 nous document, about 12,e00 words long, was laid before President Will son. who at once began considertng how it should be answered.
 No one in oficiaI circles would ats tempt to forecast just what course the president might decide upon There was complete unanimity, how evers in the belief that there would be no immediate withdrawal of the Pershtng expedition. High oficia1s said the de facto government 30 far had utterly failed to 1enonstrate fts bandits and expressed the opinion that the troops would stay in Mexi- co untn this was done. It was sug- gested that the be1lfgerent and un- compromising tone assumed by Carr ranza probably was largely for effect upon the Mexican public and there was little disposition to believe that the de facto government actually con- tennplated an effort to expel the American army by force.
 MT. aArredoudo left the impression that his conference. did not expect taken at their face value, when on handing the communication to Act- ing Secretary Polk, he gave notice that it was not intended as an ulti- rnatum, but as e continuation of the negotiations which have been in pro- gress between the two governments.
 The new note written before the withdrawal of the Langhorne- -Sibley expedition which entered Mexico af- ter the Boduillas raid, was brought to Washington Monday by Manuel Mendez, an attache of the Mexican foreign office. Word of its coming had been received last week, but on Mendezss arrival he insisted that he knew nothing of a note and merely was in the United States on vaca- tfon. Arredondo said last night that l he had heard nothing of a note Today it was explained that Men deg left Mexico City with strict i'm. structions to keep the purpose of his visit secret even from the embassy here until he had communicated with | the foreign office on reaching Wash I ington. His orders to give the com rnunicatton to the ambassador desig= | nate, for presentation to the state de- | partment, it was said, did not arrive until about midnight last night
