DECIDE TO RECOGNIZE
 CARRANzA AT LAST
Pan-AReriCan CORfoTGaS Ara
 Unanimous In Choice.

Formal announcement was made by Secretary Lansing that the panAmeri can conferees on the Mexican problem have reached a unanimous decision in favor of the recognition of the Car ranza organization as the de facto gov ernment of Mexico. This decision was the result of the fourth of the series of conferences between Secretary Ian sing and the diplomatic representatives of the governments of Argentina. Bra gil, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay and Guate mala.
 The only thing left undetermined was the method of extending recogni tion. Before reaching d decision tha conferees obtained from Carranza cer- tain definite assurances, which includ- ed the following:
 First-That the lives and property of Mexicans and foreigners will be respected and safeguarded by the Carranza govern ment
 Second.-That persons connected with any religion in Mexico will be permitted to return to Mexico and will be secure in life and property if they have not partici- pated and will not participate in politics.
 Third.-That general amnesty will be granted to Mexicans, although it is not expected that amnesty must be granted to certain leaders of the opposition to the ConstitutionaliSt cause.
 Fourth.-That the de facto government will take the necessary steps to restore law and order in the country, to provide general elections for the choice of officers of the government and that there will be restoration of the constitutional order in Mexico,
 It is not expected that the CarranzH government will grant amnesty to Villa. Huerta or to any Mexican leaders who may have been identified with the coup d'etat by which President Madero was overthrpwn or who may have been con cerned in the plot for his assassination
 There was report that Villa would fight on despite the action above noted
