 Mexicans Wanted Limitations. The Mexicans contenoed earnestIv for the incorporation in the protocol of clause providing that if troons Ivare sent across the line in pursuit of ban dits they should be moved only fo certain distances; that they should comprise only certain arms of service ana Include only specified number of men; that they should be kept in the country only certain time and thai they must be moved only in cerfa f,,s regions. To all these arguments the Americans were firm in their insist
 ence that there must be no Ifnfta- tions.
 The article providing for the milf tary control of the border was con oensed from elaborate and intricate plans whose consideration has taken much of the time of the Commission The Mexfcans have been insistenf that there should be defined a neutral zone in which the armies of the two governments might operate, but since the consideration of that point fnya- riably brought the commission back to
 the question of limited pursuit it was definitely rejected by the Americans as was the suggestion for co-operation in which American Stroops might find themselves commanded by Mexican of. ficers.
 Mexican Members Non- connnnittaf. The Mexican commissioners were non -comnittal tonight as to their hope of ratification by their first chief The Ambericans "hoped'' General Carrar1-
 "a would approve the acts of his rep
 resentatives, but 1t was manifest they were not undu1y optimistic Through out the conference that began on Sep-s tember 4 the Mexicans have insisted the first chief and his official family would not agree to any violation of Mexican territory
 If the agreement is ratified there will begin a long consideration of the remaining questions that the American government regards as vital to the full restoration of friendly relations with Mexico. These include taxes threats to confiscate property, sanitary condi- tions and claims. Such problems are
 regarded by the Americans as essen tially basic and necessary to an un- dersta nding. Within a few minutes after the pro<ocol was signed the exodus of
 commissioners and attaches began. All the American commissioners were on trains leaving here before dark and
