Text of Mexican Note

Washington, July 6.-The text OF
the note of General Carranza, reply.
ing to President Wilson's latest COM
munication, as transmitted by Eliseo
Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador
designate, follows:
Washington, July 5, 1916.
Mr.. Secretary: have the honor
to transmit in continuation the text
of note ! have just received from
my government with instructions to
present it to your excellency:
Proof Of Sincerity.
Excellency: Referring to the
notes of June goth, and 25th last,
have the honor to say to your excel
lency 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 pres
ent difficulties. This government is
anxious to solve the present conflict
and it would be unjust il its attitude
were misinterpreted.
Seeks Immediate Solution.
1t was also the Mexican govern
ment that earnestly suggested plan
for environments along the boundary
line during the conferences of Ciudad
Jaurez and 81 Paso. This government
is disposed now, as it 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 it's frontier is a source
of difficulty and the Mexican govern
ment on it's part believes that the stay
Of the American troops en- the Next
can territory, aside from being tres
pass Of the sovereignty of Mexico, is
the immediate cause of the conflicts.
Therefore the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops on one hand, and the pro-
lection of the frontier on the other
are the two essential problems, the
solution of which must be the direct
ing object of the efforts of both gov
ernments.
Favors Mediation.
1.-The Mexican government is will
ing to consider in a quick and practi-
cal way and prompted by spirit of
concord the remedies which should be
applied to the present situation.
Several Latin American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
to the Mexican government and the
latter has accepted it 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 whe-
Their it is still of the belief that the
same results may be attained by means
of direct negotiations between both
governments.
To Protect U. 8. Border.
In the meantime this government
proposes to employ all efforts that may
be at its disposal to avoid the recur-
renee of new incidents which may
complicate and aggravate the situation.
At the same time it hopes that the
American government on it's part may
make us of all efforts to prevent also
new acts Of its military and civil au-
thorities of the frontier that might
cause new complications.
81 avail myself of this opportu-
nifty to reiterate to your excellency the
assurance of my most distinguished
consideration
&C. Aguilar'
Having thus complied with higher
instructions of my government offers
me pleasure to reiterate to your excel
lency the assurance of my highest con-
sideration.
