American Joint commission. which
failed to effect an adjustment Of the
questions at issue between Mexico

late Monday.
Secretary OF the Interior Lane and

The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution OF
the commission the Mexican problem
reverted TO President Wilson. They
we're careful not to leave In the minds
OF the Mexicans the conviction that
the President would accept the recon.
mendation that an accredited diplo.
mat be sent to Mexico and that Gen
eral Pcrshing's force would be with.
drawn. but the intlmation that he
would do so was conveyed.
In spite OF tho Americans care.
however. the Mexicans had iittlo
doubt that full diplomatic relations
between the two governments would
be resumed and that unless unexpect.
cd complications arise the American
troops will be removed from Mexican
territory within a few days. The
probability OF such action was includ.
cd In the report Of the last meeting
which was telcgraphcd to General
Carranza at Qucrctaro.

Idly In the capital city Of Mexico and
the people are rejoicing greatly. 1t
is the most pleasing news since the

There is one stipulation on the re.

Murgia should replace the troops OF
General Pershing with Carranza
troops and they are to guarantee that
they will hold the positions now held
by the troops from the state or In.
crease the tenancy Of such troops.
This is done In order to prevent villa
from gaining advantage Of escape
toward the American border. 1t is
also stipulated that General Murgia
shall prevent as near as possible any
raids on the American side.
High officials In Mexico City and
the people in general consider this a
great move toward prevention OF final
Interference by the American sol
diers.
