CARRANZA'S REPLY. DOING HIS DUTY TO THE CONSTITUTIONALISTS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright .Washington, June 22.

Replying to the notes of the mediators, General Carranza has reiterated his willingness to participate in conferences. While thanking the mediators, Carranza made it plain that among the subjects it was impossible to discuss was the proposed armistice, the military movements of Constitutionalists, the agrarian question and the designation of the provisional president of Mexico. He states that he believed he was only complying with his duty to the Constitutionalists when he declared that a grave error had been committed in attempting to solve Fuch a question, which was of transcendental importance to the people of Mexico.
