CARRANZA REPLY
CONCILIATORY IN TONE
A. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON. July 4.—The long ex
pected note from the de facto govern
ment of Mexico was placed in the hands
* Sen or Arrendondo, the Mexican am
vljtor, today and will probably b*
^^^red to tin- state department tomor
s Despite tin* reports einamtting from
Mexico to tin* effect that Carranza is
determined to resist the continued oc
cupation of the American troops, the
note now in Arrendnndo’s hands is des
ignated oy a person close to the Mexi
can ambassador as anything but insistent
or warliae. On the contrary, this person
asserts that the Carranza communica
tion is extremely conciliatory in tone
and designed to offer a basis for an
amiable settlement of the differences ex
isting between the two governments.
It is now the accepted opinion among
the administration officials that Carranza
is desirous of preventing a conflict by
auy reasonable means and has probablx
left the way open for a settlement which
will tend to placate the hostile sentiment
among the Mexican people.

DKPARTMKXT Tills MORNING
WASHINGTON. July V The reply « f
the de facto government of Mexico i<>
the Wilson note was delivered to See
reuiry ..arising at 111«• state depamnent
shortly after ihe opening hour this nun
lug.
Contrary to expectations tlie Carranza
answer was not turned over by Minister
Arrendondo but was brought to Lans
ing’s office by Louis l)autine. Carranza's |
confidential messenger. The text of tin*
communication lias not been made public.
It is officially stated, however, that tlie
reply is extremely conciliatory in nature
and will likely remove all present danger
of war. Carranza also gives assurances
of a keen desire to reach a friendly
adjustment id’ the existing disagreements
| between Mexico and the 1'nitod States.
Lansing stated to members of the press
that the note does not specifically reply
to the Wilson communication but its
terms are such as to suggest that Car
ranza is willing to meet the spirit of
the American demands on every point.
