J., Nov. 24-A protocol providing for the conditional withdrawal of the American troops now in Chihuahua, Mexico, and for the military control of the border, but the supplemental stipulation that United States troops shall be sent into Mexico in pursuit of bandits at any time the American government deems it neces- sary, was signed here today by the members of the Mexican American joint commission.
 One of the official copies was taken by Alberto J. Pani, of the Mexican commission, who left here tonight for New York whence he will start Mon day for Mexico to submit it to General NenustianO CarranZa for his approval The other copy will be delivered to the American government by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
