Insists That He Permit the Operation of Trains Between Vera Crnz and
 Mexico City.
Warships Will Not be Removed From Vera Cruz But Will be Kept There Indefinitely to Take Off Americans and Foreigners if
 Necessary.

Washington, March ll-Auother note was sent by the United States government today to General Car ranza in reply to his response last night to the notice that Carranza and Obregon would be held personal ly responsible for the safety Of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico City. It is understood to em- Ihasize the importance of keeping open railway communication between the capital and Vera Cruz.
 The second communication was dis patched so quickly after the receipt of Carranzas reply that the impress sion prevailed in diplomatic quarters that the United States had deter mined in advance to make repTesen- tations for the unrestricted passage of Americans and otaer foreigners from Mexico City to Vera Cruz

 he entrance 10 the capital of food supplies was followed in the note which went forward today by a re. quest that if this were true, trains should be furnished to carry freight into the city.
 No word had been received late 10. day of any change in the situation in Mexico City. though routine mes. sages came through from the Brazil ian minister In today's note to Car. ranza 1t is believed attention was called to the reports of an early evacuation of Mexico City and the re- quest again made for arrangements 10 police the city before the forces of Ohregon withdrew.
 Secretary Bryan also directed an inquiry to be made by the Brazilian minister concerning the report fur nished by Senor RianO. the Spanish ambassador here, that four Spaniards had been killed in Mexico City. It has been reported also but without that a Swedish subject had been killed
 On the whole officials thought the Carranza note relieved a critical sit uation, but the warsaips ordered toI Vera Cruz were not recalled on the strength of the favorable develop ments and the opinion prevails that they will be kept there indefinitely possibly to ake away such Americans and foreigners as have no other means of making their departure.
 A statement issued by the Villa agency aere says:
