Carranza Given Final Word By United States.

The American commissioners Tuesday gave the Mexicon commissioners what is believed to be the last opportunity for an amicable settlement of the problems that have arisen because of Carranza’s failure to provide adequate protection for life and property along the international border. In joint session, Secretary of the Interiar Lane informed Carranza’s representatives that the American punitive expedition would be withdrawn within a reasonable time and under conditions that would not impair the dignity of the American government or leave unprotected the territory just south of the border, now potrolled by the Americans. Incident to such withdrawal he outlined the manner in—which—the American government was prepared to guard the long line of frontier and to run down and punish any marauding band that attempted to cross into the United States.
