BULLETIN.

Washington, June 26.-Seeretary
Lansing's note to the de facto gov
ernment reached Mexico City last
night and Special Agent Rodgers ar
ranged to deliver it immediately.
This was reported in cablegram
from Mr. Rodgers sent last night and
received today
Washington, D. G., June 20
Whether state OF war shall exist be-
tween the United States and the de
facto government Of Mexico depends
upon the formal declaration Of policy
by General Carranza, expected hourly
today in response to the note telc-
graphed to Mexico City yesterday by
Secretary Lansing.
The American government will in
sist upon the immediate release Of
the cavalrymen captured at Carrizal,
as demanded in the note, but high
officials Of the administration explain
in interpreting the communication
that the course OF the United States
will be determined by Carranza's final
statement ,of his intentions toward
the American expedition in Mexico
to protect the border rather than or
the specific circumstances of the Car
rizal incident,
The War department had not re-
ceived at an early hour the letter from
Captain Morey Of the Tenth cavalry
giving the first official American ver-
sions of the fighting at carrizal.
Study Morey's Letter.
The published text Of Captain Nor
ey's letter was construed as indicat-
ing that the American force was to
some extent responsible for the clash.
Officials noted this fact, but said that
an official accoast from Captain Nor
ey would be the basis Of judgment
rather than the hurried note written
by man who was expecting death
and was suffering from wounds and
thirst. .-y4---ae-. s-s~s.-
1t was pointed out, however, that
Secretary Lansing's note did not
found Its demands upon q statement
that Mexicans precipitated the fight.
Apparently the question has no direct
connection with the course President
Wilson is pursuing. The Mexican
note saying General Carranza person.
ally directed that General Treyino
resist any movement OF the American
troops in Mexico except on retire.
ment toward the border Is the real
issue.
The Washington government con.
strued this action as, a formal avowal
of deliberate hostile action. 1t de-
mands,that il this is Carranza's pur-
pose he should so state through reg
ular diplomatic channels.
Congress Is Informed.
Members Of congress were in
formed Of all phases Of the situation
during the day by the chairman of

had'a long conference with the presi-
dent last night. The president then
indicated that he might desire to a.,
dress the house and senate soon, but
no steps toward arranging for joint
session will be taken until the Cartaii-
"a reply is received. ltis understood
