IMMENSE CLAIMS
AGAINST MEXICO
Now Confront CarranZa
Government.
QUESTION As TO SETTLEMENT
Re. Establishment Of Credit
May Be Awaited BY
United States.
$500, 100000 LIKELY NEEDED

Washington, Oct. 23.-European
Governments are making inquiries
of the United States as to what as
surances have been given by the
newly-recognized Mexican Govern
ment with respect to foreign claims.
1t is generally understood that the
Powers of Europe will follow the
lead of the American republics in
recognizing Carranza, but 1t became
known that before taking the. step
they want to know more specifically
what settlement is to be made OF
the huge claims growing out of the
revolutionary conditions of the last
few years.
Gen. Carranza has decided to APP
point several mixed commissions to
be composed of representatives of
the interested nations in order that
an equitable settlement may be
reached. The question of claims is
related so closely to the financial
rehabilitation of Mexico that it is
unlikely that the United States Gov
eminent will press its claims until
Mexican credit has been firmly re-
established and arrangements made
for payment of the Southern Repub-
lies national obligations.
AS yet no move has been made by
the Carranza Government to obtain
loan. but 1t Is considered certain
that in view of the condition of Eu-
ropean markets, funds with which
to finance the new Government will
be sought in the United States. The
sum needed has been variously esti-
mated from a hundred million to
three hundred million dollars. 1t is
not believed in well informed quar-
tiers that any loan will be negotiated.
however, until new Congress has
been elected and the constitutional
order begun, probably six months
hence.
Official evidence of recognition
of the Carranza Government was
given by the State Department t.
day in the delivery to Elseo Are
dondo, of an invitation asking the
United States of Mexico to send del
egates 10 and participate in the In
ternational Scientific Congress here
next December.
Yesterdays fatalities brought the
number of United States soldiers
killed in fight with Mexicans in this
section In the last three months TO
ten.
Civil authorizes to-day seiit urgent
messages from all points along this
section of the border asking for men
familiar with the Mexican methods CT
following trails in the brush. Some
army officers said they believed
more troops would have to be sent
here il the border is to be made safe
from raids which devlop on the river
front
Bodies or four Mexicans killed as
result of the Monday night train
robbery were found about five miles
from here near the scene OF the
wreck. One was identified as that OF
a one-eyed Mexican laborer near the
wreck. The others We're unidentified.
