WASHINGTON. March 20-The de facto government of Mexico today pro- posed to the United States the draft ing cf a proctocol, under which Ameri- can and Mexican troops may help in running to earth Villa and his bandits, without danger of misunderstanding or conflict These facts became known at the meeting between Eliseo Are dondo. Mexican ambassador designate, and Acting Secretary Polk of the State Department Negotiations as 10 the details will be in progress for several days but the two governments are in agreement on the general principals involved.
 The troops of the de facto govern ment are moving with the American forces, according to information re- ceived al the War Department and are planning to render even greater assistance High military officials al lowed it to be known that the Carran- "a a-sovernment had promised to move a large force of its troops from central Mexico to the north, forming a trap into which the American cavalry, un- der Gen.

Officials hold that the United States asks of the de facto government in the instance really less than the latter asked when permission was asked to carry CarranZa troops through American territory.
 The United States, it is understood, is prepared to make every concession possible to the de facto government, it being felt that as American troops are operating on Mexican soil. the de factO government is entitled 10 the greatest possible consideration. It is the desire of officials that nothing be
