ARREDONDo PROTESTS.
Carranza Representative Takes Things
Into His Own Hands.

Washington. d. c., June 2S.--On his
own responsibility. Eliseo Arredondo, am
bassador designate from the Carranza
government to Washington sent to the
state department yesterday two COM
munications. One complains against the
enforcement Of a general embargo on
shipments to Mexico; the other recitgs
that Mexican citizens have been arrest
ed without cause in California and Ari-
zona.
They warn Secretary Lansing that the
present situation between the two gov
ernments cannot fail to be gravely agra
waited by these matters, although setting
forth that the ambassador assumes that
local authorities, not the state depart.
ment were responsible for the trouble.
So far as is known, the state depart
ment has not been advised of the deten
ton of Mexicans. 1t is an open secret,
however, that a practical embargo on
commerce between the United States and
Mexico is being enforced effectually by
customs and army officers without the
authority of a formal proclamation.

under what sovereignty they shall be
governed
