Infantry from Douglas to Naco is believed to have saved .Bisbee, Ari., from attack by 1500 Mexicans 'last. night. Scouts reported that the Carranzistas were eritrained-ahd;ready;for a dash' upon Bisbcc; but when the American troops were concentrated the Mexicans did not make any hostile move. ' Mexico City reports that General Venustiano Carranza will reject tho ulti matum issued by President Wilson, demanding tho release of American soldiers captured in the battle at Carrizal, and a declaration as to tho Mexican attitude toward the punitive expedition now in Mexico. The information comes from, n high official in the do facto Administration. As announced by Foreign Minister Aguilar, in letters to Latin-American countries, the Mexican attitude is: That mishaps which befall American troops is due to their unlaw ful and unwelcome presence on Mexican soil. That Mexico-is prepared to defend its sovereignty and honor, what ever the cost. That the "Invasion" of Mexico is but nn evidence of a policy of . aggrcssion.-'tho object of which is not Mexico, alone, but Central and South American countries as well. - That the Government of the United States is attempting to provoke hostilities by overt acts, lacking a political excu30for its invasion of Mexico. If the Aguilar pronouncements state the attitude of the Carranza Govern ment, Mexico defies b6th points of tho American ultimatum, which President Wilson has announced will bo attended by tho "gravest consequenpes." The United States demands: The immediate release of soldiers captured by Mexicans and dis avowal of authorizing nttack, which, in tho diplomatic view, is .an act of war. That the American forces be not molested in their mission to destroy bandits who have committed depredations upon American lives and property. Rejection of these demands, Washington holds,, will result in war. Mean while, dfficlals awaited the reply of General Carranza, which is expected by tomorrow at the latest Reports pi a clash between General 'Pershing and' the Carranzistas near Villa AhumadV continue, but lack official confirmation.
