washington, Nov. 12-Uncertainty
ruled again today In the Mexican situ-
alton.
Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez has taken the
oath Of Office as provisional president
at the Aguascalientes convention.
which simultaneously declared General
Carranza, hitherto first chief Of the
army, as being in rebellion. slialy gen
erals who swore their allegiance to the
convention are leaning to Carranza,
while some Of his most loyal follow
ers are preparing to desert him.
This was the tenor of the official
dispatches today from American Con-
sui Silliman at Mexico City, and Leon
Canova, special agent at Aguascali-
entes. In the meantime President Will
son and Secretary Bryan were await
ing further word from Mexico before
announcing the date OF the evacuation
Of Vera Cruz.
Gutierrsx Ignores carranxa.
Carranza is still at Cordoba and may
move to Vera Cruz to celebrate the de-
parture OF the American forces. The
convention y still in session at Aguas-
calieates and there are rumors OF
1ighting In the vicinity. Carranza has
invited 0utierrex 70 meet him In con-
ference in an effort to reach an agree
nasnt. OutisEres declined. CarFanza
submitted new list OF conditions
Under which He would retire. but these
were rejected. Generals Obregon and
Villareal did not return to the conven-
tioy, from, their visik to Carranza at
Cordoba. and the belief in Aguascali-
entes il that they will remain loyal to
Carranza. Benavides was the only
member Of the commission who re-
turned. Uncertainty prevails as to the
attitude Of General Blanco, in COM
mand of the troops in Mexico City. but
latest reports indicate that he may
stand by the convention.
Plots and Counter Plots.
General Francisco Mugia and Gen
eral Luis Cabellero. respectively, have
telegraphed their reputation Of the
convention.
While the leading generals are wav-
ering, kilograms are passing in plots
and counterplots.
The point at which the first impor
ant clash is liable to come is in the
vicinity Of Quaretaro, where General
Pablo Gonzales. who Is loyal to Car
ranxa, is stationed with several thous-
and troops. The loyalty Of large part
OF his force Is doubted and already one
report to the. convention said many Of
his men refused to obey his orders.
Fighting at Leon. south of Aguas-
calientes, also was reported, but no de-
tails have arrived.

Paris. Nov. 2.-The French army now
has tho use Of the los -millimeter field
guns built> in France to rearm the
artillery forces Of Japan. When the
war began. part OF the guns had been
delivered and another large consign-
ment was on the ocean.
Japan was asked by France II she
might take the guns. The Japanese
government cabled promptly placing
them at the disposition Of France and
announced that she was sending back
those already delivered SO that the
French army might use them. The
vessel conveying the last consignment
had already reached Colombo when 1t
was intercepted.

JAP CASUALTIES HEAVY.
More Than $500 Killed or Wounded
Before Tsinu Tau,


Before Tsing Tau.
Peking, China. Nov. IA Japanese
military report received in Peking sets
forth that the casualties to the Japan
ese army before Using Tau numbered
more than 1900. According to re-
ports from Using Tau itself received
in Peking before the German wireless
ceased operating. this number does not
represent the correct total. The British
lost twelve men killed and 61 men
wounded.
The Japanese recital indicates that
the German losses We're small for the
reason that the German garrison sur
rendered ae soon as the Japanese in
fantry crossed the trenches. No de-
tailed report of the Using Tau cam
paign from the German standpoint has
been received here.
The foreign office has notified the
japanese legation that it now expects
the removal of the Japanese military
railroad and the telephone and tele-
graph lines in the vicinity Of Kaio
Chau. Using Tau having fallen, they
no longer are needed.

Kaiser Appears Determined to Reach
Paris by Coast - Allies Not Greatly
Alarmed and Expect Dixmude to BE
Retaken-Little Change on Battle
Front Since Tuesday.

London, Nov. 12-The Russian sue
cesses in the east, which for a time
predominated the war news, must
again divide space with the account OF
rekindled activity on the part of the
Germans in West Flanders. where the
forces Of Emperor William have dis
proved the contention of the allies that
their attempts to force their way to
Dunkrk or Calais had finally failed.
With Dixmude in their possession the
invaders We're today less than fifty
miles from Calais and much nearer
Dunkirk. and the fight they have been
putting up In the face OF tremendous
losses seems to bear out what had also
been said-that they would not aban-
don the struggle to reach the coast
unless they are utterly crushed.
Allies Not Alarmed.
The English and French theory is
that the holding of Dixmude is only
temporary; that its history will be
much the same as that Of other towns
that have been taken and retaken in
the fighting on the User.
In certain places north Of Dixmude
the Germans are at least on the left
bank of the User, that is, on the side
nearest the French coast towns. and
their attacks instead OF concentrating
in the south below Ypres, apparently
have been renewed almost on the coast
line.
Here they drove the allies from Lom-
baertzyde, only in turn to be driven out
Themselves.

For some time past there has been no
mention of naval activity on this
coast, but this is explained by the re-
tirement of the Germans from the

livering their attacks further to the
