notes which Gen. Carranza has sen,
to the presidents of Argentina, Brazl
and Chile. protesting against fnterfer'
ence on the part of any American ma
tion in Mexico.
+ Notes Are Identical.
/ The Carranza notes to Argentina and
Chile were identical. In them Gen
Carranza expressed the opinion that
the matter Of the settlement of Mex
), tco's internal problem is "the exclusive
province of her sovereignty" The FIRST
chief said:
Inspired by the purest patriotism
and desirous that the realm OF liberty
and democracy be insured in all Amer
lea, I, in the name of the Mexican peo-
tionalist army, depository of the ex-
ecutive power of the nation, beg leave
; to invite your attention to the dangers
which may ensue from a new policy of
Of this hemisphere in the internal at
1afrs and of the exclusive province OF
the sovereignty of any of such ma
tions."
The note addressed to the govern
ment at Rio de Janeiro differed for the
reason that Ambassador da Cana was
reported to have declined to take part
IN any scheme of joint interference of
Mexican affairs To the Brazilian pres
fdent Gen. Carranza said: The people
OF Mexico have heard with gratifica-
tion that your representative in Wash
ington has >declined with dignity to
take any part in the project of inter-
ference"
Complains Of Minister
The first chief, however. did not neg-
lect to inform the Brazilian govern
ment that the activities of Minister
Cardosa de Oliveira at Mexico City
have been such as to render his future
service in Mexico virtually useless.
Gen. Carranza said: Il regret to say
that Minister esrdosa de Oliveira has
been one of the persons who has
brought the greatest evil on the repub-
lie of Mexico. and who in certain way
may be responsible for the present
status of our relations with the gov
ernment Of the United States"
An duOIeSS 10 the AIleIiCdH peop1c
which Carranza has prepared was
being held back awaiting the outcome
Of the pan-American conference. Ar
gentina already has replied to Car
ranza's protest. saying the Mexican
people should regard the conference as
q proof of friendship for Mexico.
Senior Cardosa Delayed.
An attack by Zapata troops on a
train at Apizaco yesterday has delayed
Senior Cardosa. the Brazilian minister
to Mexico, who Is en- route from the
capital to Vera Cruz to board the gun
boat Marietta on his way to the United
States.

Cruz reported to the State Department
today that the attack was made on a
train ahead of that bearing the Bra
1ilian minister, and that it would be
impossible for Senior Cardosa to reach
Vera Cruz before noon today.
Consul Silliman also reported that an
1nteroceanic railroad train was blown
UP near Protero yesterday and that
many Carranza workmen and soldiers
were killed in a battle which followed.
