The subsecretary was asked as to
the correctness of reports that the gov

and certain high army officers had
served notice on Oen. Carrania, that
unless the American troops were with
drawn within a certain specified time
thev would Join in oppo&ing their fur

"This Is absolutely untrue," replied
I Benor Amador. "It Is true enemies ot

met with some success, but we are

The attack on the Americans in

Mexicans Propose Modification".
On March 25 'tho Mexican govern
ment sent a second note which con
tained certain modifications.. In it
cooperation between the forces w'as
agreed upon if a request of one of the
parties was made to that effect. It
isontained the additional article:
"No pursuit can be begun after three
days have elapsed from the time of
the commission of the crime unless tnc
offenders hate remained for tnai
length of time in the territory where
the crime was committed."
It was also Insisted In the new drart
that clashes between tho two contract
ing parties through errors or the in
discretion of commanders were not to
be considered sufficient to hold the
government of the offenders respon
sible, nor could attacks of inhabitants
on the pursuing forces be considerea
as such.
Inxlut on Limitations.
With this note Mr. Arredondo was
handed the following:
"Explain to the secretary of state
that the Mexican government insists
on having Included in the agreement
stipulations relative to the limitation
of the zone through which the pur
suing forces are to operate as to tne
time they should remain in that zone,
the arms to be carried, and tho maxi
mum number of troops. The a30"3
the Mexican government has for in
sisting on this answer is as follows:
In the first place, the government
does not believe that the territory east
of Pledras Negras need be taken into
consideration for the reason that vina.
and his party have always operated in
the states of Sonora and Chihuahua,
and we consider tho necessity for ex
tending the agreement to the frontier
remote. -1
Argument For Stipulation.
"In the second place, this government
considers it essential to place a limit
on the distance to which P"""1"
forces may penetrate and that
kilometers is ample for tho pursuim,
army to come in contact with the ban
dits or the forces of the country they
have entered. The latter forces are
to continue the pursuit. In the th rd
place, pursuing parties In sucn in
stances can have little use for artil
lery and Infantry as action must De
rapid and can only be carried out by
cavalry. Infantry and artillery cannot
be considered useful to a pursuit ot
this nature by the Mexican govn
menl as their use may give rUe to
,..j, i- micht. be the
cause of serious encounters between
residents of one or the other country.
"Furthermore, impress upon the sec
retary that the Mexican government
believes that for the purposes of pur
suit over the frontier a maximum of
eight das time is sufficient for either
capturing the offender or agreeing
with the forces of the i"0.,00"":
try to. do so. Lastly, the limitation
relative to the number of troops is
important, as it is fair to suppose that
the number of bandits Is not great
and that 1000 cavalrymen would suf
fice for the work. If a greater num
ber of troops cross, It endangers the
good relations between the two
countries."
.k Special Connlderatlon.
On April B the Washington govern
ment sent another note agreeing to
the proposition that only -60 kilometers
of the border line be considered in tho
agreement and tnat qie pursuing force
would not remain in foreign territory
more than IS days without a special
agreement The new note also agreed

that no pursuit would commence un

quest that the expedition now In Mex

The Mexican government refused to
K,ve its consent to this; request, and
in turn, demanded the recall 0t the
American troops.
Subsecretary Amador In his state

PALAFOX AND PACHEC0 KILLED;
BOTH ENEMIES OF CARRANZA
Confirmation of the death of Manuel
Palafox. the man alleged to have been
in power behind the Zapatista move
ment, has been sent consul Andres
Garcia, of El Paso. The message
comes direct from Mexico City and
states that not only was Manuel Pala
fox executed by the Zapatistas but.
Gen. Francisco Pacheco and nine "con
ventionalists." Palafox has been & power In the
Zapatista movement since the be
ginning of the revolution, and was
the sole obstacle to pacification with
Carranza at the time he entered the
City of Mexico In 1914. His enmity
toward Carranza was vigorously ex
pressed when he favored the murder
of the commissioner for peace sent
by Carranza to Zapata.
Gen. Pacheco was one of Zapata's
most skillful leaders and recently was
visited by Gen. Pablo Gonzales, who
sought to arrange a peaceful sur
render of the rebel forces. Pacheco
and Genovevo de la O arranged a plot
to murder Gonzales and his emmls
saries, but the plot was frustrated.
