war in Mexico j at such time as this," declared Sen- ' ator Stone, after his return to the! t'apitol. "We have recognized a gov ernment and it would be absurd to rush in without giving that govern ment a chance to suppress and punish the bandit bands that have murdered! American citizens. 1 think that \mericans who venture into such j places and Americans who venture forth on belligerent ships into war i /.ones are committing a crime against l the government whose protection they! seek. Of course, we must try to pro- j tect them. They have a technical ie- | gal right to go into dangerous places ! hut they should not do it. if possible , to avoid it and thus embarrass the United States."
