 Laws.

Washington, Sept. 9.-An appeal for formal recognition by the United States of the belligerency of the vari- ous anti -Carranza revolutionary fac lions in Mexico and for financial aid in the proposed overthrow of Car ranza and the setting up of a provi- sional coalition government was pre- sented at the White House late to- day.
 The appeal, which pleges recon Struction and restoration to national health' of chaotic Mexico, bears the seals of Gilarado Niagara, commander of the "reorganizing army" Cutler mo Meixueiro, commander of the "de- fensive forces of the free and sov- ereign state of OaXaca;" Felipe An geles and Francisco Villa, commander of hte convention forces" and Man. uel Pelaez, commander of the "con- stitution of 1857 revolutionary army.' Charging President Carranza with having constituted himself an fire sponsible dictator of Mexico," with having by his illegal and despotic confiscation of foreign owned proper ties and the murder of many hun- dreds of foreign citizens," brought about imminence of American inter- vention; with having aligned himself first with .radicalism and later with the German cause against the allies, and with having made Mexico "prey of the most cruel and brutal tyranny our country has had to endure in all the past centuries of it's efforts to- ward freedom" the appeal proposes a conference of all the revolutionary factions with representatives of the United States for the purpose of for mulating a program for "reconstruc- tion and restoration of Mexico"
 Flay Carranza.
