WASHINGTON, July 5.—The crisis between the United States and Mexico virtually came to an end to-day when a friendly and con- cillatory note from the de facto Government was handed to Secretary Lansing and promptly communicated to President Wilson, There is no doubt jathe minds of been opened for an amicable adjustm way has as to the cor pate border situation which brought the two Governments to the verge of war, 4 Secretary Lansing gave the impression that Gen, Carranza’s sugges- wt that there is no pending question between the Governments which nnot readily be mpathy here.
