Mexico City, May 31.-C1aiming that the words and protests of the United States have been entirely in contradic- tton of their acts, and that in spite of protests not to intervene in the af- fairs of Mexico soldiers of the United States are now in Mexico without the consent of the Mexican government, and in violation of Mexico's sove- reignty, the Mexican government now asks for the immediate withdrawal of those troops. The request is made in l2sOOO-WOrd note made public at the foreign office today about noon
 The note recftes that American troops crossed the frontier after the Columbus incident without the per- mission of the Mexican government The act was not considered one of in vaSion then solely because the United States said they had misinterpreted the attitude of the Mexican govern ment When the second expedition crossed the line after the Glenn Springs incident, the note maintains, the plea that this was done with the consent of the Mexican consul at Del Rio. Tex. is untenable and that act can only be considered as one of in Yasion.
 The Mexican government therefore invites the United States to bring to note concludes, "and to support it's protesta.ions and declarations of fripedship by an immediate withdrew al of the American troops
 Washington Must Declare Itself.
 Maintaining that the protests of protests of friendship by the United States and the expressed desire for non-intervention have been contra dfcted by the acts of the Washington government, the note says the time has arrived when Washington muet re- clare itself clearly and unequivocally as to it's future intentions toward Mexico.
 An Act of Invasion.
 After reciting the facts which led to the first crossing of the frontier by

the American troops after the villa raid at Columbus, the note insists that in contradiction of the words of Gen. eral Scott and General Funston an- other expedition crossed the bound ary line, thus violating all the pre- cepts of international law and com mittisg an act of invasion.
 Work of Expedition Owe
 "The American government" says the note. "has admitted that the work of the expedition which entered after the Columbus raid is now over. But in spite of this fact, American troops still remain on Mexican soil. To con- tend that political disorder in this country justifies this act of the Amer ican military forces is in conflict with the repeated professions of the Wash iugton government relative to non-in- reference"
 Refers to Embargo on Arms.
 The note points out that much of the trouble in Mexico is due ''to the at titude of the United States in not punishing conspirators is the United States, who have plotted the downfall Of the present oHstitutfonalist gov ernment and to the acts of Washing ton in refusing the shipments of arms and ammunition to enter Mexico
 The Note in Part.
 The note, which is addressed to Secretary Lansing. reads in part as follows:
 "The Mexican government has just received advices that a group of American troops have crossed the frontier and penetrated Mexican terri tory and are at present near g. place called El Pino. some seventy miles to the south of the frontier. This newly affected massage of these troops with : out the consent of the Mexican gov ernment places in grave danger the harmony and good relations which ought to exist between the govern

TORPEDO BOAT STRUCK
 SUBMERGED HEREINAFTER.
Hole Torn in the Port Bow of the
 Warrington.

Boston, May 31.-The torpedo boat destroyer Warrington, damaged by contact with a submerged breakwater at Rockport last night, was placed in drydock at the local navy yard today. Capt. w. R. Rush, commandant of the yard, appointed a board of inquiry which will report its findings to Wash ington.
 The Warrington was finishing a speed trial when she was Scraped by the rocks. A hole was torn in the port bow, and water entered in large volume. For time it was thought the destroyer was sinking, but the pumps soon checked the rush of water. Emergency repairs were made, with the assistance of men from the battle ships New York and Delaware, and the Warrington was taken in tow for this port by the destroyer Jenkins. The latter relinquished it's consort duties outside this har'bor, where the disabled destroyer was picked up by a tug.
