between the United States and the defacto government of ico depends upon the formal declaration of policy by General ranza expected hourly in response to the note telegraphed to ico City yesterday by Secretary The American government will insist upon the immediate re- lease of the American cavalryman captured at Carrizal as de- manded in the note but high officials of the administration ex- plain in interpreting the communication that the course of the United States will be determined by final statement of his intentions toward the American expedition in Mexico to tect the border rather than on the specific circumstances of the incident The war department has not received the letter from Captain Lewis 8 Morey of the Tenth Cavalry giving the first official sion from American sources of the fighting at Carrizal It had been advised however that Morey was safe at one of General camps and a complete report on the affair was expected promptly The published text of Captain Morey's letter was construed as Indicating that the American troops was to some extent ble for the clash Officials noted this fact but said that an official account from Captain Morey would be the basis of judgment rather than the ried note written by a man who was expecting death and was fering from wounds and thirst It was pointed out however that Secretary Lansing's note did found its demands upon a statement that the Mexicans precipitated the fight Apparently the note has no direct connections with the course President Wilson is The note saying General Carranza personally directed that General Trevino resist any movement on the American troops in Mexico except in retirement toward the border is the real issue The Washington officials construe this action as a formal avowal of deliberately hostile action It demands that if this is purpose he so state through regular diplomatic channels Mediation Offered Washington June and Central American republics will not offer mediation to the United States
