just received from my government
with instructions TO present it to your
excelency:
MIR. Secretary:
Referring TO the notes of June 20
and % last, | have the honor TO say
to your excellency that the immediate
release of the Carrizal prisoners was
further proof of the sincerity of the
desires OF this government to reach Il
pacific and satisfactory arrangement
of present difficulties. This govern
ment in anxious to solve the present
conflict and 1t would be unjust If its
attitude would be misinterpreted.
Urges Withdrawal of Troops.
lit was also the Mexican govern
ment that earnestly suggested a plan
for environments along the boundary
line during the conferences of Ciudad
Juarez and FL Paso This govern
ment is disposed now, at it has always
been. TO seek an immediate solution
of the two points which constitute the
true causes of the conflict between the
two countries, to wit: the American
government believes reasonably that
the insecurity OF its frontier is a
source of difficulty. and the Mexican
government on it's part believes that
the stay of American troops on Mexi-
can territory, aside from being a tres
pass on the sovereignty of Mexico,
is the immediate cause Of the conflict.
Therefore. the withdrawal of Amer
lean troops. on the enc hand, and the
protection of the frontier, 0G the 9TH
er. are the two essential problems. the
solution of which must be the direct
ing object of the efforts of both gov
ernments.
THE Mexican government Is will
ing to consider in a quick and prac-
teal way and prompted by a spirit of
concord the remedies which should be
applied to the present situation.
Several Latin-American countries
have offered their friendly mediation
to the Mexican government, and the
latter has accepted it in principle.
Therefore. the Mexican government
only awaits information that the gov
eminent of the United States would
be disposed to accept this mediation
| for the purpose mentioned above or
whether it is still of the belief that
| the same results may be obtained by
means of direct negotiations between
both governments.
Try to Avoid New Complications.
"In the meantime this government
| proposes 10 employ all efforts that
may be at Its disposal TO avoid the re-
currence of new incidents which may
| complicate and aggravate the situa-

| the American government on its part
may make all efforts to prevent also
| any new ats VI us military ana CIVIL
| authorities on the frontier that may
| cause new complications.
I avail myself Of this opportunity
to reiterate TO your excellency the as
surance Of my most distinguished con.

&C, AGUILAR.
Having thus complied with the
higher instructions of my government,
1t affords me pleasure to reiterate TO
