SU ESSING NEWS
General Carranza'S Army is Marching On the FederalS and He
 May Win.

r. Washington. July 21.-Thc adminis- tration will hold out no promises to i General CarranZa at the head of the revolutionary force in Mexico in the event that Huertas government col lapses within the next few days, as is l freely predicted on news received by | the highest officials of the adminis- ] tration.
 It is officially stated that perhaps it might be necessary ito have all the information that Carranza has, but in that event, he or his agents must give their information" first to the State Department, which will be the judge of how far to proceed favorably or act unfavorably toward the revolutionary cause
 The report everywhere current at the White House and elsewhere in Wash ington today that the Huerta govern ment was about to be overthrown, as learned by the International News 1 Service, is largely based on the chances of a victory by the constitu- l tionalists over the federal army eight thousand strong, which is marching north from Monclova to- ward the Rio Grande and has already reached Alden.
 l scy 1t .%1~ mind and the War Department which gets the State Department news, that if CarranZa with six thousand troops wins a decisive victory over this ad- vancing federal army, the way will be cleared for the revolutionists by way of Monterey to Mexico City.
 Reports evidently of most alarm ing character which are not given out by the State Department, led it to ask for the dispatch of the BattleshiI Louisiana from Vera Cruz to Tuxpan
 The reports that the Louisiana was on her way reached the Navy Depart ment today. Neither department off cials don't know precisely why the battleship was asked for by the State Department, but they believe very serious state of affairs exists in the neighborhood of Tuxpan, which may demand the active interference of { large number of sailors and marines The State Department will give nc information on the subject
 It is understood that Jesse Hill an( Morton Campbell, who were released by the Mexicans to cross into Ameri can territory to get the ransom mo ney, telegraphed their principals ir New York and the latter started the agitation for the immediate relief ol Hill and Campbell and ten cowboys It is said tonight at the State Depart ment that if the facts were as report ed, the War Department would make an imperative demand for the instant relief of all the prisoners without ransom.
 The department is secretly con- l cerned in the report that General Felix Diaz has gone on a friendly mission to Japan for ther Huerta government. Many here believe that his mission includes the discussion with the Japanese foreign office of a vast scheme of Japanese coloniza- tion in Mexico.
 The State Department officials do not expect to get any definite infor- nation on this subject from Mexico City, but will get a report from Tokio on the arrival of General Diaz.
 The scheme as it is reported on seemingly good authority is that Japan will send to Mexico or allow to go to Mexico under It's protection, a vast plantation of 5O,0OO Japanese. This would be the recognition which Japan has been asking the United States for as to the equality of the races on the Western continent. |
