Madrid March 1.-THE Spanish gov
eminent has published a note outlin-
ing the negotiations with General Car
rama following the expulsion from
Mexico City Of the Spanish Minister,
Jose Caro-. The Constitutionalist chief
has adopted conciliatory attitude.
contcnding that the action taken i'm the
case of Senior Caro- was not designed
rs an aiTrout 10 the Spanish people
nor the government, with which he
desires 70 have excellent relations"
General Carranza mas requested
Spain 10 send to Vera Cruz q coniiden-
tial agent to replace Minister Caro-,
who. he says, was expelled because
of the excitement and passions Of the
populace and the fear of disagreeable
Consequences If he remained
The Constitutionalist leader has
pledged indemnity to Spanish subjects
who have suffered damage as the re-
suit Of the revolution, when peace IS
established.
The note states that the Spanish
government has accepted in principle
the explanations offered by General
Carrauza. SPANS confidential agent
in Mexico probably will be Manuel
Walls Merino, whose appointment as
Minister to Mexico was announced
some time ago, but who never pre-
scented his crcden .ials.

John Z. Redmond Says German
Emperor Did Not Count on
United British Empire.

Manchester. England, March II. -
John +. Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalist party, in a speech TO five
thousand persons here to-day, pointed
out that ne had often addressed meet
ings OF Irishmen in Manchester, but
never before an assemblage of Irish
men and Englishmen firmly united IN
a common purpose.
"Ireland has been admitted 70 her
proper place in the British Empire,
with the building up of which she had
as much to 90 as England Mr.. Red
nond continued. "She has already
taken her proper place, with perfect
and absolute good faith and loyalty
Official figures covering the period
up to February 10, he said, showed that
% 700 Irishmen from Ireland had joined
the colors, $4,000 from other parts of
the United Kingdom and enough more
from the dominions 10 bring up the
total 10 a quarter OF million. Fur
thermore. tho recruiting OF lrishmen
was proceeding steadily.
Ten years ago the Kaiser might
have found a divided empire" he said.
but he had forgotten the march OF
events. The rule Of tho people has
been substituted for the rule Of
classes, and the empire is united on
the sure foundation OF liberty. In
lighting for the empire Irishmsn are
fghtine for Ireland"
