inc Idn-Ameflcan conference. Secre-
tary Lansing issued this statement:
Ihe conference, after careful con-
Slderation Of the facts, has found Tat
the CarranZa party is the only party
in Mexico which possesses the essen
tials for recognition as the de facto
government, and they have so report
ed to their respective governments" ="
Secretary Lansing said the United
States would await responses from
the other American republics repre-
sented in the conference before TAX
ing formal action toward recOgnitiOn.
He said the conference contemplated
no interference in MeXicO'S internal
affairs, and that the question of an
embargo on arms and ammunition
had not been discussed.
The action Of :C~day's conference
was regarded generally as the most
diplomatic step in the Mexican situa-
tion since the United States decided
to withhold recognition from the
Huerta government. 1t seems that
the Carranza government will receive
the moral support Of the United
states and that an embargo will be
placed on arms destined for opposing
factions as soon as recognition actu-
ally is extended, which probably will
pc "ltuln Il fortnight.
Important Effect.
Secretary Lansing made it clear
that, while the United States could
not condition recognition upon the
giving OF amnesty or the settlement
Of other questions of strictly inter
nal nature, satisfactory assurances on
these and other subjects have been
received from the Carranza govern
ment. These guarantees are as fol-
lows:
|. Foreigners will be protected in
their lives and property.
2. The Carranza government as
sumCs full responsibility for claims
growing out Of the revolution, and
Will adjust them cQuitably by means
OF international commissions.
3. No one will suffer in his life
and property on account Of religious
beliefs. All priests and nuns who
have not taken part in Mexican poll
tics will be permitted to return, and
Will be protected, provided they do
not participate in politics and obey
the Mexican laws CONCERNING the sep
aration Of church and State.
4. A decree OF amnesty is in prep
aratiOn, which will enable all cle-
mentS, irrespective Of political affl-
latiOnS heretofore, to return to Mex
leo with the exception Of those guilty
OF completely in the plot to kill Ma
dero and SuarcZ, or who are charged
with civil crimes. A few political
lcadtrs. who hitherto have opposed
the CdrranZa government, will not
be permitted to return until the gov
ernmcnt is firmly established and
then oily if they will pledge allegiance
to it.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 10.-Gen

Pan-American conference at Wash
ington had decided to recommend
recognition of his government from
CarranZa agents at Washington. The

great enthusiasm.
Gen. CarranZa will depart tO-mor-
row on trip through the Northern

In response to questions, Gen. Car
rama said:
