Any withdrawal is contingent upon Carranza’s demonstration of ability to police Northern Mexico. Following @ conference with Presi- dent Wilson, Secretary Lanaing said a reply would be sent to Gen, Car- Tanga soon, It is probable Secretary Lansing will begin work at once on the reply to Carranza and have it ready to present to the Cabinet to-morrow be- fore he leaves on @ month's vacation, Moxican Minister of Foreign Rela- tions Aguilar to-day issued a state- ment to the Mexican people that the Government “expected a completely satisfactory solution of all questions at issue between Mexico and the United States.” FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Mex, July 6 (via Radio to Columbus, N.
