Washington, Nov. 25th.—The new flarcup over the Mexican problem, gr(w- ing out of the Jenkins’ case, was given serious consideration today at a meeting of the President’s C binet. There was no intimation as to what this Government might do in the event that President Carranza refused to answer the Note from the State Dept. demanding the immediate release. of Mr. Jenkins, held on charges of conniving with bandits who kidnapped and held him for ransom. No attempt was made to ccneeal the feel- ing that the sitvation was serious and that the relations between the United States and Viexico warestrained. Officials said the tree departments, State, War and Navy, were ready to meet any even- tuality and deal with any situation aris- ing ou. of a more defiant attitude by the Carranza administration toward the Uni- ted Sates. In the absence of advices from the Embassy at Mexico City, offi- cials were not inclined to put much faith in .reports coming byway of Laredo, Texas, that the release of Mr. Jenkins “‘was momently expected’’. There was no word to the deparimen: from the Mexican Em assy here, and while no- body seemed to know what the next day would bring forth, officials said they would not be surprised to hear that Mr. Jenkins actually had been releascd. Meanwhile the Government has checked up the officials and ,private record of Mr. Jenkins and has given him a high class rating. Oificials declared there was no foundation for the charge that he had conspired with the bindits and that imformation from ever, 2-ailable source showed that his statement of his capture and the methods emplioyed by CHRISTIANSTED, V.II.
