Washington, March TO- General
Carranza has been informed in a note
from the United States government
that unless there is an Improvement
In condition with respect to foreign
ers and their interests in Mexican ter
rltory under his control, such steps
as may be necessary will be taken by
the American government to obtain
the desired protection.
The note is the strongest and most
emphatic document that has been sent
by the Washington government to
Mexico since the correspondence with
Huerta a year ago.
Carranza is warned that the United
States has viewed with deep concern
the growing complaints made by
foreigners generally against his ad-
mlnlstrat1on of affairs, and, now, in
erect, demands an early change.
Movements of American warships
nave been ordered, the effect of which
Will be naval demonstration that it
is hoped by some officials will con-
vince General Carranza of the de-
termination of the American gov

lions in Mexico City.
Secretary Daniels conferred with
President Wilson on Monday night.
Afterward it was learned on high au-
thority that at least five battleships
would be ordered from Guantanamo
to Vera Cruz.
Only one vessel, the battleship Della
ware, is at Vera Cruz, but five war
ships will be in that vicinity in few
days. The cruiser Tacoma left Port
au-Prince, Haiti, during the day, under
orders to proceed at once to Vera
Cruz; the gunboat Petrol already is
en- route from Mobile, Ala, and the
cruiser Des Moines is bound from Pro
greso to Vera Cruz, while the gunboat
Sacramento is at Tampico
Other available light-draft vessels
more valuable than battleships in trop-
ical waters-are the gunboats Wheel
ing and Nashville, being held in readi-
ness with the armored cruiser Wash
ington, in Haitien and Dominican wa
tiers.
The entire Atlantic fleet of 81 first
class battleships is at Guantanamo,
within two and one-half days sail Of
Vera Cruz.
Mr.. Daniels gave this summary Of
the position of the warships, but de-

1. That General Obregon be directed
to provide protection for all foreign
ers and their property SO long as he is
in command of the constitutionalists
in Mexico City, refrain from making
threats or delivering incendiary utter

and leave a garrison to prevent mob
riots if he evacuated the capital
2. That transportation facilities be-
tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz be
guaranteed so that food and other
supplies may be sent into the national
capital and those who desire to leave
the place may do so.
Evacuation of Mexico City by the
Carranza forces has been ordered by
the first chief of the constitutional

Secretary Bryan following the receipt
