Mexico City, June 30.-The foreign office today issued a memorandum in reply to Secretary Lansing's recent note. in which the correctness of as sertions in the communication from Washington were repeatedly denied The memorandum declares that the United States had no right to main tain its armed forces on Mexican soil.
 Contains 35 Counts.
 The memorandum contains 35 counts. Although not in the form of a direct reply to the Washington note it is considered equivalent to an an swer to that document. It express es surprise that the Washington gov- ernment should have been pained at the tone and the contents of the Car ranza document, since it maintains that the United States has sent to tue constitutional government not only one but many discourteous and overbearing notes.
 Denies Right of U. s. Troops.
 Emphatically reiterating the Mex ican governments position denying the right of the United States to keep armed bodies in Mexico, the memo randum denies energetically that the Mexican government has protected bandits who had committed depreda- tons in the United States and defieS Washington to produce proof of the assertion.
 Scott and Funston Accused of Bad
 Faith.
 Blame for the Santa Ysabel mas sacre is placed on the so-caIIed impuI- sive and irascible disposition of Charles Watson, general manager of Cusihuiriachi company; and Gener- al Scott and General Funston are ac- eused of bad faith and lack of hon. or in misleading General Obregon in an alleged evasive reply regarding the crossing of the American troops into Mexico after the Glenn Springs raid. Says U. s. Feared Huerta Was Plot
 ting With Germany.
 The memorandum asserts that while it is true that the United States ar rested General Huerta. the motive which prompted this act was not purpose of aiding the constitutionalist government but because the United States feared that General Huerta was plotting with Germany.
 The note concludes by declaring that the presence of American troops in Mexico invites rather than prevents bandit raids along the border.

Hughes took up the chief issues of the day and went over the tentative cam paign plans. Mrs. Hughes presided at the luncheon and participated in the discussion.
 Talked Earnestly Until Train Game In
 Apparently the time was too short for a full exchange of opinions, for af- ter the conference was over and MT. Taft stood waiting at the railroad sta- tiOn for his train, MT. Hughes drew him aside for a final word. They group that had surrounded them and continued in confidential converse atiOn, emphasized by earnest gestures, until the train pulled in.
 Taft in Excellent Humor.
 MT. Taft appeared to be in excellent humOr as he alighted from the auto mobile in which the nominee had ac- companied him to the station.
 T am for Judge Hughes" he said, T want to see him elected and shall do all I can to assist him."
 twill you take the stump for him 9" some one asked.
 T shall obey orders" he replied. Monday I shall go to Murray Bay, Canada, for three months. When however, it might be better for MT. Hughes if I were to stay quietly in Canada until election day and then cross over and vote for him."
 MT. Taft laughed He was asked again if he would make any speeches for MT. Hughes.
 Places Himself in Class With Bryan.
 Did you ever hear of my refusing to make a speech?' he asked. "Why, Brother Bryan and I are the champion long distance speakers of the world We are in the same class. I am will ing to do anything that will help out"
 MT. Taft was asked about the re- port that he would speak from the same platform as MT. Hughes and Col onel Roosevelt.
 "A sort of three ring circus?' ques- toned the former president, his eyes twinllling, Don't you think that would be wasting a lot of oratoricaI ammunition on one audience?''
 Mir. Taft had nothing to say as to his views on political issues nor as to a report that he might soon meet Col Roosevelt.
 Hughes Dictates Statement.
 After MT. Taft's train had left MT. Hughes dictated this statement:
 q have wanted for some time to meet Judge Taft and have an oppor- tunity of going over matters with him. He was kind enough to come down here and we have had very full talk and I enjoyed it very much.'
 MT. Hughes day, except for the two hour visit of MT. Taft, was devoted chiefly to recreation. He played golf in the forenoon, dictating letters be- tween plays. This afternoon a nov ing picture squad spent two hours filming the republican presidential nominee and his family.

SHOT THREE MEN IN
 A BRIDGEPORT SALOON
Joseph La Sale Claimed One of tht
 Men Had Held Him Up


 Bridgeport, Conn, June 30.-Joseph La Sale, aged 19, of New York, shot three men in saloon here tonight, then jumped into a passing automobile and after frightening out all the occu- pants except the chauffeur, pressed his revolver against the drivers head and ordered him to put on all speed. The chauffeur did so, but drove the car into a curb, wreczing it. aL Sale held a big crowd at bay with his gun for a considerable time, but finally quietly surrendered to a policeman.
 La. Sale said he shot the men be- cause George Flynn, one of them, had beaten him last night after he had held up Flynn and robbed him. In ex. pIanation of the holdup, La Sale said that Flynn had beaten him in a gam< bling game a short time previously.
 La Sale will also be charged, with John Heating of New York, with ho1dS ing up a trolley car crew here a week ago. Heating was arrested a short time before the shooting affray. MilS dred Brown, aged 15, of New York, iS another prisoner in a complication ot charges against Heating and La Sallet

Supplies Are Ample.
 With regard to ordnance and quar- termaster's supplies for the army now being forwarded to the front, it was said officially that ample provision has been made for all the present force and also to care for proper re- serves. There is no shortage of small arms or ammunition and field artil- lery can be supplied faster than men can be trained to handle the guns.
 Considering the great distances the troops are forced to travel to reach the border, officials feel that excep- tional speed is being made with the movements south. There is no in stance, it is stated, where trains have not been available at the time and place they were called for and the CO., operation of railroad traffic experts with departmental quartermasters has procured right of way for troop and supply trains over all other traffic.
 Officers of General Staff EIated.
 Officers of the general staff are elated over the success of the plans they had mapped out for such a mo- bilization. It has been accomplished through standardization of authority, placing on each official a definite duty he is to perform without reference to any higher authority and requiring that he perform it promptly.

ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
 ARE BECOMING IMPATIENT
Over Delay of carranza Government in
 Replying to American Demand.


 Washington, June 3O.-While ad- ministration officials manifested inn patience today over the delay of the Carranza government in replying to the American demand for an eXplana- tion of it's purposes, private adviCes from Merico City indicated that a de- liant answer was being prepared there.
 No Mexican Reply Yet.
 The state department has had no information as to when the Mexican response would be sent or how it would be transmitted. Secretary Lans- ing called this fact to the attention of Eliseo ArredOndo, Mexican ambassa- dor designate, and indicated that he did not understand the delay in view of the statement in the American note of last Sunday that an early answer was expected MT. Arredondo, who had called to announce formally the release of the Carrizal prisoners, said he had not heard from his government on the subject.
 Although Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City was informed two days ago that he might expect to be hand ed the Mexican note today, he has made no mention of it in later des- puatches. Some officials believed it possible the communication would come through MT. Arredondo and that Its actual delivery would be condition ed on the situation at the time he re- celVeQ II. bIIOTLS at arranging ueQl- ation, favored by Carranza officials, led to the belief that the reply would be withheld at the last moment if there seemed any chance that the Washington government would listen to such proposals.
 Break Between Countries Unavoidable.
 The private messages, sent by per- sons in a position to speak with some authority as to General Carranza's at gaAsz break between the two courtnies was unavoidable. There appeared to be complete agreement among members of the Mexican cabinet it was indi- cated, that orders to General Trevino to attack American troops moving in any direction except toward the bor- der be read1rmed.
