VAPHINGTO.V. March II. Another
Ttnte was sent by the United btates
iovernmcnt today to General Carranza
in reply to his response last nieht to
the notice that Carranza and Obregon
-would b held personally responsible
for the safety of Americans and other
foreigners in Mexico City. It is under
stood to have emphasized the import
ance of keeping railway communica
tion between the capital and Vera Cruz
pen.
The second communication was dis
patched so quickly after the receipt of
Carranza's reply that the impression
prevailed in diplomatic quarters that
the United States bad determined i
advance to make representations fo
Ihc unrestricted passage of Americans
and other foreigners from Mexico city
to Vera Cruz.
General Carranza's denial that Gen
rrl Obregon had intended to Incite th
population of Mexico City to riot or tc
prevent the entrance to the capital of
food supplies was followed In today
note by a request that if this were tru
trains should be furnished to carry
freight into the city.
No word had been received late today
f any change in the situation in Mex
ico City. though routine messages
time through from the Brazilian Min
ister.
In today's note to Carranza. it Is be
lieved, attention was called to the re
ports of an early evacuation of Mexico
City and the request again made for
arrangements to police the city before
the forces of Obregon withdraw.
Secretary Bryan also directed an
qniry to be mode by the Brazilian Min
ister concerning the report furnished
by Senor Riano. the Spanish Ambassar
dor here, that four Spaniards had been
killed In Mexico City. It had been re
ported also, but without confirmation,
that a Swedish subject had been killed.
Tension Tkoucht Relieved.
On the whole, officials thought the
Carranza note relieved a critical situ
tion. but the warships ordered to Vera
Cruz were not recalled on the strength
of the favorable developments and the
opinion prevail that they will be kept
there indefinitely, possibly to take
away such Americans and foreigners as
have no other means of making thei
departure.
A statement issued by the Villa
agency here, says:
"In the absence of official informa
tion, the Washington agency of the
convention government of Mexico is
Inclined to believe the reported evacu
ation of Mexico City by Obregon and
its occupation by General Zapata pre-mature.
A message, dated yesterday, was
received this afternoon from General
Felipe Angeles, at Monterey, indicat
ing that he still occupies the city, de
spite the reports of its capture by the
I arranzjstas.
"The convention consul at Iel Rio,
Texas, wired Enrique C. Llorente.
Villas Washington repesentative, this
, afternoon that BOO fleeing Carran
sistas had reached Las Vegas,- across
the Rio Grande River from Del Rio.
"They were headed by Governor
Acuna, who, after fleeing from Piedras
N'egras and taking refuge on the
neutral soil of the United States at
Bagle Pass, returned to Mexican ter
ritory.'
American Note Emphatic.
Following is the text of the Ameri
can note which Consul Silliman de
livered to Carranza and which the
jatter quoted in his reply made public
"""ay oy me state .Department:
c nave Deen anxious and per
plexed over the statements in dis
patches from Mexico City regarding
me situation mere and have concluded
that the best course at present is for
ou immediately to see General Car
ranza and present to him a moat earn
est and emphatic note in the following
sense:
"The Government of the United States
has noted with increasing concern the
reports of General Obregon's utterances
to the residents of Mexico City.
"This Government believes they tend
to incite the populace to commit out
rages In which innocent foreigners
within Mexican territory, particularly,
the City of Mexico, may be involved.
This Government is particularly im
pressed with General Obregon's sugges
tions that he would refuse to protect
not only Mexicans, but foreigners In
case of violence and that his present
manifesto is a forerunner of others
more disastrous in effect.
"In this condition of affairs, the
Government of the 'United States is
Informed that the City of Mexico may
soon be evacuated by the constitution
alist forces, leaving the population
without protection against whatever
faction may choose to occupy it, thus
shirking the responsibility which mav
happen as a result of the instigation to
lawnessness before and after the evac
uation of the city. - The Government of
the United States la led to believe that
a deplorable situation has been brought
about willfully Dy constitutionalist
leaders, and forces upon the populace
submission to their incredible demands
and to punish the city on account of
refusal to comply with them.
"When a factional leader preys upon
a starving city to compel obedience to
his decrees by inciting outlawry and
at the same time uses means to prevent
the city from being supplied with food,
a situation is created which it is Im
possible for the United States to con
template longer with patience.
I.lmlt of Endurance Rearned.
"Conditions have become Intolerable
and can no longer b endured. The
Government of the United States there
fore desires General Obregon and Gen
eral Carranza to know that it has.
after mature consideration. deter
mined that if. as a result of the situa
tion for which they are responsible,
Americans will suffer by reason of the
conduct of the constitutionalist forces
in the City of Mexico or because they
fail to provide means of protection to
life and property it will hold General
Obregon and General Carranza per
sonally responsible.
"Therefore, having reached this determination-
with the grentestconsid
eration. the Government of the United
States will take such measures as are
expedient to bring to acoount those
who are personally responsible for
what may occur."

he says:
"We will not submit to contractors
an itemized estimate by stations nor by

up. With the final estimates we will
furnish tho contractor an itemized esti
mate of the work done by stations.
"Engineers working for the State
Highway Commission are forbidden to
give information of any kind to the
contractor for the purpose of aiding
him In subdividing the work.
"The contracts are let with the un
derstanding that the successful con
tractor will do the work at the prices

manner they see fit under the terms of
the contract, and must make provision
for paying their men in any manner

"The Michigan farmers have more

Meeting Tomorrow May Decide Move
of Association If Better Condi
tions Are 'ot Certain.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 11. (Spe
cial.) A strong feeling prevails among
growers here against the North Pacific
Fruit Distributors, and it Is believed
only a spark is. needed at the meeting
of the Apple Growers' Association Sat
urday to set in motion action that will
sever connections between the local or
ganization and the central agency.
While local growers approve the
plans of the Distributors, for several
months there has been a growing sen
timent to the effect that Hood River
fruit should be sold direct through its
own association; that the handling oi
the local product through the central
agency at Spokane has been detrimen
tal to the price of Hood River apples,
while the price of districts in less fa
vorable localities has been increased.
It is felt that the overhead expenses
of the Distributors are too great, and
that the growers have to wait too long
for final returns. The financial ar
rangement of the Distributors has
caused more complaint among grow
ers, perhaps, than any other thing. The
returns to local growers have been
very slow this Winter and will not be
complete until Summer.
Saturday's association meeting,
which has been called to (nominate
candidates for the board of directors,
to be elected in April, will be held in
the morning. In the afternoon W.
H. Patilhamus, chairman of the newly
created executive committee of the
Growers' Council, will address the
