TEXT OF CARRANZA hCTE

washington, D. c., July 4, 1916.
"Mr. Secretary:
II have the honor TO transmit
in continuation the text OF a note
| have just received from my gov
eminent with instructions to pre-
sent it to your eXCellency:
Mr.. Secretary:
Referring to the notes OF June
90 and % last, have the honor
TO say to your excellency that the
immediate release of the Carrizal
prisoners was a further proof of
the sincerity of the desires of this
government to reach a pacific and
satisfactory arrangement of
present difficulties. This govern
ment is anxious to solve the pres
ent conflict and it would be IN
just if its attitude would be mis-
interpreted.
Urges Withdrawal Of Troops.
"It was also the Mexican gov
eminent that earnestly suggested
a plan for environments along the
boundary line during the confer
cnces of Ciudad, Juarczand FL PasO
This government is disposed now
as it has always been, to seek an
immediate solution Of the two
points which constitute the true
causes Of the conflict between the
two countries, to-wit: the Ameri-
lean government believes reason
ably that the insecurity of its from
tier is a source of difficulty, and
the Mexican government on its
part believes that the stay Of
American troops on Mexican terri
tory, aside from being trcspass on
the sovereignty of Mexico, is the
immediate cause of the conflict.
Therefore, the withdrawal OF
American troops, on the one hand,
and the protection of the frontier,
on the other, are the two essen
tial problems, the solution Of
which must be the directing OBJ
ject of the efforts of both govern
ments.
1.-The Mexican government is
willing TO consider in quick and
practical way and prompted by a
spirit Of concord the remedies
which should be applied TO the
present situation.
"'Sevcral Latin-American coun
tries have offered their friendly
mediation to the Mexican govern
ment, and the latter has accepted
it in principle. Therefore, the
Mexican government only awaits
information that the government
of the United States would be
disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above
or whether it is still Of the belief
that the same results may be OBJ
tanned by means Of direct negoti
atiOns between both governments.
To Avoid New Complications.
In the meantime this govern
ment proposes to employ all Of
forts that may be at its disposal
to avoid the recurrence of new in
cidents which may complicate and
aggrayatc the situation. At the
same time it hopes that the Amer.
lean government on its part may
make all efforts to prevent also
any new acts of its military and
civil authorities on the frontier
that may cause new complications
- avail myself Of this oppor
tunity TO reiterate TO your keel
lency the assurance of my most
DISTINGUISHED consideration.
&C. AGUILAR.'"
