Warrington, D. O., May ITO Gen
venustiano Carranxa, Chihuahua, Mexi.
CO, via FL Paso.
I'VE have received your courteous teie-
graphic message of yesterday In which
you inform us that you deem II mad
visable for the constitutionalist cause to
suspend hostilities against Gen. Huerta
because the suspension would behent the
latter only. and In which you state that
the international conflict between Mexico
and the United States for solution of
which you accepted our good ofYices. 10
Independent Of the internal strire IN that
country.
We consider this unexpected declara-
ton incompatible with the purpose which
prompted our tender of good ofices. We
believe as a matter Of fact that all diff
hSuiics WHICH nave 10 pfinB
about the present situation OF Mexico
directly or Indirectly affect the solution
Of the conflict pending between Mexico
and the United States, and consequently
we understand that they must be made
the subject matter of consideration In
the settlement negotiations for the full
success Of which we have deemed the
Suspension Of hostilities to be indispen-
sable.
IT you should not so understand. we
would be compelled to withdraw as in
sentatives Of the constitutionalist party
to attend these negotiations. We greet
you with all our consideration.
