Relations Between United States and Mexico Are
 Strained INSULT TO THE FLAG Is the Grayest Offense Says Secretary knOx-MexicO Also Makes
 Demands.

Washington, Dr. C., Nov. 10.-The relations between Mexico and the United States are dangerously strain ed by reason of the demands made on the United States by Mexico for re- parations for the lynching of Ro1ri- guez by American citizens and de- mands made on the Mexican govern ment by Ambassador Wilson, backed up by the State Department, for an apology and reparations for the in; suit to the United States flag aud damage to its citizens in the riots. MT. DeBarra, the Mexican ambassas dor, said tonight: "T had conference today with Secretary Knox and I be- lieve the matters under cansidera- ton can all be arranged through .Gs usual diplomatic channels. 4 have had no official report of the occur rences reported to have taken place in the City of Mexico
 One of the matters to be inquired into especially by Secretary Knox is whether it failed to take proper pre- cautionary measures. It is alleged informally that the Mexican govern ment had such information. The oth- CT view in that event to the rioting and especially the charging of the mob and killing of some rioters by the police will go forth and make the matter easy for settlement by Mexi- co.
 Secretary Knox has taken the same step in the case of Rodriguez as were taken in Japanese cases in California and the Italy cases in Louisiana. The Federal government can ask the gov ernment of the states in which the ot- fense is committed to arrest and pur- ish the offender and report to the State Department for the inforraa- tion of the foreign governments tn- terests, but that Is as far as the Fed- eral government can go. The impress s;ons conveyed at the State Depart ment Is that the gravest of the re- ported oftenses is, of course. the iu- suit to the flag.
