0 m THE UNION TIMES [=| VOL. LXVL NO. 27. UNIOU. S. C., FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1?1? w w ATKAU TEXT OF NOTE Gl\ Carranza Says Immediate Release of Carrizal Prisoners was Proof of Sincerity of Desire to Reach Satisfactory Arrangement of Difficulties. Washington, July 5.?Carranza's reply to the last two American notes was handed to the state department todav bv an attache of the Mexican embassy. The text follow: "Referring to the notes of June 20 and 25 last, I have the honor to report to your excellency that the immediate release of the Carri/.al prisoners was further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this government to eich a pacific and satisfactory arrangement of the present conflict and it would be unjust if its attitude is misinterpreted. It was also the Mexican government that earnestly suggests a plan for canton-ments along the boundary during conferences of Cuidad Juarez and El Paso. This government is disposed now, as it has been, to seek an immediate solution of the two points which constitute the true causes of conflict between two countries, to wit: The American government believes reasonably that in the ecurity of its frontier is the source of the difficulty and the Mexican govnn its nurt believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory aside from being a trespass on the sovereignty of Mexico is the immediate cause of conflicts. Therefore the withdrawal of American troops on one hand and the protection of the frontier on the other are the vtwo essential problem!?, the solution of which must be the directing object of the efforts of both governments. The Mexican government isr willing to consiS^.in a- and practical v way and prompted by aspirit of concord remedies which*'shin Id be aj>*. *! plied to the present'situation. Several Latiri-Aipericap *(>untries have offered their. frieiKily mediation to the Mexican government- and the latter Has ' accepted, it ill principle. Therefore 'the'wfefca'rt gevdrhment oqjy'.awaiw* in*isi MMimUpili iiiunii ua i>ira XTnfled Stales would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose mentioned above or whether it, still is of the belief that the same results .may be attained by means of direct negotiations between both governments. "in tne meantime una government, proposes to employ all efforts that may be at its disposal to avoid a recurrence of new incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation. At the same time it hopes the American government on its part nay make use of all efforts to prevent any new a?-?s of its military and civil ithority of frontier that might cause w complications." Will He No War, He Says. Baltimore, Md.. duly n.?That there will tie no war between the United Stale and Mexico was the authoritative a ertion last night at the Hotel jRelvedt e of Dr. V. A.

ANZA'S I/EN TO PUBLIC enc day in border towns might give rise to some incident capable of growing into a clash with Mexicans but reports from all quarters last night indicated comparative quiet. Some excitement was caused here during the Fourth of July parade when Jesus Alamanzo, a Mexican, was overpowered by the crowd. Alamanzo is alleged to have made an insulting jesture when that section of the parade headed by the acting mayor passed. Some one cried that a Mexican had insulted the flag and only the arrival of police saved Alamanzo from injury. He was taken to police headquarters and later released. The big movement of guardsmen toward the border continued unabated today. One of Maine's regiments of infantry passed through here to its station in the Laredo district and more Missouri troops reached Laredo. The heavy New York movement to the Brownsville district was continued, the First squadron of cavalry and the Second battalion of artillery from that state going through here today. When all the troops are sta tioned, New York will have a representation on the border of about 22,???. _ IN HONOR OF HOUSE GUESTS.

Dear Mr. Rice: ir The camp is unusuallv quiet this P morning, owing to two things. One is b because the boys are all "enjoying" 01 sore arms as a result of the second ^ inoculation which we received yest^tf* day and the other is because we are not leaving for the border today. It si has been rumored considerably that d; we are going to leave this week some P time and we sincerely hope so for we * are all tired of Styx.\ w We have discovered in oyr company a hero and a pugilist already. The ' hero MjJip E. Hill of Lockhart, who w saved Dftn -Ponder of Buffalo from f< drowning, last Saturday. ' The captain " is making an effort to secure Hill a ei stfitafffe reward in the way of a Carnegie medal/ > E i The Jfagiiist is Sergeant Walling ? Price, who^provj^^e^nd all doub^-fl I haver^^^dWm^^*^ the e< blues he certainly looks that wAy. Vl Our company had their examination Friday and Saturday and itj surely ^ was rigid. There were 32 found phy- P1 sically unfit and five turned down on P account of illiteracy. C Several pf the boys have been home and many more?have hopes of getting a leave of absence before we start for the border. There were about 150 people from 8< Union here Sunday and quite a few here yesterday. Needless to say all of us were glad to see them and were ^ sorry that instead of us being able to A make a "spread" the majority of us lo' were the receivers of "big eats" such as only the home folks are capable of ai fixing up. ol I was sorry to hear so many rumors when I got home of how badly we ^ boys were treated and can only say n< that I didn't hear one that had any ^ truth in it. Of course we have r< grouches but the majority of the boys ' are learning that we are serving a ^ common cause and as a natural result a better feeling of fellowship predominates throughout both regiments. Vi We are ahead of many of the other ^ companies in the fact that we are cj now fully equipped. Some of the companies have nothing but straw to sleep on and no covering but we have ^ cots and good heavy, blankets, so we N have lots to be thankful for. The boys who did not pass the ex- ,s animation will be held here until their discharge comes from Washington. It " will probably take about ten days for them to go through the regular chan- P nel. A (Un * nuuui utiii ul tut; cumjjciny was ill Columbia last niRht for the dance Riv- ^ en in honor of the National Guard of South Carolina and every one reports o: a frond time, There was an immense S crowd there and everybody seemed T bent on makinR us enjoy ourselves. I will telepcraph you as soon as we Ret the order to leave for Texas and surely hope that I won't have to delay 01 lonR in doinR so. c' Very sincerely, t' J. Dan ManRum. f' DEATH OF MRS. G. T. HYATT.
