June 28.—Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City, in a brief telegram dated yesterday and received at the State De partment early to-day, said he expected to be handed to-day Car ranza's reply to the American note demanding the release of soldiers taken prisoner at Carrizal. 1 he message containing but two sentences, was the first word the department had heard from Mr. Rodgers since he reported the delivery of the note. It said it was believed the Mexican authorities were investigating the Carrizal affair but gave no indication of what would be the reply to the American demands. To Go Before Congress To-morrow There was nothing to indicate to-day that the Washington government's position had undergone any change. Officials still expect President Wilson to go to Congress to-morrow if Carranza failed to act or replied unfavorably. Anything short of immediate release of the American troopers will be unsatisfactory. No sug gestions or proposal of negotiations in this regard will be accepted. It was pointed out to-day that Sec retary Lansing's note presenting the demand sought to open no discussion of the Carrizal incident. The fact that the men were captured and were being held was viewed, as a hostile act re quiring immediate repudiation by the de facto government through release of the prisoners. Believe Reply Is Unfavorable Mr. Rodgers' statement that Car ranza officials appeared to be conduct ing an inquiry into the Carrizal clash was interpreted here as indicating rather that the reply would support previous assertions that American troops were responsible than that a change of attitude was to be expected. While it will not affect the general policy of the government, a final re port on the Carrizal fight from Gen eral Pershing is awaited here with in terest. The only account of Captain Morey must be supplemented by that of troopers who were with Captain Boyd. A board of officers may be as signed by General Pershing to as semble a report based on the stories of all commanders. Eliseo Arredondo, the Carranza am bassador designate, still had received no word early to-day from his chief about the status of the diplomatic ne gotiations.
