The reported seizure of the Car
rama branches of government in Chi
huahua state by friends o fVilla ad-

say.
The state department has called

had no complete explanation OF the

believed at hand.
The rebel junta also is without any
news but officials there insist that
CarranZa's tact and ability can be de-

Nevertheless press reports have
greatly troubled the administration

be adjusted the fact that there has
