Continued from Page One


De Oliveira has been one of the persons
| who has brought the greatest evil on the
| republic of Mexico, and who, in certain
way may be responsible for the present
| status of our relations with the Govern
ment of the United States"
CARRANzA WARNS LANSING.
General Carranza today sent a note to
Secretary Lansing advising him to cease
meddling In Mexican affairs
Carfanza's note to Lansing says Car
rama thought the Pan-American confer
ence was TO decide what faction deserved
recognition in Mexico and then accord Il
recognition. He denies the right OF the
United States to force compromise gov
ernment in Mexico.
The note phrased by Ellseo Arredondo.
confidential agent for Carranza, con.
tinues:
but the persistence with which the
press has intimated that the parleys re-
ferred to have had for an object and
nave agreed upon plan for the pacih-
cation OF Mexico and the declarations at
trlouted to your EXcellency by the press
nave caused the Constitutionalist Gov
ernment to feel Justly alarmed.
Mr. Carranza and the persons who
cooperate with him are of the profound
conviction that IL the American Govern
ment would know the true situation in
Mexico 1t would understand that the nniv
possible, Just and acceptable solution
would be to leave tile revolution to follow
It's natural course until the complete vic
tory OF the party representing greater
necessities and popularity"
