Saws Scott Filled

Says Scott FiHed
 The note declares that General Scott and Funston then assured Gen eral Obregon that no pursuit of the Boquillas raiders had been ordered, and that no more American soldiers would enter Mexican territory This assurance" it adds, was reiterated by General Scott himself in a later private conversation with Juan Naftali Amador. sub-secretary of foreign af- fairs, who had had opportunity to take part in the conferences.
 Because of the possibility of other raids. General Obregon then suggested to the American officers a plan of distribution of troops along the border by both governments to prevent such incidents, the note says, thus showing not only the good faith of the de facto government, but also its frank willingness to arrive at an effective cooperation"
 General Scott insisted on the form of memorandum and the conference adjourned leaving the minister to ad- vance other means of arriving at an agreement.
 The Mexican government. il is de- clared, cannot assume that the United States government has committed an error a second time in ordering the crossing with the consent of the gov ernment of Mexico, or that the com mander of the American troops acted without due authorization flom his government.
 Deems It "Invasion."
 This latter act of the American forces causes new complications for the Mexican government. increasing the difficulties of finding a satisfac- tory solution and the tenseness of the international situation.
 Wants Withdrawal Now. The Mexican government cannot consider this last incident except as an invasion of our territory and it is l our duty to request the American government to order the immediate withdrawal of these forces and to abstain from sending another eXpedi- ton of similar nature.
 It adds: Since American troops are physically unable to protect the line on the American side" the difficulties | Ol liiG h6AlCdAA -ONClAillAGul SuOuiu Ut appreciated. Every possible effort in that direction had been made, il ! says, and insists that raids by ir responsible outlaws should call for 'pecuniary preparation and resolution
 to adopt a combined defense, bu; ] never a cause for American authori
 ties to invade our national territory | It refers to the Columbus expedition as ''interned in the state of Chihuahua and also upon its withdrawal adding 1 Threatens Fight.
 The Mexican government under
 stands that in the face of the refusa
 of the American government to with
 draw the advance forces, it has nc
 other reason than to procure tn, defense of its territory by means O. arms: but it understands at the samt time its duty to avoid as far as pos sible an armed conflict between th, two countries and acting in accord
 ance with the treaty of February
 1S4S. it considers it its duty to resor to all means of a peaceful character to iindta solution of the internstiona
 conflict in which these countries arc involved"
 The clash al Parral is asserted tC
 have been due to the secrecy witt : which the American military authori { ties surrounded their operations. The Columbus expedition" it says
 has carried into effect without any l harmony but on- the contrary, under a spirit of distrust of our authorities as our cooperation was not only un suspected. As evidence of this dis | trust the note cites the fact that the i expedition included artillery and in ' fantry.. the use of which cannot be explained in any other way which a | precaution against probable attack or the part of the Mexican forces" The | United States, it is asserted, now keeps it's troops it's troops idle in Mex leo rather than post them on the American side Of the line.
 As a matter of fact what could the great number of diplomatic representa-. , tions made under the preteXt of pro
