"I am sure that statement refers en tirely to the early Amclrcan note," ho continued. "Alihough I have not been advised of the statement by my Govern ment, I am sure that It has nothing to do wiih the note sent last Sunday by President Wilson." MEXICO CITY, Mexico, June 30. Forma! notice wan served today upon the United States Government by tho d .facto Govern ment of Mexico that the presence of Ameri can troops would not be tolerated any longer upon the soil of Mexico. This notification -as contained In a statement given out. by th,e forergn minister, which, is taken as qrj nnswer to the recent note of Present -Wilson. ' The Mexican Government ca'rpe,s - the United. Sintes with sending a- haughty and discourteous' communication,' and the? atten tlon of the United States authorities is called to the fact that HO Mexicans, havs been' murdered on the border where no attempt was ' made to punish the perpe trators.. It Is declared that tho pursuit of the bandits under the leadership cf Francisco Villa was taken up at once after they be gan their depredations, and that the duty of stamping out these outlaws rests with Mexico and not with the United States. in substance, the Mexican Government denies the right of American troops to occupy Mexican territory and decfares that the presence of United States troops in this country Is a violation of national rights. In the statement Carranza says the con tinued presence of United States troops can not be tolerated. The clause on this point Is: It Is not true that the Constitutional. 1st Government wishes to leave unpun ished the crimes committed by the bands of outlaws, nor that It refuses to capture and destroy or dispense them, but, at the same time, this Government cannot tolerate, as It has .repeatedly stated to the Department of State, con tinuous presence of American expedition of troops In Mexican territory, who have no right to be there. (Whether or not the "substance" of this rote Is what will be delivered In Washing ton Is a question. Carranza in times past has been acsused ot Issuing statements for home consumption. The note has not beea delivered in Washington.) The statement Is as follows: "It seems strange that the Department of State should show surprise and disappoint ment for the tone and character of the not of the 22d of May, which It calls discour teous, when the very same Department of State has sent to the-Constltutlonallst Gov ernment not only one but many notes not only discourteous, but also haughty, to say the least, "During the same period to which the note alludes 110 Mexicans have been mur dered In United States territory by Amer ican civilians, and the same Government authorities have also participated, although the two countries were at peace, nnd In none of these cases, although representation have been made to the Department ot State through our Minister at Washington, the guilty have never been brought to Justict or punished. These acts have been com mitted by Americans in American territory, or by Texan-Mexicans against the lives aui interests of Americans.
