Activity Of Bandit Leaders.

is again invited to the well known and
unrestricted activity of de la Rosa

IN connection with border raids and to
the TACT that, as l am advised, up to

progress of Villa to and from Column
ous. and the fact that the American
forces in pursuit of the Glenn Springs
marauders penetrated 1853 miles into

not indicate that the Mexican govern

further raids; and If it Is doing "alJ
possible, this Is not sufficient to pre-

Hostility of the Commanders.

| AoSI11ty Oh the commanders.
In view of the actual state of affairs
as I have outlined it above. 1 am now
| in a position to consider the conclu-
sions which you have drawn in your
| note under acknowledgment from the
erroneous statements of fact which you
| have set forth.
| Your government intimates. II 1t does
| not openly charge, that the attitude of
the United States is one of insincerity
| distrust and suspicion toward the de
| factor government of Mexico, and that
| the intention of the United States in
sending its troops into Mexico is to ex-
| tend its sovereignty over Mexican ter
ritory. and not merely for the purpose
| future raids across the border. The de
| facto government Of Mexico, and that
| ton; which admits Of but one interpre-
| tatfon, that this government has as it's
| object territorial aggrandizement even
at the expense of war of aggression
| against neighbor weakened by years
of civil strife. The government Of the
| United States. II 1t had had designs
have had no difficulty in finding during
! this period Of revolution and disorder
many plausible arguments for inter-
vention in Mexican affairs. Hoping.
would through their own efforts re-
store peace and establish an orderly
! government. the United States has
awaited with patience the consumma-
| ton of the revolution.
! When the superiority of the revolu-
tionary faction led by Gen. Carranza
| became undoubted. the United States,
| after concerning with six others OF the
American republics. recognized uncon-
| ditionally the present de facto govern
| ment. 1t hoped and expected that that
| government would speedily restore or
| der and provide the Mexican people and
| others, who had given their energy and
substance to the development of the
| great resources of the republic, oppor-
| tunity to rebuild in peace and security
| their shattered fortunes.
| This government has waited month
| after month for the contamination of
| it's hope and expectation. In spite of
| increasing discouragements. in spite of
| repeated provscations to exercise force
| in the restoration of order in the north
| ern regions of Mexico, where American
| interests have suffered most seriously
| from lawlessness, the government of
| the United States has refrained from
| aggressive action, and sought by ap-
peals and moderate though explicit de-
mands to impress upon the de facto
government the seriousness of the sit
| uation and to arouse 1t to its duty to
perform its international obligations
| toward citizens Of the United States
who had entered the territory of Mexi-
60 or had vested interests within its
b. undaries.

In reply to this sweeping charge. 1
can truthfully affirm that the Ameri-
can government has given every pos
sible encouragement to the de facto
government In the pacifcation and re-
Mobilization of Mexico. From the mo-
ment Of it's recognition. it has had the
undivided support of this government.
An embargo was placed upon arms and
ammunition going in to Chihuahua,
Sonora and Lower California, in order
to prevent their falling into the hands
of the armed opponents of the de facto
government. Permission has been
granted from time to time, as request
ed. for Mexican troops and equipment
to traverse American territory from
one point to another in Mexico in order
that the operations of Mexican troops
against Villa and HIS forces might be
facilitated. In view Of these friendly
acts, am surprised that tho de facto

London. April G,13 p. MIA
Scotch correspondent in a certain

Scotland has had its experience
with q Zeppelin raid last night. A
Zeppelin appeared ten minutes before
midnight and circled over the town
for forty minutes, dropping many
bombs. Warming Of the enemy's ap-
proach was given the people by the
electric lights being cut off Every
body remained calm and many per-
sons ventured into the streets to get
o better view of the raider. No
building of public importance was
struck but much damage was done in
the residential quarter
Five persons were killed in a
passage leading TO tenement build
ing whose occupants were obliged to
make their exist by means of fire es-
capes. Two servant girls employed
in a Doctors house were killed while
a man was killed in the street Two
hotels were struck and several per-
sons were killed or injured. a bomb
in one instance penetrated q building
from the roof to the basement"
Another Scottish correspondent
tells Of the arrival of Zeppelin over
the same unnamed town shortly be-
fore midnight An incendiary bomb
was dropped and it Immediately set
fire to q building, which bla2ed up in
such Il manner that the correspond
ent said the glare must have revealed
the whole countryside TO the Germans.
The subsequent movements of the
machine, the correspondent adds. sug-
gested that 1t was able to determine
its location. Bombs continued to fall
in quick succession. Several narrow
" missed prominent buildings, but
many others landed harmlessly in
open spaces.
There were so many persons in the
street that it was not surprising that
numerous casualties resulted, due to
flying glass and splinters of wood
The most serious damag, both to life
and property. was in the densely pop
Ilated poorer districts of the town.
