Washington, July 13.—Informal negotiations for settlement of border disputes between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico are "progressing favorably," Acting Secretary of State Polk said today after his second conference with Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador designate.
Although Mr. Polk would not add to this statement, it is understood that the steps being taken foreshadow appointment of commissioners by each government to formulate a plan of action for the permanent relief of border conditions. A formal announcement is expected soon.
Whether the question submitted to the commission will follow the definition of the matters in dispute laid down in General Carranza's latest note is not known, although Secretary Lansing's reply apparently accepted that definition.
The Mexican note said the reasonable anxiety of the United States on the one hand over the security of its borders and the feeling of the de facto government on the other that the continued presence of American troops in Mexico menaced friendly relations, constituted the problem to which a solution must be found.
