Mexico to ask aid of America

Wants plotters in this country placed on trial and extradited.

Mexico City, june 28.-Embassador Enrique C. Creel has been directed to proveed to Washington immediately. This sudden change in the plan of the Ambassador, who had received a long leave of absence from his Government with the intention of spending a number of months in his home State of Chihuahua, was occasioned by the recent raid made on the town of Las Vacas. The Mexican State Department will make strong representation to the State Department at Washington asking the United States authorities to in every way aid in checking the men who at-tacked Las Vacas, on the ground that the whole raid was planned and outfitted on American soil.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal said that every Mexican involved in the recent raids was subject to extradition as a common criminal, inasmuch as the acts of violence committed by them were not directed by any revolutionary movement or¬ganizade on Mexican soil. Mexico will ask that certain of the ringleaders who may be captured on United States soil be tried by the courts of that country.
