Outside of Villa Territory.

I'm the frs1 place the government
does not believe that the territory east
of Piedra Negras need he taken into
consideration for the reason that
Villa and his party have always
operated in the states of Sonora and
Chihuahua, and we consider the neces-
sity for extending the agreement to
the whole frontier remote In the sec
ond place this government considers
il essential to place a limit on the dis
tance which pursuing forces may pene-
trate, and believe that sixty kilome-
ters is ample for the pursuing forces to
come i'll contact with the bandits or the
forces of the country which they have
entered. The latter forces are to con-
tinue the pursuit.
'In the third place, pursuing parties
in such instances can have little use for
artillery and infantry, as action must
be rapid and can only be carried out
by cavalry. Infantry and artillery can
not be considered as useful to a pursuit
of this nature by the Mexican govern
ment, their use may give rise to
twisted versions and might be the
cause of serious encounters between
residents of one or the other country.

Good Faith Not Questioned.

No one has ever questioned the nom
esty of the purpose of the United
States in limiting the present military
movement TO Il punitive nature. but it
is hard to convince the population that
force Of thousands of men of three
branchas Of the service do not have
the sembiance of invaders. The Mex
lean government believes in the friend
ship of the United States and believes
that the present crisis will pass, leav-
ing relations more cordial than ever.
Gen. carranza asked to be excused
from discussing international questions
and referred the correspondent to the
foreign Office. which he said was fully
authorized to present the views OF
himself and his government. Subsec
retaTy Amador then explained Mexico 8
position.
The subsecretary was asked as to
the correctness of reports that the
governor of the state of san Luis PO-
tosi and certain high army officers had
served notice on Gen. CarranZa that
unless the american troops were with
drawn within a certain specified time
they would join in opposing their fur
ther movement southwark.
This is absolutely untrue, replied
Senor Amador. 1T is true, enemies
of the CarranZa government have been
working strenuously with the people
OF the north to persuade them that the
present movement is invasive and not
punitive in its nature. At first. they
met with some success. but We are
convinced that the people now under
stand the situation. The attack on
the Americans in Parral was due to the
influence of these enemies of the gov
ernment. One of them fired point blank
at an American soldier, killing him

Limited to Fifteen DAYS.

ON April the Washington govern
ment sent another note agreeing to the
proposition that only sixty kilometers
from the border line be considered in
the agreement and that the pursuing
force would not remain In foreign ter
ritory more than fifteen days without
a special agreement. The new note
also agreed that no pursuit would
commence after period of three days
had elapsed since the commission of
the raid. To this was added special
request that the expedition now in
Mexico be considered Il special case.
The Mexican government refused to
give its consent to this request, and in
turn demanded the recall of the Amer
lean troops.
Subsecretary Amador. III his state
ment, said the American troops had
taken heavy artillery into Mexico. Dis
patches from the American expedition
have stated that only machine guns
and light mountain artillery are being
used in Mexico.

Restriction as to Area.

Mexico will and has in all OF its
communications to Washington insist
ed that all punitive expeditions must
be limited to certain restricted areas
The request of the United States that
the present expedition he considered
exceptional cannot be agreed to by tn,
Mexican goverhnment for the very
good reason that each day of its pres
ence so far inland does but excite oui
people.
This is being taken advantage of by
enemies of the constitutional1st gov
ernment who are endeavoring to stage
incidents that will cause grave utter
national complications. The Parral in
cident is case in point.
Il consider this happening the last
drop in the bucket and believe that
when the American people and the
American government realize its fuli
significance they will gladly accede to
MeXico's request and in the interest
of peace and in line with the tradi-
tional friendship which exists between
the two countries will Withdraw the
troops.

Troops Without Supplies.

Although the sldiers had orders not
TO enter towns. these men were forced
into Parral because they could get
nothing to eat in the surrounding
country. and were SO far from the
border that il was impossible to send
them provisions, without giving this
expedition the appearance of being
something more than it's name suggests.
That is the reason the Mexican gov
eruncut mas insisted in its notes to
Washington that the limits of the
zone which may he traversed by any
punitive expeditions, extend not far
ther than forty miles. nod, in our
opinion should punitive expeditions be
allowed in the territory or either coun-

q. S. Counter Proposition.

In reply to this note the United
States made the following counter
proposition:
ARTICLE /. 1t is agreed that the regu-
lar forces of the two republics may
cross the boundary line in pursuit Of
parties of bandits or armed parties
that may have entered one country or
RACES on foreign soil and having es-
capped by way of the boundary line.
Article .. The reciprocal passage as
agreed upon In article l will only
take place in comparatively uninhabit-
ed poorly protected territory. and in
! no case at a less distance than 60
kilometers from any camp or town in
place, except in mountainous places
difficult of access.
Article g., The commander of troops
that crossed the frontier in accordance
with the terms of this agreement, will
on the moment of starting the march
or before. if possible advise the near
est military or civil officer of the coun-
try entered of the number of troops,
and the quantity Of arms carried.
Article 4. The government Of the
country entered promises to cooperate
in every way possible to the end of
capturing the bandits and summarily
executing them.
Article ;. The purusing force will
imme ediately return to it's own coun-
try after furnishing the bandit il is

troops over the boundary line for the

government of Mexico and the United
States and North America that the reg

country, as well as any forces of mill
,iamen or of those duly organized by
either government, may reciprocally

Negras when they may be closely pur-
suing individuals declared outside the
law or evil-doers who have interned
themselves in either of the countries
after committing depredations for the
purpose of eluding punishment.
Article 2. This agreement will be
subject in all it's terms and conditions
to the following stipulated articles:
