Criticizes Villa for Attitude and Hints Political In- triguers Are Working
 Upon War Leader

El Paso, Tex, June 26.-Dscussion of the Carranza-villa arrangement was re. opened today by Roberto Pesquiera, con fidential agent of the constitutionalists here. He gave out the text of a telegram In a series of communications with Gen. eral Villa, in which he criticized the northern military zone commander for denying the arrests by his troops of na- tional constitutionalist officials at Juarez and the confiscation of national treasury funds there.
 Pesqueira told General Villa that he considered 1t useless to deny the actual facts so we'll known here at the border. T General Villas answer to this telegram, sent on June 20, has not yet arrived. Pesqueira also issued a statement assert ing Villa was surrounded by certain per sons 'some of whom were the direct cause of the disaster that befell the adrninis- tration of President Madero." Pesqueira s telegram to Villa follows:
 Your telegram confirms my belief in your loyalty and patriotism. The incl dents that have caused comment in the press have been the violent arrests of employees of the gobernacion and the treasury departments and the fact that military authorities of Juarez have taken possession of the funds that rightfully belong to the general treasury, so that it is hard to convince rightful thinking people of the consistency of your declara- tions, so inconsistent with the actual facts as known here at the border. l verify believe that if you 1iberate the employees now held and if the funds of the treasury are returned the excitement and doubt that now prevails will disap- pear"
 Villa Been Busy
 Undoubtedly due to the many preoc- equations of General Villa incident to his victorious Zacatecas campaign he has not had time to answer this telegram D Mir. Pesquera said.
 But I have positive information that he already has given orders that all constitutionalist employees carried to Chi huahua as prisoners will be allowed im- mediately to return to exercise their respective functions at Juarez and also that he has ordered that all funds and valuables which rightfully belong to the national constitutionalist treasury be re- turned at once.
 T am also informed that General Villa has been appraised and has personal knowledge of the work of some political followers, some of whom were the direct cause of the disaster that befell the ad- mlnlstratlon or Pres1dent Madero, who knowing the rectitute and severity of General Carranza toward financial and political intrigues took advantage of good faith and simplicity of General Villa whom they had been trying to utilize as an instrument of their crooked de- signs.
 General Villa, becoming acquainted with the work of these individuals, 1t has resolved to rid himself of many of these imposters of all na- who had been directly ben citing, I repeat, by using him as the medium of their lucrative and unsanc- toned explorations
 Undoubtedly with this great and prudent resolution of General Villa and with the riddance of several bad ele- ments that surround General Carranza, the so much discussed rupture will itself into a perfect under standing and unification of the con cause. which soon will be crowned with complete success"
