Direct Negotiations Preferred.

AS a matter of general principle the Washington government already has favored mediation of any dispute suit able for such procedure. There is every indication. however. that in the present instance it will be deemed de- sirable to conduct forthcoming nego- tiations directly with the Carranza government.
 Members of the Latin-American di, plomatie corps here are expected to make inquiry soon as to the attitude of the Washington government. in 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- quiries 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 a 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 Probably the prelimi- nary steps necessary TOT the inaugura- ton of the informal discussion will be taken then.

forts to prevent also new acts of its military and civil authorities on the frontier that might cause new compli- cations"
 While the object of the negotiations is thus clearly outlined and appears acceptable to the State Department, the subjects to be considered specif- cally will have to be arranged later. President Wilson has made it clear time and again that gradual withdraw. al of the expeditionary force would be ordered once he was assured that Car ranza forces would be employed ac- lively in breaking up bandit prepara- tfons for new raids. It has been noted already that the Mexican troops have occupied and polieed the territory re- linquished by Gen. Pershing as he drew his men northward Army off. eers believe that this, taken in con nection with the new assurances given in the note, may lead to complete withdrawal of the force as rapidly as possible without endangering the border.

Embaroo on Raw Hides.

Washington. - Secretary Lansing promised committee representing branches of the shoe and leather in- dustries he would endeavor to have lifted the embrago placed upon raw hides by Russia and other European countries. The committee told MT. Lansing that solely because of the em- bargoes shoes have already been ad- yanced an average of $1 a pair and that the prices are likely to go higher.

Two Problems Are Presented.
The text of the note follows:

The text of the note follows:
 Washington, D. c.
 MT. Secretary-I have the honor to transmit in continuation the text of note l have just received from my government with instructions to pre- sent it to your exce1lency:
 MT. Secretary-Referring to the notes of June 20 and 25, last, I have tho honor to say to your excellency that the immediate release of the Carrizal prisoners was further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this government to reach a pacific and sat isfactory arrangement of present diff faculties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be unjust if it's attitude were misinterpreted.
 It was also the Mexican govern ment that earnestly suggested a plan for cantonments alongs the boundary line during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and Fl Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has always been, te 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 ernment believes reasonably that the insecurity of it's frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican government on it's part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory, aside from being trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico, is the imme- diate cause of the conflicts. There fore. the withdrawal of American troops. on the one hand, and the pro- tection 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.

CARRANzA REPLY

 GOOD IMPRESSION
WASHINGTON PREFERS DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS TO MEDIATION
 MEXICAN NOTE FRIENDLY.
sEC'Y LANSING IS SATISFIED
Plans For Border eantonments Urged in Carranzas Reply--Mexicans Suggest Guard on Each Side
 of the Border.

Washington.-Ea resumption of friendly diplomatic conversations with the de faeto government of Mexico to the end that peace and order may be restored in northern Mexico and along the border is expected here to be the next step of the United States in it's relations with it's southern neighber.
 The crisis precipitated by Villas raid on Columbus, N. M., and culmi- mating in the fight at Carrizal be- tween American and Mexican troops appeared to have been dissipated by an amicable note from Gen. Carranza presented by his ambassador designate here, Eliseo Arredondo.
 The note proposes that the differ ences between the governments be settled by mediation or by direct ne- gotiations. It is remarkable for it's brevity it's restrained and friendly tone and for the absolute lack of any of the strong, even insolent language which characterized the last two com. munieations from the de faeto govern ment. It treats as closed incident the exchange of unfriendly commun1- cations which brought war almost within sight.
 No formal comment on the note was obtainable from State Department of fcials. A copy was forwarded to the White House immediately upon it's re- ceipt and President Wilson will deter mine the course to be pursued. The fact that Secretary Lansing complet- ed preparations for months vaca. tion is regarded as significant, how. ever, of a feeling on his part that the crises is over.

QUIET ON BORDER
 AS TROOPS ARRIVE
INDEPENDENCE DAY PASSES PEAcEABLY ON BOTH SIDES
 -GuARDSMEN APPoRTloNED.
ARMY WILL BE CHANGEABLE
All euardsman Stationed at Strategic Points in Such Manner as to Make Rapid Move in Any One Gen.
 eral Direction.

San Antonio, Texas.-While Gen. Funston and his staff were working out the details of placing all the troops, both regular and guardsmen, on tactical basis, close scrutiny of movements across the information al line was kept by border command CTS. It was feared that the celebra- tion of Independence Day in border towns might give rise to some 1nci- dent capable of growing into a clash with Mexicans, but reports from all quarters indicated comparative quiet.
 Some excitement was caused here during the Fourth of July parade when Jesus Alamanso, a Mexican, was over powered by the crowd. Alamanso made an insulting gesture when that section of the parade headed by the acting mayor passed. Some one cried that a Mexican had insulted the flag" and only the arrival of police saved Alamanso from injury He was taken to police headquarters and later released.
 The big movement of guardsmen to- ward the border continutd unabated One of Maine's regiments of infantry passed through here on it's station in the Laredo district and more Missou- ri troops reached Laredo, passing through here. The heavy New York movement to the Brownsville district was continued, the first squadron or cavalry and the second battalion of artillery from that state going through here When all the troops are sra- toned, New York will have repre- sentation on the border of about 22,000
 Little was known here of the troops that are being sent to Fl Paso and stations west of there, but it is known that before the War Department adopted Gen. Funston's suggestion to divide the southern department into three commands he and his staff had worked out station list with the idea of providing adequate forces so far as possible for all districts from which men might be drawn for general opera tions in Mexico. When the two gen eral officers designated under the new plan of providing a field army forma- tion assume charge of the work in the west they will find already there all the men now available and so dis, posed they can be moved easily to any positions the new commanding officers may desire.

Would Prevent Border Incidents.

The Mexican government is will ing 10 consider in a quick and practi- cal way and prompted by a spirit of concern the remedies which should be applied to the present situation.
 Several Latin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government. and the latter has accepted it in principle Therefore, the Mexican government only awaits information that the gov ernment of the United States would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above, or whether 1t is still of the belief that the same results may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments.
 sIn the meantime, this government proposes to employ all efforts that
The Pulaskian., 1916-07-07

may be at it's disposal to avoid the re- currenee of new incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situa- tion. At the same time it hopes that the American government on it's part may make use of all efforts to prevent also new acts of it's military and civil authorities of the frontier that might cause new complications.
 I avail myself of this opportunity to reiterate to your excellency the as suranee of my most distinguished con- sideration.
 "tSigned) c. AGUILAR.,
 Having thus compiled with higher instructions of my government, it af- lords me pleasure to reiterate to your excelleney the assurance of my high est consideration.

San Antonio.-American troopers are again across the Rio Grande, bandit chasing Capt. Leroy Eltinge, in command at Fabens, Texas, crossed the river with detachment of his troops of the Eighth Cavalry, in pur. suit of eight Mexicans who raided near ForS Hancock and ran off mum, Der of cattle.
 Gen. Funston stated that unless El- tinge found a hot trail and had good prospects of coming up with the ma. rauders he would return to the Ameri- can side. He said it was not the Tn. tention that this little expedition should remain long on Mexican soil
 Eltinge had orders from Brig.-Gen. Bell to be careful to avoid contact with Carranzista soldiers.
 Capt. Eltinge crossed the Rio Grande, picked upon the trail and fol lowed it a short distance, but found that it led him back toward the river at a point lower down. He was unable to discover an indication by that time as to the location of the bandits and recrossed to the American side. Capt. E1tinge's report made no mention of encountering any Mexican troops.
 All reports received at Gen. Fun ston's headquarters indicated nothing more exciting along the international line than the exchange of shots De- tween sentries at Nogales. Apparent ly no early offensive by the concen' trated forces of the Mexicans in front of Gen. Pershing's positions was con templated.
 All officers commanding troops along the 1,700 miles of border have been cautioned to avoid clashes wlth the Mexican troops that face them, put the recurrence of such incidents as that at Nogales has caused staff officers 10 fear that an incident may occur ae any time that may serve as the pasls for further completing situation ar ready bad

wiJlino to Withdraw Troops.


 State Department officials appeared entirely satisfied with the definition of the matters to be settled outlined in the new Mexican note. It is present ed in this language, as translated at the embassy.
 sThe American government be- lieves, reasonably, that the insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican government on it's part believes that the stay of Ameri- can troops on Mexican territory, aside from being trespass on the sover- eighty of Mexico, is the immediate cause of the conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of American troops, on the one hand, and the protection of the frontier, on the other, are the two essential problems. the solution of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both governments"
 Coupled with this definition is an outline of a sort of military status quo beyond the border which the de facto government suggests as a sub stitute for it's previous demands for immediate withdrawal of the Amerl- can troops It is stated as follows:
 in the meantime" (pending media ton or direct negotiation) this gov ernment proposes to employ all eff forts that may be at it's disposal to avoid recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and aggrayate the situation At the same time it hopes that the American government on it's part may make use Of all ef
