convention and bow TO 1t by vacatIng his
office. from which the convention has
already dcposed him and has named

Though 1t had previously been
rumored that the convention was to
give time limit to Carranza within
which he must get out OF office or he

patch was the first official report to this
effect.

Meanwhile officials here are confident
that by Wednesday next a decisive turn
will have been given to the situation
and there will be some basis for estimat-
Ing whether there is to be war or peace
in Mexico.
That there IL not entire harmony be-
tween the convention and the commit

indicated by another despatch received

there is a chance OF getting Carranza
TO retire peacefully
The committee SO reported TO the con
h.

the convention would depose villa from
all military command. In other words.
the committee invited the convention u
conform to the conditions previously
laid down by Carranza that villa he re-
moved from all connection with the
military forces.
Thus far there has been no lndica-
ton OF the convention having any in
tention to deprive villa OF all his power
even though Villa has himself declared
to the assembly that he will give up his
military office II the convention thinks
II necessary.

made here to-day.

matory posters published and distributed

thority OF Carranza
There are 10 indications. however. that
the appeals TO Mexicans To rise and drive
the Americans from Vera Cruz are hav-
ing any important effect. Gen. Funston
cabled Secretary Garrison to-day in re-
Spouse 10 the latter's inquiry that there
seemed to be no cause for alarm
