Associated Pi CSS luspatch
Washington, Mar. 9. American
warships wee being dispatched’ to
Mexican waters today as the latest
move on tho part of the American
government in the Mexican crisis.
This action, officials hoped, would
bring assurances from Gen. Carran-
za thnt conditions in Mexico City,
which have become acule, would be
ameliorated.
The sending of war vessels fol
lowed vigorous representations do
Gen. Carranza demanding prompt
Ittrptovement in conditions as affect-
ing foreigners and their interests in
Mexican territory under Ms *cont rot.
Failure to comply, he was warned
would be followed by such action ns
the American government thought
necessary to obtain the desired pro-
tection.
It was confidently expected in ad-
ministration circles today that the
latest steps taken by the American
government would cause a change
in the attitude of Gen. Carranza
towards foreigners. tn diplomatic
quarters the belief quite generally
prevailed that the latest representa-
tions to Carranza were a clear ini
plication to him that force might
be employed unless conditions
weep bettered.
Much concern is felt among
officials for the welfare of the 25.-
foreigners in Mexico i tty, 2,500
of them Americans, who are threat-
t ned with riots and famine in con-
> equenee of the announced inten
.Gon of Gen. Carranza to order tho
evacuation oi the city by Gen. Ob-
regon’s forces.
