WASHINGTON. August 11.—Gen-
era! Carranza hap. issued a proclama-
tion deprecating the anti-AmericaA
demonstrations at Vera Cruz and
stating that the city ts quiet today.
This information was cabled to the
slate department today by Consul
Siiliman and was most surprising as
it followed the communication from
Commander MeNamee Tuesday tell-
ing of the growing anti-American
feeling at Vera Cruz implying thrt
Carranza was encouraging it and
strongly suggesting possible danger
for foreigners especially Americans.
More serious however were mes-
sages coming from Carranza advis-
ing Secretary Lansing to cease med-
dling in Mexico’s affairs.
! Carranza also sent notes to tko
' Pan-American conferences advising
jeacn delegate that he had better keep
! his country out of the “Pan-Araer-
;iean ocnfereuce doings.”
| Carranra requested that the rsv-
! olution b’ allowed to take Its own
jcourse. one statement intended
for the Brazilian government refer-
red to the Brazilian minister as
“one of the persons who has
j brought the greatest evil to the
Mexican republic.”
The note expressed the view that
Carrs rza had considered the con-
ferences as intended to decide upon
f ■ ion deserves recognition
and to i\< ccrd such recognition but
: added that the trend or the pres3
ommonts and quotations front
T m«inc had alarmed the constitu
: nr list government. He advised
j hat if the United States compre-
| bended the true situation It would
i leave the revolution to take Its
own way until one party had won
a victory.
The note to the Latin American
delegates suggested that any co-op-
! eration with the United States
i aiming at an occupation movement
would be a thing “absolutely un-
desirable not only as affecting the
relations between the Latin Ameri-
j can nations themselves but also be-
I cause it might involve the support
of any future decision that may
j grow out of similar conditions."
From Vera Cruz came a message
from the consul to the state depart-
! meat saying many Carrunzista sol-
I diers were killed w hen Zapatistas
| destroyed a train on the Inter-
I oceanic railway Tuesday.
