CONFERENCES WITH
FOREIGN MINISTER
But the Situation Between United
States and Mexico Was Prob
ably Left Unchanged.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2l-The fact
that Nelson 'Shaughnessy, the Amer
lean charge d d'affaires, has had two
conferences with the Mexican minister
of foreign affairs in the past few days,
became known today. The exact
character of the meeting is not known
nor the nature of the conversation. 1t
is understood that the ret result was
to leave the situation unchanged. As
surances were given at the embassy
today that no instructions had been
received by Mr.. O 'Shaughnessy from
Washington, but it is known that his
personal affairs are so changed that
he could leave, at an hours notice if
necessary. y levy of 100000 has
been made at Monterey to pay the
troops there, according to report.
Foreign business concerns were asked
to contribute. Hard fighting is report
ed to still be in progress about Vie

CARRANZA UNABLE
TO GIVE ASSURANCE
Could Not Guarantee Hale That Rules
of Civilized Warfare Would Be
Observed

NOGALES, Mexico. Nov. 2l.-One
principal reason why the conferences
between William Bayard Hale and
Gen. Carranza, the Constitutionalist
leader, were broken mp, according to
authoritative information. was the fail
ure Of Carranza TO give assurances that
the accepted rules Of civilized warfare
would be observed by the Constitutions
alists if permitted to import arms and
ammunition.
Carranza, it is understood, is not in
a position TO give these assurances Ire
cause of his inability to control the
generals i'm the field. Rumors are eur
rent of u disagreement between Gen.
Carranza and Gen. Villa which threaten
to disrupt the ranks OF the Constitutions
alists.
