Formal Recognition Is Extend
ed by United States.
Pan-American States Present
Acknowledgment Letters.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Formal rec
ognition by the United States of the de
facto government of Mexico, with
General Venustiano Carranza as chief
executive, was accomplished at noon
today by the delivery to General Car
ranza'S representative, ElfZeo Are
dondo, at the Mexican embassy, of a
letter from Secretary Lansing.
Recognition letters from the Pan
American conferees, similar in tone,
also were received by Mr.. Arredondo.
Arrendondo to Carranza.
Tomorrow Mr.. Arrendondo will
start for Saltillo, Mex, to meet Cen
eral Carranza and present to him the
letters and notes of recognition from
the several governments of Central
and South America, which arrived
during the day, in accordance with the
decision of the Pan-American confer
ence yesterday.
Recognition by nations other than
those represented in the Pan-Ameri-
can conference is expected to follow
soon.
Fletcher for Ambassador.
Although no final decision has been
reached as to the appointment of an
American ambassador to Mexico, the
most likely choice is Henry P. Fletch
er, at present ambassador to Chile. He
has had long experience in Latin
American countries, and. although 4
Republican in politics, he was pronot-
ed from minister to ambassador by
President Wilson.
No Arms to Rebels.
The question of an embargo on war
munitions shipments into Mexico is
now under consideration by the state
department. The probable procedure
it was intimated today, would be the
adoption of a complete embargo, after
which permits would be granted for
shipments to the defacto government.
