Car ranza's reply to the demands of the United States reached the Mexican embassy here to-day and will be de livered to Secretary Lansing to-mor row. If it ls correctly described by persons close to the embassy, it is conciliatory in language and tone and designed to offer a basis for am icable adjustment of difficulties be tween tho two governments. As all Washington was celebrating the Fourth of July, Eliseo Arredon do, the Mexican ambassador desig nate, made no attempt to seek an Im mediate engagement to present the communication. Instead he directed an employee to give out such infor mation as it was deemed advisable to make public in advance of deliv ery of the note, and then, with mem bers of his staff, left Washington to spend the holiday at a summer re sort.
