Knowing fully the ciroumstances eet eg aes ° hegioy it cannot 0 the Seossaity which compelled this Gov- qpnment to act, and yet it has mn Nt to recite groundless sentim of hostility toward the expedition and to impute to this Government ulterior Motives for the continued presence of American troops on Mexican eoil. 1t fe charged that these troops crossed the frontier without first obtaining the consent or permission of the do facto ment, Obviously, as im- mediate action alone could avail, here was no opportunity to reach an it (other than that of March 3, now repudiated by Gen. Car- Franses), prior to the entrance of such an tion into Mexico If the ax- ion was to bo offective. ment that Gon, Carranza would not have entered in- to any agreement providing for an effective pian for the capture and destruction of the Villa bands. While the American troops were moving rapidly southward in pursuit of the raiders % was the form and nature of the agreement that oocup'ed the attention of Gen. Carranza, rather than the practical object which it was to attain—the number of Iimita- tons that could be tmposed upon the forces to impede their progress, rather than the obstacies \that could be raised to prevent the e@acape of the outlaws. “It was General Carranza who su pended through your note of April 12 all discussions and negotiations for an agreement along the lines of the pro- tocola between the United States and Mexico concluded during the pertod 1882-1896, under which the two coun- t had #0 successfully restored eful conditions on their common indary. It may be mentioned here that, notwithstanding the statement in your note that “the American Govern- Ment gave no answer to the note of the 12 of April,” this note was replied to on April 14, when the Department instructed Mr. Rodgers by telegraph to deliver this Government's answer to General Carranta. “Shortly after this reply the oon- ferences between Gens, Scott, Fun- ston and Obregon began at El Paso, during which they signed on May 2 Project of a memorandum ad ref- erendum regarding the withdrawal of American troops. As an indication of the alleged bad faith of the Ameri- can* Government, you state that though Gen. Scott declared In this memorandym that the destruction and dispersion of the Villa band ‘had been omplished,’ yet American forces are not withd: n from Mex- loo. It is only necessary to read the memorandum, which ts in the English language, to ascertain that this In clearly a miantatement, for the mem- orandum states that ‘the American punitive expeditionary forces lave destroyed or dispersed many of the lawless elements and bandits * * * or have driven them far into the in- terlor of the Republic of Moxico,’ and further, that the United States forces were then ‘carrying on a vigorous pursuit of such small num- bers of bandits or lawless eloments as may have escaped.’ “The objects of the expedition he- ing admittedly accomplished, the United States had agreod in the mem orandum to begin the withdrawal of its troops. The memorandum shows, however, that it was not alone on ac count of partial dispersion of the ban- dita that it was decided to begin the withdrawal of American forces, but equally on account of the assurances of the Mexican Government that their forces were ‘at the present timo being augmented and strengthened to such an extent that they will bo able to prevent any disorders occurring in fexico that would in any way on- danger American territory,’ and that they would ‘continue to. diligently pursue, capture or destroy any law- less bands of bandits that may still exist or hereafter exist in the north- ern part of Mexico,’ and that it would ‘make a proper distribution of such forces aa may be necessary to provent the possibility of Invasion of Amert- of Ge jcott’s oe they would be car- jut that he stated in the memorandum that the American forces would be ‘gradually with- drawn.’ It is to be noted that, while the American Government | wae willing to ratify th a ‘anza refu among other things, it im- posed impro; conditions upon the Mexican Government. 2 CHARGES MEXICO WITH BREAK- ING HER PROMISES, “Nothwithstanding the essur- ances in the memorandum, it ie well known that the forces of the de facto government have not carried on @ vigorous pursuit of re “lal the conclusion which might be drawn from these circumstances that the de facto government, in ite of the crim: niater dei followers, d now intend or desire tha outlaws should be capturs committed and Gove: “Whi! eH were in progress, and after the Amert- can conferees had been assured on) May 2 that the Mextean forces tn the northern part of the republic were then being augmented #0 a8 10 be able to prevent any disordera that would endanger American territory, a band of Mexicans, on the night of May 6, made an attack at Glenn Springs, Tex., about twenty miles north of tne border, Killing American soldiers and civilians, burning and sacking prop- orty and carrying off two Americans as pfisoners, “Subsequent to this event, the Mexican Government, as you state, ‘gave Instructions to Gen. “Obregon to notify that of the United States that It would not permit the further passage of American troops into Mexico on this account, and that orders had been given to all military commanders along the frontier not to consent to same.” This Government in, of course, not In’@ position to dis- pute the statement that these in- structions had been given to Gen. Obregon, but It can decisively assert that Gen. Obregon never gave any such notification to Gen. Scott or Gen, Funston, or, #0 far ag known, to any other American official. Gen Obregon did, however, inquire as to whether American troops had en- tered Mexico in pursuit of the Glenn Springs raiders, and Gen, Funston stated that no orders had been tssued to American troops to cross the front- for on account of the raid, but this! statement was mado before any such orders had been issued and not after- ward, as the erroneous account of the Interview given in your note would appear to indicate.” NO PROMISE MADE TO SEND NO MORE TROOPS. “Moreover, no statement was made by the American generals that ‘no nore American troops would cross into our territory.’ On the contrary, it was polnted out to Gen, Obregon and to Mr. Juan Amador, who was present at the conference, and point- ed out with emphasis, that the ban- dits De la Rosa and Pedro Vino, who had beon Instrumental in causing the invasion of Texas above Brownsville, were even then reported to be ai ranging In the neighborhood of Vio~ toria for another raid across the bor- der, and it was made clear to Gen, Obregon that If the Mexiean Govern- ment did not take immediate steps to prevent another Invasion of the United States by these marauders, Who were frequently sean in the ovin- pany of Gen, Nafurrete, the C sututionallst commander, Mexiteo j would find In Tamaulipas another Punitive expedition similar to that then in Chihuahua, “American troops crossed into Mex- ico on May 10 upon notification to tho local military authorities, under the repudiated agreement of March 10-18, or In any event In acoordance with the practice adopted over forty years ago, when there was no agree- ment regarding pursult of marauders across the international boundary. NO MEXICAN TROOPS SEEN IN SIXTY-EIGHT MILES, “These troops penetrated sixty-eight miles into Mexican territory jn pur- sult of the Glenn Springs marauders without encountering a detachment of Mexican troops or a single Mexican soldier, Further discussion of this raid, however, is not necessary, be- cause the American forces sent in pursuit of the bandits recroased into Texas on the morning of May 22, the date of your note under consideration ~a further proof of the singleness of Durpose of this Government in en- deavoring to quell disorder and stamp out Jawlessness along the border, DIRECT DENIAL OF THE STATE- MENTS OF CARRANZA, “During the continuance of the El Paso conferences, Gen, tt you as- sert, did not take into consideration the plan proposed by the Mexican Government for the protection of the frontier by the reciprocal distribution of troops along the boundary, This Proposition was made by Gen. Obre- eon a number of times, but each time conditioned upon the immediate with- drawal of American troops, and the Mexican conferees were invariably informed that immediate withdrawal could not take places, and that there- fore it Was impossible to discuss tha The Growing Tendency of the Age— A noted English scientist asserts the tendency is toward “neurasthenia, “nerves,’ etc.” A remarkable statement!

HAS GIVEN EVERY Pos. SIBLE ENCOURAGEMENT TO CARRANZA, “In reply to this sweeping charge, I can truthfully affirm that the Amer- ican Government has given every pos- sible encouragement to the De Facto Government in the pacification and rehabilitation of Mexico. From the moment of its recognition it has had the undivided support of this Gov- ernment, An embargo was placed upon arms and ammunition going into Chibuahua, Sonora and Lower Call- fornia, tn order to prevent their falling into the hands of tho armed op- ponents of the De Facto Government. Permission has been granted from time to time, as requested, for Mex- jean troops and equipment to traverse American territory from one point to another in Mexico in order that the | operations of Mexican troops against Villa and his forces might be facilitated, | “In view of these friendly acts, 1 |am surprised that the De Facto Gov- ernment haa construed diplomatic |reprenentattona in regard to the un- |Just treatment accorded American interests, private assistance ta op- |ponents to the De Facto Government by sympathizers tn a foreten country, and the wectivity of @ foreign press aa interference by the United States |Government tn the domestic politics of Mexte . “Ifa lal le needed that this Government hae had ulterior and | Improper motives in ite diplo- matic representations, or has countenanced the activities of American sympathizers and the American Pre 8 ‘oring to inflame the ery 8 against each oth: to foree the two countri: hostilities. With the power of censorsh!p of the Mextean press, so rigorously exercised by the De Facto Government, the re- | sponsibility for this activity cannot, It would seem, be avoided by that Gov ernment, and the issue of the ap: of Gen. Carranza himself In the press | of March 12, calling upon the Mexican, people to be prepared for any emer- wency which might arise, and intl. mating that war with the United States was imminent, evidences the | attitude of the De Facto Government toward the publications, | “It should not be a matter of sur- |priso that after such manifestations of hostile feeling, the United States was doubtful of tie purpose for which the-large amount of ammunition was to be used which the De Facto Gov- ernment appeared eager to tmport from this country, Moreover, the | policy of the De Facto Government in refusing to co-operate an ing to act independently in destroying the Villa bandits and in otherwise | suppreasing outlawry in the vicinity lof the border so as to remove the | danger of war materials, while pass- | ing southward through this sone, falling into the hands of enemies of |law ts, in the opinion of this Gov- Jernment, a sufficient ground, even if there were no other, for the refusal to allow such materials to cross the j boundary into the bandit Infasted region. To have permitted these shipmenta without careful scrutiny | would in the circumstances have been to manifest a senso of security which | would have been unjustified, | THREATENED THE U. 8. INSTEAD OF CATCHING THE BANDITS, “Candor compels me to add that the unconeealed hostility of the sub- ordinate military commanders of the de facto Government toward the Am- enlean troops engaged in pursuing the Villa bands and the efforts of the de facto Government to compel their withdrawal from Mextean territory by threats and show of military force instead of by aiding In the captu of the outlaws constitute a menace to the safety of the American troops t and there is any evidence of an intention on the part of the de facto Government or its mili- tary commanders to use force againet the American troops in- d_of co-operating with them Government of the United 1 the States will not permit munitions of war or machinery for their manufacture to be exported from this country to Mexico, “As to the shelter and aupply of rebels and conspirators on American territory, I can state that vigorous efforts have been and are being made by the agents of the United States to apprehend and bring to justice all persons found to be conspiring to vio- lato the laws of the United States by organizing to oppose with arms the De Facto ernment of Mexico. Po- litical refugees have undoubtedly sought asvlum in the United States, but this Government has vigilantly kept them under surveillance and has Not hesitated to apprehend them Upe on proof of their eriminal intentions, as tho arrest of Gen, Huerta and oth- ers fully attests. “Having corrected the erroneous statements of fact to which 1 have adverted, the real e@ltuation stands forth in ite true light. It ts admitted that American troops have crossed the International boundary in hot pursult of the Columbus raldera and without notice to or the consent of your ernment, but the se on the part of this Government by the President, by this department and by other American authorities, that din fail- | the Villa bands of outlaws or to turn this duty over to the Mexican author!- ites when assured that it would be effectively fulfilled, have been carried out in perfect good fuith by the United States, (EFFORTS OF U. 8. OBSTRUCTED AT EVERY POINT. “Ite efforts, however, have been obstructed at every point: First by insistence on a@ palpably useless agreement which you admit w either not to apply to the preset expedition or was to contain imprac- ticnble restrictions on its organiza- tion and operation; then by actual opposition, encouraged afd fostered by the De Facto Government, to the further advance of the expedition into Villa territory, which Was fol- lowed by the sudden suspendion of all negotiations for an arrangement for jthe pursuit of Villa and his followers and the protection of the frontier; and finally by a demand for the im- mediante withdrawal of the American Meantime, conditions of an- neursions into American terri- tory were plotted and perpetrated. Th» Glenn Springs rald was success- fully executed, while no effective ef- |forts were being made by Gen. Car- ranza to improve the conditions and to protect American territory from constant threat of invasion. In view {of this increasing: menace, of the in- factivity of the Carranza forces, of the lack of co-operation In tha ap- prehension of the Villa bands, and of the known encouragement and aid given to bandit leaders, it ta un- | reasonable to expect the United States to withdraw its forces from Mexican territory or to prevent their entry nh when thelr presence ts the only ck upon further bandit outrages ly eMelent means of pro- an lives and homes— safeguards which Gen.

It is procisely this plan which United States desires to follow along the Mexican boundary, without any Intention of Infringing Upon the sovereign rights of her neighbor, but which, although obvi- ously advantageous to the De Facto Government, it refuses to allow or even countenance.

MOTHER, CLASPING BABY, FOUND DEAD FROM GAS —_——.

Attention ts again invited to the well known and unrestricted activity of De Ja Rosa, Ancieto Piseano, Pedro Vinos and others in connection with border raids and to the fact that, as I am advised, up to June 4, De la Rosa was still collecting troops at Monterey for the openly avowed purpose of making at- tacks on Texan towns, and that Pedro Vino was recruiting at other places for the same avowed purpose. “T have already pointed out the un- interrupted progress of Villa to and from Columbus and the fact that the American forces in pursult of the Glenn Springs marauders penotmted 168 miles into Mexican territory with- out encountering « single Carranzista soldier, This does not indicate that the Mexican Government is doing ‘all Possible’ to avold furtherralds; and if it ta doing ‘all possible, this 1s not sufficient to prevent border raids, and there is every reason, therefore, why this Government must take such pre- vantative measures as It deems suf- ficient. “Lt is suggested that injuries euf- fered on account of the bandits’ raids are a matter of ‘pecuniary repara- tion,’ but ‘never the cause for Amert- can forces to invade Mexican soil.’ | The precedents which have been es- | tablished and maintained by the Gov- ernment of the Mexican Republic for the last half century do not bear out this statement. It has grown to be almost a custom not to settle depro- dations of bandits by payments of money alone, but to quell such dis- orders and to prevent such ortmes by swift and sure punishment, The de factor government finally argues that: “It the frontier were duly protected from incursions from Mexico there would be no reason for the existing | difficulty." Thus the de facto gov- ernment attempts to absolve itself from the first duty of any govern- ment, namely, the protection of life and pr . “This is the paramount oblig: tion for which governments are instituted, and governments ni qlecting or failing to perform it are not worthy of the name, Th is the duty for which Gen.
