United States and Carranza
May Be Able to Settle
Their Differences
TONE OF THE REPLY
LEADS TO BELIEF
Undoubtedly Despatch of
Troops to the Border Had
Considerable Influence

Washington, D. c., July g. After a
White House to-day, Secretary of State
Lansing said he thought a reply would
soon be made TO Carranza' = note. II was
understood that all negotiations between
this government and Carranza will be
conducted through regular diplomatic
channels and directly between the two
governments.
Secretary Lansing was with President
Wilson about 20 minutes and said he
went over most of the important mat
ters now before the state department.
Secretary Lansing starts on his vacation
TO morrow but will attend the cabinet
meeting before leaving.
Officials believe that the call for the
National Guard and the actual dispatch
of the troops to the border was the inn
pelling influence which induced General
Carranza to abandon the hostile atti
tude in his previous notes, They say
the United States holds a strong argu-
ment in favor of peaceful solution OF
border difficulties as long as it maintains
an army near the line and there seems
little probability that they will with.
draw until danger has passed.
J'nquestionably, if no new bandit out
breaks occur, the National Guardsmen
will be gradually sent back to their
homes II originally was planned that
only part Of the force be used on the
border the remainder being sent later
to relieve regiments which had put in
the required time at active service. II
: possible that this scheme will be fol
owed later.

ment Agreement Was
Made.

Washington, ID, G., July Another
engagement between ESQ revolutionists in
Santo Domingo and American marines, in
which q Dominicans were killed and five
were captured and one marine was killed
and eight were wounded was reported TO
the navy department to-day by Rear Ad.
miral Caperton. The fight occurred July
before the tentative agreement was
made for disarmament OF the rebels.
The agreement was regarded by Off
cials here as indicating the collapse of
the revolution led by General Arias, and
as foreshadowing an early restoration of
peace in the turbulent little republic so
that the contemplated new regime with
American supervision similar 10 that now
exercised in Haiti might soon be estab-
lished.
Admiral Caperton. American Minister
Russell and the archbishop of Santo Do

ence. co operating with the commissions
representing the Ariss and government
factions. The admiral himself submitted
the proposal for disarmament. The peace
asked that the conference
also discuss internal affairs and the flu
ture form OF government, but withdrew
their suggestion for tine time being on
the admirals promise that the American
forces would pursue and break up all
forces operating against the peace of the
country.
