TROUBLE
VIRTUALLY ENDED
cARRANZA PROMISES ALL EF-
FORTS TO PREVENT MORE
BORDER INCIDENTS.
MEXICAN NOTE FRIENDLY
The Way Has Been Opened For An
Amicable Adjustment Of the
Dispute as to the Dor.
der Situation.

Washington.-The crisis between
the United States and Mexico is vir-
tually at an end, as the result of a
friendly and conciliatory note from
the de facto government which has
Just reached Washington.
The text Of the note is as follows:
referring to the notes Of June 20
and 20 last, | have the honor to say to
your excellency that the immediate re-
lease Of the Carrizal prisoners al a
further proof Of the sincerity Of the
desires Of this government to reach a
pacific and satisfactory arrangement
of present difficulties. This govern
ment Is anxious to solve the present
conflict and it would be unjust II its
attitude was misinterpreted,
1T was also the Mexican govern
ment that earnestly suggested a plan
for environments along the boundary
line during the conferences Of Ciudad
Juarez and FL Paso. This government
is disposed now, as 1t has always been,
to seek an immediate solution Of the
two points which constitute the true
causes of the conflict between the two
countries, to-wit: The American gov
eminent believes reasonably that the
insecurity of its frontier is a source
of difficulty and the Mexican govern
ment, on its part, believes that the
stay Of American troops on Mexican
territory, aside from being a trespass
on the sovereignty Of Mexico, is the
immediate cause OF the conflicts.
Therefore, the withdrawal Of American
troops, on 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.
"The Mexican government Is willing
to consider in a quick and practical
way. and prompted by a spirit of con
cord, 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 1t in principle.
Therefore, the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov
eminent OF the United States would
be disposed to accept this mediation
for the purpose mentioned above, or
whether it Is still Of the belief that the
same results may be attained by means
Of direct negotiations between both
governments.
"ln the meantime, this government
proposes to employ all efforts that
may be at its disposal to avoid the
recurrence of new incidents which may
complicate and a~ggravate the situa-
ton. At the same time, II hopes that
the American government on its part
may make use of all efforts to prevent
also new acts Of its military and civil
authorities of the frontier that might
cause new complications.
81 avail myself of this opportunity
to ~reiterate to your excellency the as
surance Of my most distinguished con-
s%ideration.
