THE MEXICAN TANGLE.
PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES A STATEMENT. (Bt Electric Telegraph—Copy*ight.) (Per Press Association.) WASHINGTON, March 3. President Wilson, in receiving prominent callers, gave the impression that he fully realised the gravity of the Mexican situation and pointedly referred to certain eventualities which might mean taking a drastic course. It i 6 understood that if Britain allows Benton's case to await adjudication until a stable Government is established in Mexico the United States will agree to that course. President Wilson emphasised that foreign nations had no right to demand that the United States look' after their nationals. If Carranza insists on the right not to deal with any Government in the interests of any other Government a very grave situation would be produced whereas the United States would be compelled to take action. BENTON'S BRUTAL MURDER. (Times and Sydney Sun Services.) Received March 4, 9 a.m WASHINGTON, March 4. Mr Bryan's official report states that Benton waited two hours to soe General Villa.
