There is a desire on the part of some
Of the owners to see what is below
the present depth, hence the ques-
ton Of deepening which has arisen.

CARIaiNZA WONT CONSIDERS
ANY ATTEMPT TO PER-

ARE WELL SATISFIED NOW
Re, olutiOnists Are Much Pleased
With the Recent Successes
of Their Arms.

NOGALES, Mexico, Nov 1S.-Gen-
eral Nenustsano Carranza viii not
consider any means OF accomplish
ing Peace in Mexico except through
the forectul overthrow Of the Huerta
central government. The constitution
alist leader today issued the follow
Ing announcement in characteristic
brevity and directness:
I'VE will recognize nobody who
succeeds Huerta by the power which
he has usurped"
This statement was occasiOned by
various suggestions reaching hero
through the press and seml-ohicial
channels that certain persons might
be acceptable to both Huerta and
Carran2a as president ad interim.
No name yet suggested to Carranza
has brought an encouraging reply.
Successes Of the reyolutionists, re-.
ported today, added greatly to the
already cheerful attitude of officials
here attending the negotiations con-
NANA A'h NAAh " tA'llAllS ANn llll buEU
William Bayard Hale, as representa-
tive of President Wilson Officials
asserted that while the hitherto un-
recognized revolutionists now had di-
rict and friendly relations with Wash
ington, Provisional President Huerta
had none.
The taking today of Juarez by vii
las forces; the capture yesterday Of
Culiacan, capital Of Sinoaloa, and the
attack on Voctoria today, capital Of
Tamaulipas, on the Gulf Of Mexico,
it was asserted, would affect material
ly the international status of the revo-
lutionists. 1t was asserted the revo-
luton had doubled in Importance in
ternationall in the last week.
General Carranza's announcement
today regarding n successor to Huerta
was taken as voicing a more radical
stand OF the constitutionalists than eX-
listed during the first revolt headed
by Francisco l. Madero. Many OF
Carranza's advisers were said to be
strongly opposed to any compromise,
such as was credited to Madero pre-
vious to his election. Ii was asserted
that the remnants Of the Diaz govern
ment, which Madero permitted to re-
main, were responsible for his over
throw.
The suspense incident to the pend
ing diplomatic relations with the
United States, was lightened today by
the message in which General Huerta
congratulated General Carranza on
his stand in regard to mediation by
any foreign nation.
On all sides the matter was taken
lightly It was received with amuse-
ment and was not considered likely
to affect the attitude Of the Mexican
people In general toward the United
States.
General Carranza's smile at report
ed success OF his troops today broad
ened to grin when General Huerta's
message in reference to the insurgent
leaders stand regarding mediation in
the internal affairs of Mexico was read
to him.
Let him say what he likes" said
Carranza. The insurgent leader re-
ceived the message In his quarters at
the muicipal palace, where he re-
mained during tho morning.
II was said at noon that no ap-
pointments had been made for fur
ther meeting between William Bayard
