MORGAN LENDS CALL
MONEY TO ENGLAND
Loan OF s25,O0o,OO Made Yesterday
TO Aid British Finance MUM
tons Purchases.

New York, June 7--Another Brit
ish loan OF more than s25.000,0 900,
said to be the forerunner OF still
larger one. was fioated here today
through J. T. Morgan 4 Co. and other
bankers. The money, borrowed on
call is to be used to pay for NUM-
tons purchases in this country, It Ia
believed.
The loan. 1t was stated. was against
further shipments of gold from Otta-
wa. Canada.
Local banks have been loaning
money on call to the British govern
ment ever since tAa beginning Of the
war. IT was learned today. In some
instances American securities on de-
posit with ] p. Morgan a Co. have
been used as collateral pending their
sale.
Today $4,000, 900 more British gold
arrived from Canada. Interior banks
also are sending their reserves to New
York, taking advantage OF the higher
call rate, and also in anticipation OF
further call loans to foreign govern
ments.
/ A loan to Russia. which probably
will amount to $4,000, 900, also Is be-
ing considered by bankers here.

Washington, June 7.-Eliseo Ar
redondo. Mexican ambassador desig-
nate. called on Secretary of State
Lansing this afternoon and asked him
when General CarranZa may expect a
reply to his demand that American
troops be withdrawn from Mexico.
Almost Immediately thereafter Sec
rotary Lansing stated that there is
no present prospects of Q reply to
Carranza." Later. however. II was
learned that a lengthy cipher mes
sage was dispatched to J. L Rodgers
the State Departments special agent
at Mexico City
Mr.. Arredondo's interview with
Secretary Lansing was extremely
brief. Upon leaving the State Depart
ment, NJ. Arredondo explained II as a
Continuation of the discussion OF the
object Of the note from my govern
ment."
Mr.. Arredondo did not predict when
the American answer to General Car
ranza's demands would be delivered to
patience, as II disappointed with the
results of his talks with Secretary
Lansing.
At the State Department II was ex-
planned that all the Information de-
sired before the reply ia framed has
not been gathered.
De La Rosa Plans Raid.
1t was indicated that there is a
present purpose on the part of the ad-
ministration to forward a reply to
Carranza during the st. Louis .conven-
ton. Uneaaness has been caused in
administration quarters by the uncon-
f1rmed report that General Luis de la
Rosa, the Mexican bandit. Is planning
a raid on the southeast frontier.
Army officers point out that a sim
liar warning was given before the
Columbus raid. but no attention was
paid to the report, the State Depart
ment officials being confident that no
attack would be made. It ia the be-
lief Of army officers that do la Rosa
has gathered about him practically all
the disaffected elements in North
eastern Mexico and because of Car
ranza's inability properly TO police the
Big Bend district has been able TO
muster a dangerous band. 1t Is be-
cause of this fact that the rumor OF
the raid is causing anxiety.
Every effort IS being made by the
State and War Departments TO asoer-
tain the whereabouts and strength of
the bandit chief Only vague reports
have thus far been received.
