WASHINGTON, July Tn contem- plation of the diplomatic conversation which it is hoped will result in a set clement of differences between the United States and the de facto gov ernment of Mexico, officials awaited tonight a suggestion from General Car ranZa as to how they should proceed. State department officials believe more can be accomplished through in formal conferences between Eliseo Arredondo and Frank L. Polk, acting secretary of state, than by a more formal exchange of views.
 They are willing to acceed, how ever, to some other plan should the de facto government propose it.
 Lansing's Friendly Missile.
 MT. Arredondo transmitted to his government today a brief and friend ly note handed to him by Secretary Lansing, expressing qualification over the turn affairs between the two gov ernments have taken and accepting proposals for diplomatic settlement of points in dispute The communica-, tion was approved by the cabinet be- fore it was sent to the Mexican em- bassy. The text follows:
 sir: l have the honor to acknow ledge the receipt of your communica- tion of July f, 1916, in which you transcribe a note addressed to me by the Secretary of Foreign Relations of your government and to request that you will transmit to me the following reply:
 Most Courteous.
 MT. Secretary:
 'I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your courteous note transmitted to me by Senor Arredondo on the 4th instant. in which you refer to my notes of June 20 and 18th, and to express the sincere qualification of my government at the frank state ment of the difficulties which have unfortunately arisen in our relations along the international boundary, and the unreserved expression of the de sire of your government to reach an adjustment of these differences on a broad and amicable basis. The spirit of friendship and Of solicitude for the cordial relations between our two countries inspires my government which equally desires an immediate solution of the matters of difference which have long veXed both govern ments.
 Talks of Remedies.
 Tt is especially pleasing to my gov ernment that the de facto government of Mexico is disposed to give quick considerationein a spirit of concord to the remedies which may be applied to the existing, conditions. Recipro- eating these desires the government of the United States hopes to find some practical plan to remove finally and prevent a recurrence of the differences which have been the source of the controversy. Accept. MT. Secretary, the renewed assurances of my highest considera- tion I am Sir,
 Yours very sincerely, (Signed) ROBERT LANSING"
 Not Much to Mediate. The language Of the communication plainly intimates that a speedy solu- ton of that problem will be sought, whatever time may be allowed after ward to find a means of aiding the de facto government in restoring normal economic conditions throughout Mex ico. The definition of the border dis pute submitter by General Carranza in his note suggesting negotiations for a settlement apparently has been found acceptable by the Washington govern ment This virtually narrows the im- mediate object Of the negotiatOrs to consideration of the reasonable anXi- ety of the United States for the se- curity of its frontier, on one hand, and the desire of the de facto govern ment for the early withdrawal of American troops from Mexican terri tory"
 Warning Pleases U. S.
 Additional evidence of the more friendly attitude of the Carranza gov ernment came today in the form of a warning communicated by Mir. Ar redondo to the state department at the direction of General Carranza in connection with the battle between Villa and CarranZa forces at Corral
