When President Wilson ni t with his cabinet today, just efore hav ing for New York to deliver an ad dress, the unfavorable private report had not reached him and then were practically no new developments in the Mexican crisis- to be considered. Military preparations are being rushed to completion, howevtr, tit diplomatically there is nothing to lie done until General ( 'arran.a's reply is received or it becomes apparent that he will not reply wi'hin a nas imable time. The Mexican ami assa 'or called on Secretary (.ansing tarly today to communicate formally the informa tion that his government had ordered the release of the American troops captured at Carrizal. A licit f talk followed, during' which Secrttary Lansing tot!; occasion to make it plain that the Washington govern ment expected an early reply to the note . forwarded to Mexico City last Monday. The ambassador was im pressed with the fact that the State Department was growing impatient at the delay. 8 WAP All members of the cabinet agree I j sifter the meeting today that both the situation and the policy of the United i States were unchanged as a lesult :' recent developments.

JHCII VET TO SLTTLK. ( nited States Waiting for a Full Re- I ply to the Washington Note. I Washington, June 'Jib- The Wash ington Government still uwaited to night full compl ance with its de mani's by the tie facto authorities of Mexico. Release today by Genreal Carranza's order of the Amtrican prisoners taken at Carrizal has avert ed the probability of immediate retal iatory steps. It is possible that it has also helped to pave the way toward an attempt at peace setKement of the whole bonier situation. High officials made it very clear, however, that the vital point at issue, the future atti tude of Mexican forces toward Amtr ican troops in northern Mexico en : gagetl in guading the border and pur suing ibandits who raided American , territory remains to be settltd An I'nusual Course. The State Department had no ad vices tonight as to when a diplomatic vino uirecung mat American troops De attacKea w tney moved in any direction in Mexico except toward the border.

I Apparently Secretary Lansing is determined to get a clear statement of intentions on which action ihy the United States can be founded. Carranza officials profess an earn est desire to avoid a clash, however, and a further struggle to fix diplo matically responsibility for hostilities that may come is foreshadowed. U. S.
