washington, July 5.-The reply or
the de facto government of Mexico
to the demands of the United States,
conciliatory in terms. and giving as
, surances of a desire to reach a
friendly adjustment of the Difficult
ties between the two countries, was
delivered to the State Department
today by a Mexican embassy attache.
The text of the note, as transmit
ted by Eliseo Arrendondo, the
Mexican ambassador designate, fol-
lows:
Washington, ID. c., July 4, 1916.
Mr.. Secretary: l have the honor
to transmit in connection the text of
a note have just received from my
government with instructions to pre-
sent it to Your Excellency:
"'Mr. Secretary: Referring to
the notes of June 20 and rs last, l
have the honor to say to Your Ex-
cellency that the immediate release
OF the Carrizal prisoners was a fur
Their proof of the sincerity OF the de-
sires of this government to reach a
pacific and satisfactory arrangement
of present difficulties. This govern
ment is anxious to solve the present
conflict, and it would be unjust II its
attitude were misinterpreted.
1T was also the Mexican govern
ment that earnestly suggested a plan
for environments along the boundary
line during the conferences of Cut
dad Juarez and Ell Paso.
This government is disposed
now. as it has always been, to seek
an immediate solution of the two
points which constitute the true caus-
es of the conflict between the two
countries, to-wit:
1.-The American government be-
lieves reasonably that the insecure
ty of its frontier is a source of diff
Guilty and the Mexican government.
on its part, believes that the stay of
American troops on Mexican terrific
ry, aside from being a trespass on
the sovereignty of Mexico, is the
immediate cause of the conflicts.
Therefore the withdrawal of Ameri-
can troops. on one hand and the pro-
lection of the frontier. on the other,
are the two essential problems, the
, solution of which must be the di-
recting object of the efforts of both
governments.
Quick Practical Way.
1.-The Mexican government is will
ing to consider in quick and prac-
tical way, and prompted by spirit
of concord. the remedies which
should be applied to the present sit
uation.
"'Several Latin-American coun-
tries have offered their friendly me-
diation to the Mexican government.
and the latter has accepted it in
principle. Therefore, the Mexican
government only awaits information
that the government of the United
States would be disposed to accept
this mediation for the purpose men
toned above or whether ii is still of
the belief that the same results may
be attained by means of direct nego-
tiations between both governments.
"In the meantime this govern
ment proposes to employ all efforts
that may be at its disposal to avoid
the reoccurrence of new incidents
which may complicate and aggravate
the situation. At the same time 1t
hopes that the American government
on it's part may make use of all eff
forts to prevent also new acts of its
military and civil authorities OF the
frontier that might cause new COM
plications.
at avail myself of this opportuni-
ty to reiterate to Your Excellency
the assurance of my most distin-
guished consideration.
