NOTE FROM cARRANZA
 TEENS WITH FRIENDSHIP.
Says Huerta, Not Mexican People, is
 Making All the Trouble.

Washington, May s-"The United States and Mexico have friendly and peaceful relations which not only the constitutionalists but the vast majority firmly maintain. Such relations should not be affacted by the acts Of Hu- erta- since they do not voice the real sentiment of the nation"
 This is the substance of a state ment by Rafael Zubaran, constitution a1ist representative here, made public by the state department today
 The note submitted to the state de- pertinent several days ago was issued by authority of General Carranza him self. The full text of the note is:
 The first chief of the constitution dist army, fully realizing the menace to the good relations between the peo- pie of Mexico and that of its neigh boring republic. the United States, arising out of the wanton conduct of the usurper Huerta, has delegated the undersigned to make clear the feel ings and the attitude of the consti- tutionalists and indeed, the people of Mexico, toward the United States
 The United States and Mexico have friendly and peaceful relations which not only the constitutionaists but the vast majority of the people of Mexico propose to firmly maintain. Such re- lations should not be ahacted by the acts of Huerta since they do not voice the real sentiment of the nation. Consequently it will be the purpose of the constitutionaliEts to strive to con- tfnue unaltered these relations between the people of the two republics and to resolve all differences in the same spirit.
 '-rhe first chief feels that the gov ernment of this nation entertains sem tfments Identical with those of the people of Mexico. This conviction on the spirit of justice and the high moral principles which have always fn- spired the acts of the president and mated as the incarnation of the vir- tues of the American people. He al so feels that the policy followed and to be followed in his struggle against the usurpsr. Huerta- in giving due protection to the lives and property of all American citizens and all foreigners who maintain strict neutrality is a manifest assurance of beth the pur- pose and ability of the eenstitutienal- ists to discharge the international eb- legations of Mexico within the terri tory which they may now and will heseafter control.
 Pursuant to hi sinstruetiens, the undersigned embraces this opportunity to express the sentiments or personal friendliuess. and the appreciation with which the first chief is animated for the president of the United States and the secretary of state
