According to reports, an agreement was reached, on May 3, between General Scott, Chief of Staff of the American army, and General Obregon, Carranza's Minister of War, in conference at Juarez, Mexico, which promises a peaceable settlement of the Mexican difficulty.
Obregon has granted permission for the American expedition to have full use of the Mexican Northwestern Railroad in transporting supplies and men, and has promised to cooperate as fully as possible with General Pershing's forces. In return, General Scott, it is unofficially claimed, has set a 60 day limit on the presence of the American troops in Chihuahua.
The border question now passes out of the hands of the conferees, and whatever remains to be settled rests between Secretary of State Lansing and the Mexican de facto government. Thus the Mexican war cloud, which has been threatening for several weeks, now seems to have been lifted.
