PLOTS BY VILLA

OUT OF CAPITAL
Makes Compact With Gen.
Obregon to Bar First Chief
From the Presidency.
NEW REVOLT MAY RESULT
Secretary Bryan Is Trying to Arrange
Difficulty, but Peace Hope
Is Slight.

Washington, Aug. 2O.-The Mexican
situation again has been muddled.
According to authoritative informa.
ton received at the state department,
an agreement has been reached be
tween Generals Villa and Obregon un-
der which General Carranza will not
be permitted to assume the provision
al presidency of Mexico.
Obregon IS now occupying Mexico
City, Carranza is outside, expecting to
enter today. If the information in
the possession of the state department
is correct he will not be allowed to do
so.
Carranza May Fight.
Should Carranza be denied the
fruits of his campaign, unquestionably
he will inaugurate war against the
generals who have conspired against
him. He permitted Obregon to go to
Mexico City with his troops. believing
he could depend on his loyalty. He
kept Villa away from the capital be-
cause he feared a revolt by him and
his forces. The agreement between
Obregon and Villa consequently is of
serious import to him.
Standing by Villa in his opposition
to Carranza is Governor Maytorena of
Sonora. He has been driving Carranza
supporters from his state.
Villa is getting large supplies of am
munition through Nogales, and is in
position to take the field.
Secretary Bryan is endeavoring to
arrange the difficulties. 1t is recog-
nized. however, that this will be diff
cult, and the revolution probably will
continue.
Consul Is In Jail.
FL Paso, Texas, Aug. 20.-Louis Hos
letter. American consul at Hermosillo,
Sonora, has been placed in Jail by the
Mexican authorities, according to as
sertions made yesterday by Carranza
officials along the border. 1t was not
made known whether he had been re-
leased.
The responsibility for the consurs
arrest is the subject of dispute be-
tween the Carranza and Villa factions.

ATTACK ON kIA0-CHAU
FEARED BY GOVERNOR

Picking. China, Aug. 2O.-The COVER
nor of Kiao-chau, the German colony
/ in China, has issued a proclamation
| saying that an attack was imminent.
The majority OF the non-comb atants
already have left and the American
| legation is advising the state depart
ment to withdraw WHY'S r. Peck. the
American consul, his presence being
unnecessary. because American inter
ests temporarily are terminated. Mr..
Peck, however. desires to remain.
Although the garrison of Kiao-chau
is under 5000. the Notifications are
believed 10 be formidable. Since the
war began the harbor has been mined
and the land defenses strengthened
with wire entanglements. earthworks
and mined zones. Many Chinese cool
les have been employed besides the
troops OF the garrison.
The legation quarter in Picking is
deeply affected by the prospect, be-
cause many of the German and British
officers who will participate in the
fighting have been members of Pc
king society during their terms of SER
vice in the legation guards.
Young German business men who
have gone as reservists have many
English friends in the various treaty
ports.
There being no German laborers in
China. practically all the reservists are
officers Their number is sufficient to
form several companies. Their fami-
lies are appealing to the German lega-
ton 10 urge Berlin to capitulate, but
the legation has been unable to COM
municate with Berlin since the cables
have been cut.
