 "Nr Secretary-I have the honor to
 sL Init in continuation the text of a fae l have just received from my eNernment with instructions to pre- ,ent it to your excellency:
 MT. Secretary-Referring to the notes of June 20 and 25, last, I 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 tsis government to reach a pacific and sat |factofy arrangement of present diff fcalties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust if it's attitude were | |nisinterpreted.
 It was also the Mexican govern nent that earnestly suggested plan |Nr cantonments alongs the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad luarez and Fl Paso. This government IS disposed now, as it has always been, 10 seek an immediate solution to the TWO points which constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two countries, to wit: The American gov efnment believes reasonably that the Insecurity of it's frontier is a source of 0liiculty and the Mexican government On it's part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory, aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico, is the imme- date cause of the conflicts. There lore, the withdrawal of American troops, on the 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.

 ben American and Mexican troops beared to have been dissipated by
 amicable note from Gen. Carranza esented by his ambassador designate re, Eliseo Arredondo.

It is remarkable for it's |syty it's restrained and friendly |pe and for the absolute lack of any | the strong, even insolent language kch characterized the last two com. |unications from the de facto govern lent.

Direct Associations Preferred

 Members of the Latin-American al plomatic corps here are expected tt of the Washington government, 1T view of the statement of the Mexi can foreign office that it awaits only a decision here as to whether mediation or direct negotiations would be pre- ferable. Indications were that the in uuiries would be met with assurances that the two governments had reached the stage where they would not find it necessary to call upon the friendly services of their neighbor states.
 It is not known whether formal reply to Gen. Carranza's note is con templated Diplomatic usage does not call for one, any more officials feel that more can be accomplished through informal discussion between MT. Ar redondo and Counsellor Polk, who will acts as secretary in MT Lansing's ab sence. than could be hoped for in any other way. It is understood MT. Ar redondon plans to call at the depart ment to say good-by to Secretary Lan- sing before the latter's departure for his vacation.

Guards on Both Sides.

In effect the latest note proposes that the clock be turned back to the time immediately following the Colum- bus raid, and when negotiations were afoot for the passage of American troops into Mexico in pursuit of the raiders. Conditions have changed since then, however, Gen. Carranza having assembled a considerable army in Northern Mexico and the United States having called the entire nation, al guard to the line for patrol duty. It is regarded as improbable that any plan for American pursuit of bandits, except possibly within limited areas where a hot trail is followed and no CarranZa troops are available, will be dissucced ln the new negotiations.
 A plan for "border cantonments," to which reference is made in the note, was proposed by Gen. Obregon at n1s conference in Fl Paso with Maj-Gen. Scott, chief of staff of the army. Gen. Scott would not consider it then be- cause 1t was founded on the stipulation that Gen. Pershing's column would be withdrawn immediately. That stipu- laton in effect now is revoked and unquestionably American officials now will give the plan serious considesa, tion.
 Gen. Obregon proposed that at nee essary intervals along the border, camps of Mexican and American troops be established oppo'o each other on their respective sides >i rrn! line, E Formation as to bandit move : usr,ss2 ;.nld be inteTI INanged by the A\( tiIe witgters a9 sSsSsv' OF > tions against the raiders being con ducted jointly, although each fore, would remain within its own terri tory.
 With 100000 or more nationa guardsmen at the border it would bt possible to establish the American impossible for raiders to escape if req cooperation were given by the Mexi cans.
 Movement of Troops Continues.
 The mobilization by the guard con tinued at full speed. It is certain there will be no immediate alteration in the War Department plans. Probs blv reduction of the border forces would be ordered only after some co operative plan of action had been agreed upon with the Mexican govern ment and had been tried out sufficient ly to leave no doubt as to it's practi cability. In other words, a demonstra' tion of the ability of the Carranza forces to carry out their part of the bargain would be required. Whether such demonstration must precede withdrawal of Gen. Pershing's forces is not so clear.
 Officials believe that the call for the national guard and the actual despatch of the troops to the border was the impelling influences which induced Gen. Carranza to abandon the hostile attitude taken in his previous notes They say the United States holds a strong argument in favor of peaceful solution of border difficulties as long as it maintains an army near the line and there seems little probability that it will be withdrawn until all danger has passed.
 Unquestionably, if no new bandit outbreaks occur, the national guards men will be gradually sent back their homes It originally was planned that only part of the force be used on tne border, the remainder being sent later to relieve regiments which had put in the required time at active service. It is possible that scheme will be followed later
