Mo Protest Received.

Washington, Aug. 2i.-The Mexican
ambassador here nas been instructed
by his government to protest - the
state department against the dispatch
of American troops across the border
and to request their withdrawal, &C
ecording to a statement issued at Mex
leo City yesterday. trwas said at. the
state department today that no pro-
test had been made by Ambassad dor
l;onillas.
Troops May Clash.
Carrnnza troops and the American
punitive expedition pursuing bandits in
Mexica may clash.
This possibility was indicated last
night when the Mexican ambassador
made public message from the Mex
lean consul at Presidio urging that the
war department be induced to with
draw Colonel Langhorne's forces ito
avoid difficulties"
So far as could be learned. the am
bassador has made no representations
to washington, but it was made clear
in official quarters that the troops sent
to pursue bandits who captured Avia-
tors Davis and Peterson and held them
for ransom would not be withdrawn
at this time under any circumstances.
Conflicting reports regarding the at
titude of Mexican authorities toward
the American expedition were re-
ceived. A dispatch to the war depart
ment from General Dickman, COM
manding the southern department, in
dicates that the Mexican consul had
agreed that Carranza troops which
had been ordered in pursuit Of the
bandits would be held back so that
contact with the Americans might be
avoided.
Letter Demanding Retirement.
The me- sage to the Mexican ambas-
sador from the consul at Presido was
as follows:

taken by Fitzpatrick from Candelaria,
Tex. where the aviators remain to
Identify the bandits. Col. Langhorne
informs me that American troops will
cross boundary in pursuit to avail
themselves of the opportunity Of cap
turing the bandits and for no other
purpose.
"As Gen. Pruneda is making the
pursuit, have notified Col. Langhorne
SO he may obtain the return of his
forces, to avoid difficulties. Please OBJ

ment.
