Carranxa's Last Note.
The last note from General Carran-
"a. which was in reply to commun-
ication from the mediators under date
OF June p, was made public today. 1t
says
1.-THE CONFIDENTIAL agency of General
Carranza at Washington has replied
to the note of the mediators addressed
to him, June 20. stating:
1.-The chief of the constitutional
ist government duly appreciates the
noble purpose Of the mediators in adj
dressing him an invitation to treat di-
rectly with delegates to General Huerta
on the organization Of provisional
government, capable Of bringing about,
in a prompt and consistent form, the
pacification Of Mexico, but notwith-
standing his good will to give to the
country an organic and durable peace
by any means. which will not bring to
naught the great sacrifices which the
Mexican people have made in the pres
ent struggle, HE is compelled to con-
suit the opinion of the generals Of the
constitutionalist army before deciding
on the appointment Of delegates to
confer on his behalf with those Of
General Huerta, regarding the possi-
bility Of reaching an agreement put
ting an end to the war.
Why Time 10 Required.
"'This obligation arises from the
promise made by Mr.. Carranza and by
all constitutionalists faithfully to carry
out the plan Of Guadaloupe, which pro-
poses to restore the constitutionalist
order by means Of provisional presi-
dent, and which would be modified II
such government were made to emanate
from possible agreement with the
delegates Of General Huerta as we'll as
from his earnest desire that any agree
ment reached be strictly fulfilled.
with this end In view and in
furtherance Of the efforts Of the medi-
ators to procure peaceful solution Of
the struggle, which the Mexican people
have been compelled to sustain in the
defense Of its institutions. the first chief
has already addressed the generals of
the constitutionalist army In consulta-
ton and only desires to request the
mediators to allow him q short period
of time, during which he hopes to re-
ceive answers from his companions in
arms in order to appoint delegates to
treat with the delegates Of General
Huerta."
