New Note From First
Chief Presented to
State Department
NOT REGARDED
AS ULTIMATUM

(By Leased Wire to New Mexican.)
Washington, May 31.--A new note
from General CarTanza, asking for a
definite explanation Of the continued
presence of American troops, and re-
newing his previous request for their
withdrawal, was presented to the
state department today by Eliseo Ar
redondo, the Carranza ambassador.
General Carranza's new note refers
to the repeated declarations that the
United States wants no war; with
Mexico, and argues that the with
drawal Of American troops would be
the best proof Of that attitude. The
continued presence of the punitive
expedition, the note says, is having
a contrary effect. It goes on to say
that Carranza troops are now both in
numbers and position to control out
lawry in northern Mexico, and that
cooperation by the American troops
in preventing incursions into the
United States can best be carried on
by having the forces OIL the American
side of the border. II declares that
had the American troops now in Mex
leo been engaged in patrol on the
American side the Glenn Springs and
Boquillas raids could have been pre-
vented.
State department officials regard
the note not as an ultimatum, but as
a continuance of the negotiations
with the Carranza government.
