General Scott read with Interest the
Washington gossip that American

by tho allies in China during tho Boxer

He has received no orders, he said, to

which arrived In Chihuahua today to
try to persuade General Villa to bo more
frank In his dealings with American au
thorities lnthe Benton and Bauch mat
ters, found a holiday In full swing there
had reported apolgetlcally that for
that reason they were unable to confer
with General Villa.
Situation. Broadened.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The Mexi
can situation which has centered for
the last few days upon efforts to de
termine how and If constitutionalists ex
ecuted William S. Benton, a British sub
ject, was broadened tonight when Con
sul Oarrctt at Nuevo Laredo was in
structed to inquire Into the hanging by
Moxlcan federals of Clemente Vergara,
an American cltlxen.
Tho consul was directed by the SUto
department to demand the body from
officers of the Huerta government In the
vicinity of Hidalgo, Mexico, where
Vergara was killed. Earlier in the day
Marlon Letcher, American consul at
Chihuahua, had been Instructed to in
sUt that General Villa permit the de
livery of the body of Benton to the
widow for burial where she may wish.
These, with an explanation by Secre
tary Bryan to the senate foreign real
tions committee, of all tho information
on the Benton Incident and Mexico gen
erally, In the hands of the State de
partment, constituted the principal di
velopments of the day.
No Heply b La it Ileaurst.
General Villa's message of last night
offering to permit the widow of Benton
or relative and on American olftclal to
see the body when exhumed la being
taken to mean by the American govern
ment that a complete medical examina
tion may be performed. Secretary Bryan
told the senators that the Tnlted States
was Insisting that two American repre
sentatives be permitted to see the body
and that one of these be an army sur
geon. He also has made inquiry as to
whero the grave is located. General
Villa up to lato tonight had not replied
to the last request of Secretary Bryan
for the surrender of Benton's body, but
it la understood that the British ambas
sador, Sir Cecil gprlng-Rlce, for the
pi went will be satisfied it there Is an
opportunity for an autopsy which would
determine whether Benton was shot "by
a pistol bullet or by rifle bullets from a
firing squad.
Comment from London,
LONDON, Feb. 2C The London news
papers are still keenly absorbed In the
Benton affair. The Dally Graphic In an
editorial says:
"If the United States wilt not help In
the protection of peaceable Englishmen
In Mexico the British government ought
to warn Washington that we hold our
selves free to exact reprisals if and
when an opportunity may offer."'
The Daily Chronicle contends that
there Is no doubt that Benton was foully
nfurdcred and that no foreigner's life is
safe within General Villa's jurisdiction.
But, adds the Chronicle, nobody believes
tho United States will Intervene or rec
