Reply Does Not
Touch on Main Points But
Does Not Ask Withdrawal

Mexico City, June 30.-The foreign
office this afternoon issued a three
thousand word statement in reply to
the Lansing note. The statement con.
tains a strenuous denial of many of
the charges made in this communica.
tion with counter charges against the
United States, but does not contain a
repetition of the demand for the with.
drawal of American troops.
(Note-The cable dispatch does not
make it clear whether the statement
was given out by the Mexican foreign
office is the actual answer OF the Mex.
lean government to the American note,
or is simply an official comment pre-.
ceding actual delivery Of the note.l
Replying to the charge that Ameri.
can citizens have been murdered in
Mexico, the statement points out that
because Of internal disturbances, Mex.
lean citizens also have suffered from
the depredations of bandits and rev.
olutionary forces. 1t declares il un.
reasonable to expect that foreigners
should be immune under such circum
stances.
1t is also asserted that in many cas-.

AMERICANS WERE NOT
ALARMED BY WARNING
So Far Public Does Not Know
Carranza Has Returned
Negro Troopers

Mexico City, June 3O.-The foreign
office has practically completed the re-
ply to the last American note. 1t may
be given out within few hours. The
general belief is that the reply will be
pacificatory and will relieve the pos
sibility of war between Mexico and the
United States.
The majority of well informed per-
sons in the capital believe there will
be no hostilities. They base this be-
lief not on their knowledge of deveI-
opments here, but on the attitude of
Wall street and London financial in
terests likely to be affected by war.
Belief in peaceable outcome is
strengthened by General Trevino's re-
port that the American troops have
evacuated Namiquipa, which had been
their base, and other points in Mexico,
retiring northward. The places were
Immediately occupied by constitutional
ist troops
As further evidence of the desire on
the part of Mexican officials for friend
ly relations, it was pointed out that
the American application for the deliv-
cry of bodies of soldiers killed at Car
rial met with an immediate friendly
response. General Trevino, under direct
orders from General Carranza, notified
General Bell at FL PasO that no obstacle
would be offered by Mexican authori-
ties to the return Of the bodies.
Mines at Work Again.
So strong is the feeling of confidence
in peaceful settlement that only Few
Americans were disturbed by message
sent by Secretary Lansing Tuesday
night peremptOrily warning all Amer
leans out of Mexico at once, under pen
atty of assuming grave responsibilities.
Most of those remaining in the capital
feel assured of protection and refuse to
abandon their business and property.
The Pachuca mines have all resumed
operations. Many foreigners among the
employees, who fled to Vera Cruz during
the first days of the crisis have been
instructed to return. Mexico City is alb
