NO MESSAGE SENT
 BY GEN. CARRANZA
Communication Had Been Considered But Was WithheId-Washingt
 in Dark As to Reason.

Mexico City, May 30-Foreign Min ister Aguilar stated today that no note had been sent to Washington by General Carranza. He intimated that a communication had been under consideration, but offered no exp1an- ation as to why it had been withheld.
 Manuel Mendez, an attache of the Mexican foreign office, arrived in Washington yesterday. Prior to his arrival state department officials had been unofficially informed that MT. Mendez was a special messenger from Carranza and carried a note which would probably renew the suggestion that American troops be withdrawn from Mexico. Officials of the de facto government in Washington had also received the same information but MT. Mendez, on his arrival, said that he carried no note and was simp- 1y on a vacation.
