(ey Review Leased Wire, !,

WASHINGTON, June 15-Secretary Lansing's draft of the note which will refuse GeneraI Carranza's s demand for withdrawal of American troops from Mexico was laid before President Will son tor his approval today almost simultaneously with receipt of news oi another border raid in which three American troopers were killed.
 Punitive steps against those re- sponsible for the new depreciation were left to the discretion of the border commanders whose standing orders are to pursue into Mexico any hot trail they ind. The development, however, immediately was called to the attention of the de facto govern ment, and will be one of the clements of which the administration, in it's reply to CarranZa will predicate it's declaration that the time for with drawal is not ripe because Mexican troops are not properly policing the border country.
 Economic State Bad.
 Anti-A m erican demonstrations throughout the republic also will back up this declaration which will also call attention to the seriousness of economic conditions likely to pro duce such grave situation that of ficials here fear new internal out break soon and have taken further steps to protect Americans. An army transport is held in readinell at Gal weston to proceed to Mexican ports for refugees. another has been ordered to the vicinity of the west coast and the navy transport Hancock, now taking marines to Santo Domingo, will 50 from that port to Vera Cruz as soon as she has completed her present mission.
 New Raid Is Evidence.
 A copy of the terse message from General Mann bringing the first of ficial word of the San Ignacio raid. was forwarded to Special Agent Rodgers in Mexico City for presenta ton to the de facto government.

 To Rebuke Carranza.
 The reply to the Carranza note may i be sent tomorrow or Saturday. Secre- tary Lansing has studiously declined to discuss it in any way, but it is known that he has prepared visor- | ovsiy worded refusal to withdraw the troops, pointing out the failure of the | de facto government ro lend its CO., | operation in hunting down outlaws who have threatened the peace of the 1 two countries. The friendly purpose ] of the United States are understood | to be set forth in unmistakable terms , in the note, also rebuke for the tone of some passages of the Mex ican note which many officials re- gard as insulting.
 Gloom lncf ,ases.
 The secretary characterized the situation in Mexico as unquiet today, and that nothing had developed to modify his previous statements that the outlook was dubious. The grow ing distress over the financial muddle beyond the border rather than pos sible hostile action by the de facto has inspired the gloomy view taken by officials here. For three months official dispatches from all sources have laid stress on in creasingly bad economic conditions.
 South America Looks on.
 The Mexican situation Is gravely diplomatic circles. Three members of the corps from South America saw state department of- ficials today. all seeking information as to what is pretending in the dis tressed republic.
 Britain Interested.
 Sir Cecil Spring Rice, British ann bassador, also talked Mexican mat ters over with state and war depart nent officials.
 The state department issued the fol- owing summary of it's advices:
 The department is in receipt of telegram from Mexico City stating hat the authorities of the de facto
