ASK FOR SPEED
. IN MEXICAN REPLY
Uncle Sans Patience About
Exhausted Over Delay
Of Carranza's
Letter.
AMERICANS DON'TLEAVE
Quite a Number Still In Mexico and
Refuse to Heed Warning
to Get Out Of tho
Country.

WASHINGTON June s0.-Secre.
tary OF State Lansing today asked
Mexican Ambassador tArredondo TO
speed up General Carranza's reply TO
the last American demand
Lansing told the ambassador frank
1y that the patience OF this govern
ment in the matter Is about exhaust
Led. In this connection he pointed
out that the United States govern
ment had asked originally that Car
ranza's statement pf attitude be
made at once, whereas several days
have now elapsed and all this gov
ernment has had has been the "ex.
pectation" of Consul Rodgers as to
early delivery.
! Lansing believed this forenoon
that he was about to get the message
from Arredondo. The latter visited
!. him without It, but the Indications In
ttheir conference were that CarranZa,s
plan is to send his answer through
the envoy rather than through Consul
Rodgers at Mexico City. Carranza's
delay was partially explained In of
ficial quarters as due perhaps to an
effort on his part to let matters calm
down and IL possible to shape uD with

the cabinet session. Only brief con-
sideration was given the Mexican
situation because OF the presidents
haste to catch train: for New York
where he will speak tonight before
the press club.
Indications hero, however, were
that in this session the members de-
termined that the United States cam
not give Carranza very much more
time to shape once for all his atti-
tude toward this government. AS
for the general policy toward Mexico
and the military situation, cabinet
members said the meeting had not
altered these factors.
The state department has tele-
eraphed Consul Rodgers at Mexico
City that all Americans must Leave
Mexico Immediately or the United
States will not be responsible for
their safety. According to a tele-
gram to Mexican Ambassador Jar
redondo from Mexico City today.
less than 300 Americans have left
Mexico City and not more than 200
from the surrounding territory. the
telegram said A great majority OF
Americans in Mexico City have de-
cided to remain. The Mexico govern
ment has guaranteed the protection
of lives and property of Americans
in the states Of Tobasco and Guam
ajuato, whenever Americans express
"a desire to remain.
Arredondo emphatica1ly denied to-
+ Eday reports from Mexico that Amer
lean property was being confiscated.
! He has received a number of dis
patches lately saying great feeling
exists against MeMcans on the Amer
lean side of the border and that

WASHINGTON, Juno 30.-The big.
gest military appropriations in the
history of the nation have already
been set aside, or are about to be
set aside, by this session Of congress.
Congressman pointed out today that
instead of the quarter OF a billion
dollars customarily appropriated at
each session for military purposes
the present session will chalk up a
record of from three-fifths to three.
fourths of a billion.
Leading expenditures as compared
with largest previous appropriations
are: Navy, $314, ,3S7,343; $149, ,763, ,563
Gin 1899.
