the position ne held.
 Attempts have been made to patch up the breach and induce Villa to recede from his attitude. Nothing
 had been obtained from Villa, who realized that most of the reyolution- Iary leaders has assured their loyalty to Carranza, and that the real pur- pose of Angeles was to use him as a tool for his ambition to become pro- visional president of Mexico. Then J Angeles purpose became in vain. Tn view of this revelation, Villa has decidedly agreed to postpone the discussion of his grievances until the revolution has triumpher. Carranza l has also considered that the cam paign against Huerta must be the chief purpose and that it would be impolitic to spend time in an attempt to subdue Villa. The attitude of i Villa, fostered on the inside by An i geles, has been encouraged on the outside by certain foreign elements who had time to impress on the American people that Villa is the chief factor in the constitutionalist revolution.
 "The principal foreign element doing this work in favor of Villa are two intimate friends of Ilazaro de la | Garza, financial agent of Villa. One of them is man of many doubtful. connections in the United States and he claims to have in Washington peo- pie to help him in official circles. The other one is an American who has posed during the several months as a confidential agent of the state department for the revolution, but who as matter of fact has only been a political attache and advised of Villa in international matters. The attitude of this man, who is an inti- mate friend of De la Cara, has led Villa and Angeles to believe they could count on the support of the Washington government to a great extent.
 "Carranza is the first chief of the constitutionalist army, according to the plan of Guadalupe, which is the law under which the revolution is carried on. The leadership was given to Carranza by all the military lead CTS who supported the revolution, and by all the subservient followers who ratified this leadership when they joined the revolutionary move ments. This leadership cannot be taken from Carranza unless by agree ment of the majority of the military leaders.
 The number of soldiers composing Villas troops is about 12,00O. Out side of Villas division, General An geles has his owr body of troops, composed of 1,500 federal soldiers and officials who have surrendered or deserted to the constitutionalists and who are bound to increase in number as Angeles advances.
 The forces which are outside of Villas and Angeles divisions and who have expressly manifested their adherence to Carranza, are:
 "On the Pacific slope under orders of Gen. Alvara Obregon, the follow ing; Salvatore Alvarado, Manuel Dieguez, Lucio DLanco, Ramon F. lturbe, Manuel Carrasco, Rafael Bu- elna, Benjamin Hill and Felipe Riveros.
 These leaders have a total force conservatively estimated at about 22, 900.
 "On the east side under the orders of Gen. Pablo Gonzales are:
 Antonio l. Villareal, E. Murgia, Teodore Elizondo, Cesareo Castro, Francisco Gosh, Envesto Santos Coy, Jesus Davilla Sanchez, Andres Sau- cedoa, Eulalio Gutierrez, Luis Guti- errez, Garrea Torres, Luis Caballero and Jesus Carranza.
 These leaders together have more than 10000 men.
 Tn the center of the country there is Banfilo Natera with the Arrietas brothers, Trinao, Garlic and some others, composing an infantry of nearly 1S,000 soldiers.
 There are several other leaders ill the central and southern parts of Mexico who have no connection whatever with Villa, but who recog nize Carranza as their leader. They are Candido Aguilar, Augustin Milan, Gertrudis Sanchez, Antonio Portas, Luviano, etc.
 The number of soldiers under these leaders is not estimated in or der to prevent exaggeration and keep within conservative limits. Such is the condition of the constitutionalist forces"
 Breceda and Cabrera, after the pub lication of this statement, said they had received no instructions from General Carranza to accept the invi- tation to confer informally with dele gates to the Niagara peace confer ence. Both. however, intimated there was probably such conference and that it might occur next week.
