rectness of assertions In tho com
niiiiilcatlon from Washington were
repeatedly ilonlt'il. The memorandum
declare that tho Putted State had
no right to maintain II armed forces
on Mexican loll.
Tho memorandum contains P.'i
count. Although not In the form of
n dliect reply to the Washington

hii answer to tlmt document.
It expresses mirprifie tlmt the
YvTashlngton government should have

ini il tint denle .energetically thnt the

lie Washington to produce proof of
the assertion.
lllame for the Santa Ysabol iiim-acro-Vsa
laid on the so-called Im
pulsive and Irraerlble disposition of
Charles Watson, general manager of
the Ouslhulrlerhle company; and
General Scott and General Puitston
are accused of bad faith and lack of
honor In misleading General Obre
gon into an alleged evaalve reply re
garding the crossing of American
troop Into Mexico after the Oleim
Spring raid.
Tho memorandum assert that
whllo It la true that the United State
arrested General Iluerta. the motive
which prompted this act was not a
purpose of aiding the constitution
alist government, but because the
United States reared (ieueral lluertu
-was plotting with Germany.
The note concludes by declaring
that the presence of American troop
in Mexico luvltes rather than pre
vents bandit raids along the border.
The memorandum wa Issued at
the same time that the foreign of
