MEXICAN GLOOM OlSPELLEO
carrsnza Willing to Resign. Villa VIII
ouit-Washinston Happy.


Washington, Nov. l7.-Administra
tration officials were delighted at the
receipt OF a dispatch at the state dc
partment announcing that Genera
Carranza had declared his Willingness
TO resign the provisional presidency OF
Mexico.
This came from the state depart
ments special agent. Mr.. Canova. at
ACuas Calientes, and was based on o
dispatch received by General Gutter
rcz. who was elected president OF Mex
leo by the CAL" ,es convention.
The belief that a renewal OF in
ternol war are az this time has been
averted was strengthened by unofficial
reports reaching Washington declaring
that General villa has consented &c
resign his military command and
leave Mexico in the interests of peace
Another developmcat in connection
with the Mexican situation was the re.
ceipt by Secretary Bryan from Gen
eral Gutierrez announcing his election
TO the presidency and his intention to
set up government In Mexico City
soon.
He gave the president assurance
the government will afford full protec
tion to foreign life and property In
Mexico.
Should Carranza and villa act In
accordance with the intentions at
tributed to them there is little doubt
entertained here but that the new gov
ernment Will soon be reality, and II
is regarded as more than probable that
the Gutierrez government will be the
one to take over Vera Cruz from the
custody of the United States on the
evacuation of that port next Monday.
