A Warning to Carranza.
Gen. Carranza'S Manifesto
Protesting Action of U. S.
Shock to Administration

Gen. Venustiano Carranza. constitution
alist chief, regards the seizure of Vera
Cruz by the American naval forces as an
act of hostility to the Mexican nation
He served this notice on the admnistra-
ton late last night in a long statement
dated from Chihuahua, printed in an
other column.
The opposition to the American govern
ments action, coming from an uneX-
pected quarter after the Washington ad-
ministration had hoped for an attitude of
neutrality and passive observation from
the constitutionalists. brought the gov
ernment face to face with possible hos
tility from the great body of Mexican
forces lying in proximity to the south
ern tier of the United States.
President Wilson had especially dis
claimed any act of hostility to the Mexi-
can people, particularizing Gen. Huerta
as the object of the American operations
to secure reprisal for offenses at Tam
pico and elsewhere against the American
flag.
Carranza pointed out that the seizure

HUERTA RECALLS HIS ENVOY AND ORDERS
OSHAUCHNESSY FROM MEXICAN CAPITAL

With Charge A. Algara of the Mexican
embassy leaving Washington this even
ing. having been given his passports by
the State Department, on his own request.
and Charge Nelson OShaughnessy leav-
ing Mexico City for Vera Cruz. having
been ordered out by Huerta, diplomatic
relations between Mexico and the United
States were broken off today-on the in
itiative of Mexico.
Huerta's handing of passports to Charge
O'Shaughnessy was regarded as a most
sensational development in the situation,
as 1t was believed to forecast declara-
ton OF war on the part of Huerta. The
giving of passports to a minister or
charge dafraires in most cases. though
not invariably. has preceded declaration
Of war.
o'Shaughnessy Notifies Bryan.
Charge O'Shaughnessy te.egraphed the
day night as follows:
Having been given my passports. l am
eaving tomorrow night or Friday morn
.ng"
Although this message from the charg,
was not given out until 800 am toda,
t is generally believed that it had bee
in possession of officials for at least thre
hours. and that this was one of the sui
jects discussed when the Presiden. ant
Secretary Bryan were awakened and held
an early morning conference about the
Carranza note.
Charge Algara, after comforting with
Secretary Of State Bryan at 1890 O'Clock
today, said that he had made formal de-
mand for his passports, and expected to
receive them late today.

There was great surprise among the

Chief of Police Antonio Villa Vicencio

him that he continue in his official

made up his mind TO accede to Admiral
Fletchers suggestion which WAS made

might have been spared the humiliation
of being forced from their positions and

Coincident with the orders for the gen

flag of truce, came down street from
the center of the city. He carried let

Consul Canada to read it. 1t was an
urgent appeal to the chief of police to
