CARRANzA AGENCY STATES VILLA
FORCES ABANDON MEXICO CITY
AND GUTIERREZ HAS RESIGNED

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The Carran-
"a agency here today published the
following telegram received here from
Carranza representatives at Calves
ton:
Semi official reports here. although
not confirmed, say that, due to lack
Of communications the Villa forces
are eyacuating Mexico City. 1t Is be-
lteved they are doing this on account
of the crying need of forces in the
North to save lines of communication
and to prevent Torreon, Chihuahua
and Juarez from being captured. Villa
would prefer to engage in battle out
side of the capital with Carranza's
army of 100000 men lying between
here and Mexico City.
Report Gutierrez Resigns
'Eulalio Gutierrez. through a COM
mission has authorized Antonio l. VIII
lareal, as president of the now extinct
Aguas Caiientes convention to accept
his resignation as provisional Presi-
dent and to notify Carranza that his
service would be at the orders of the
First Chief.
The Whereabouts of Gutierrez are
not definitely known but it is believed
he is making his way towards San
Luis Potosi. This action on the part
of Gutierrez, which is being followed
by many of his subordinates. is
thought to account in part also for
Villas hurried concentration in the
North.
Say Revolt Against Villa
TT was officially reported to the war
department that half of the Torreo5l
garrison. which is enveloped by loyal
forces, has revolved against Villa and
is fighting the other half in the name
of Carranza."
Reports issued earlier today by the
Carranza agency here saying that
General Gutierrez had resigned and
left Mexico City were eontradicted by
dispatches to the state department
from the Brazilian minister in Mexico
City, who yesterday had a conference
with Gutierrez.

Situation unencourasins

The general situation as reflected In
official dispatches was viewed as not al
together encouraging. Friction Is regard
ed as apparent between the Zapata ele7
ment and the Gaitierrez-Viila faction,
which thus far. however, has not result
ed In any serious break.
The chief trouble seems to have arisen
over the question of execution and pun
ishment OF former Federals. Gutierrez
and Villa have been in favor of sus-
pending the executions and giving some
Federals an opportunity to join their
cause Zapata, now at Cuernavaca, is
represented as opposed to that, as Is
General Palafox, minister of the interior
in the Gutierrez cabinet and chief spokes-
man for Zapata. A compromise is being
suggested whereby former Federals will
be given fair trials. They also would be
prohibited from joining the Gutierrez
Villa army. The American government
has found that both Gutierrez and Villa
look with favor on its suggestion for a
general amnesty for political offenders,
but that the Zapata element seems IT.
reconcilably opposed to it.
Expect Developments
The situation is expected to develop
further at the national convention called
for Jan. in Mexico City, when new
provisional president will be chosen.
Only meagre advices are in the possess
sion of the state department as to the
military activity of the Carrahza forces,
but latest dispatches say the Zapata
forces have advanced to Soledad. near
Vera Cruz, and In cooperation with VII
la forces are operating in the vicinity of
Tuxpan. are driving the Carranza troops
to the southeastern portion of Mexico.
.Advices from Consul Canada today said
Tomas Braniff. who went from Wash
ington with credentials from Rafael Zu-
baran Capmany, to discuss measures of
peace with Carranza. has been rearrest-
ed at Vera Cruz. He had been taken
into custody on his arrival but was at
once released on representations from
Consul Canada.
