''ReseTving the privilege Of answer

the American note of protest sent to
me lately, 1 take this opportunity to
state in an earnest and emphatic way
that General Obregon never has in
tended to incite the hungry populace

prevented in any way the entrance Of
food supplies into the City of Mexico,

Washington Warns carranza-
Washington, March 1O.-American
citizens again have been warned to
leave Mexico City, in view OF the criti-
cal situation that has arisen there.
Secretary of State Bryan has an
nounced that transportation facilities
will be sought for as many as desire
to leave. The battleship Georgia and
the armOred cruiser Washington were
ordered by Secretary Of the Navy
Daniels to proceed at once to Vera
Cruz, after Mr. Daniels had conferred
with President Wilson.
Although the contents Of the Amer
lean note to Carranza we're not re-

members OF the diplomatic corps that
serious consequences may ensue IL
Carranza fails to heed the representa-
tions made to him. The United
States in its communication describes
conditions as ''intolerable" and calls
upon Carranza to take the necessary
steps to correct the situation The in

CARRANzA
Dwell on Importance of Rail
Communication TO Vera

BRAZIL INVESTIGATES FOR U. S.
Secretary Bryan Wants Information
About Murder of Four Spanish
Subjects by Mexicans.

Washington, March 12.-Another
note was sent by the United States
government today TO General CaTranza
in reply to his response to the notice
that Carranza and Obregon would be
held personally responsible for the
safety of Americans and other foreign
ers in the City OF Mexico. 1t is under
stood to have emphasized the import
ance of keeping railway cOmmunica-
ton between the capital and Vera
Cruz open.
General Carranza's denial that Gen
eral Obregon had intended to incite
the population of the City Of Mexico
to riot or to prevent the entrance to
the capital of food supplies was fol-
lowed in the note which went forward
today by request that if this were
true trains should be furnished to
carry freight into the city
No word had been received late to-
day of any change in the situation in
the City of Mexico.
Secretary Bryan directed an inquiry
to be made by the Brazilian minister
concerning the report furnished by
Senior Riano, the Spanish ambassador
killed in the City of Mexico. It has
been reported also, but without con-
firmation, that a Swedish subject had
been killed.
A statement issued by the Villa
agency here today dwelt upon the &C
ton of Obregon and Carranza. 1t
contained no news of Importance
England Asks Aid.
London, March 11--England has
asked Washington to investigate and
protect British interests in connection
with the Mexican seizure of the steam
er Wyvisbrook and to procure, If pos
sible, the release of her master. Ad-
vices received here state that the di-
plomats in the City OF Mexico have
decided not to leave the capital for
the present. 1t is thought here the
latest American action probably
caused them to reach this decision and
that they will remain in hope that the
American presentations will result in
improved conditions
There is grave concern here over
the whole Mexican situation. It is
strongly hoped that Washington will
be able to bring an end to the chaos,
although it is generally felt that moth
ing short of Intervention will suffice.
British interests generally have been
suffering considerably, and the re-
quest for American assistance on the
seizure of the Wyvisbrook is only one
lions.
