washington, Dec. 27.--Secretary
Bryan received word unofflcially to-
night that all Mexican factions had
agreed to the plan proposed by Gen.
Scott. United Sttaes chief Of staff, to
prevent further firing into American
territory along the border.
Enrique c. Llorente. Washington
agent of the Gutierrez government,
OF which Gen. Maytorena Is a sup
porter. advises that the latter has ac-
cepted Gen. Scott's plan. 1t provides
that Gen. Hill of the Carranza forces
abandon Naco and be permitted to 90
unmolested to Aqua Prieta, already
held by a portion Of his troops. Gen.
Maytorena. who has withdrawn his
forces southwark, would agree not 10
occupy Naco. which would become
neutral.
AS Maytorena already holds No
gales. a port Of entry. he is said to
believe the arrangement was neither
to his advantage or detriment. From
Hills viewpoint, the confined pos
session Of Naco was said to be of lit
tie value because the Maytorena
forces besieging it prevented further
transportation Of supplies southwark.
Fighting at Aqua Prieta or at No
gales would not be close enough to
the American towns TO produce the
same situation as had existed for sew
eral months at Naco. where stray bull
lets constantly fell on American soil.
The state department had no ad-
vices today from Mexico City, but Mr..
Llorente said Villa had wired him
that harmony prevailed between Gu
tierrez and all his chiefs. Llorente
thou hit the statement issued by GU
terriers secretary last night charging
Villa with disobedience was due to a
Misunderstanding.
Villa agents here announced tonight

ic paper dealing with the Mexican
revolution. would be Issued this week.
1t was said Villa wOul1 explain in the
why he is opposing Car
rama and would make public certain
hitherto secret documents designed to
prove that had Carranza been made
president he would have repudiated
his pledges and ruled the country as
D dictator.
