Washington, July 6.-The text OF
Carranxa's reply to the United States.
a. transmitted by Eiiseo Arredondo.
the Mexican ambassador designate
follows:
"Mr. Secretary: have the honor
to transmit In continuation the text
of . note which l have Just received
from my government, with instruc-
tons to present 1t to your excsllency:
Mr.. Secretary: Referring to the
notes of June 20 and Is last, l 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 . pacific
and satisfactory arrangement Of pres
emit difficulties. This government II
anxious to solve the present conflict
and 1t would be unjust II its attitude
were misinterpreted.
1t was also the Mexican government
that earnestly suggested q plan for
cantonments along the boundary line
during the conferences of Ciudad
Juarez and Ell Paso. This government
10 disposed now. as 1t has always been
to seek an immediate solution Of the
two points which constitute the true
cause of the conflict between the two
countries. to wit: The American
government thinks reasonably that the
insecurity Of its frontier is a source
Of difficulty and the Mexican govern
ment on its part believes that the stay
tory. aside from being a trespass on
the sovereignty Of Mexico. is the Inn
mediate cause of the conflicts. There
fore the withdrawal Of American
troops on one hand and the protection
Of the frontier on the other, are the
two essential problems, the solution Of
which must be the directing objects
The Mexican government Is willing
to consider in a quick and practical
way. and prompted by a spirit Of con-
cord, the remedies which should b
applied to the present situation.
Several Latin-American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
to the Mexican government, and the
latter has accepted 1t in principle.
Therefore, the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov.
eminent Of the United States would
be disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above or
whether it ia still Of the belief that
the same results may be attained by
means Of direct negotiations between
both governments.
In the meantime this government
purposes to employ all efforts that
may be at its disposal to avoid the re-
currence OF new incidents which may
complicate and aggravate the situa-
ton. At the same time 1t hopes that
the American government on its part
may make use of all efforts to prevent
also new acts Of its military and civil
authorities of the frontier that might
cause new complications.
avail myself of this opportunity to
reiterate to your excellency the assur.
ance of my most distinguished con.
sideration.

Having thus complied with the
higher instructions of my govern
ment, 1t affords me pleasure to reiter-
ate to your excellency the assurance
of my most distinguished considera-
ton. (Signed) E. ARREDONDO."
