P. Hunt, of Arizona, and made public to day by the Executive. Carranza says that through a lack of a full under standing of Mexican problems an out sider might place a wrong construc tion on the acts of the Constitutional ists. “That is due,” the letter soys, "to the fact that criminal acts with which this struggle was begun and the cruel measures to maintain it are forgm- ten.” 1 General Carranza relates that a ‘ corrupt minority of the defeated factions” has attempted to control the Government by violence, murder ing. destroying property and forcing peaceful men and boys to enter the army to oppose the Constitutionalists who are “fighting for the liberties of the people.” Men Given Clemency Before. “With strict deference,” says Car ranza's letter, “the Huerta officers were tried and executed at Juarez.

Thereafter they had endeavored, though unsuccessful ly, to create a defection of the men l had intrusted to their command, finally deserting to re-engage in crime. “It is true that the established principles observed in international wars extend to prisoners the privilege of pardon or immunity from bodily harm, but in civil struggles the most civilized nations in all ages have enp ployed more rigorous and bloody means even than we have been com pelled to adopt.” Carranza says that the power of clemency possessed by the Mexican people has been exhausted, but that he by means of definite reparation of the national organizations wishes to insure permanent tranquillity in Mex ico.
