WAsHfNGroN. Aug. 3-The Constitu-

tonight a declaration OF policy upon the
part of Gen. venustiano Carranzs, nrst
chief OF the revolution in Mexico
carranza began conferences to-day with
'he Carbajal delegates for the transfer
Of the Mexican Government to the revolu-
tonists. while his armies began the final
advance to Mexico city,
Carranza asserts that the revolution.
p-ed to overthrow 'Huerta, the usurper,
was later dedicated to domestic reforms
IN Mexico which II will be his purpose 10
carry out. He promises fair treatment
~ foreigners, with prompt adjudication or
their claims for damages arising out OF
the revolution, and announces that the
Consti,utioualist guarantee In Mexico will
be equal rights TO all and special pr!vi-
lcges to none"
Gen. Carranza acknowledged the sup
port of the United States. which has been.
he says. of "incalculable aid"
There is little doubt that Carranzas
declaration of policy will be considered
satisfactory at the state Department.
Though he does not answer specifically
any OF the questions upon which the Ad-
ministration has been most anxious. such
as the treatment of tho clergy and amnesty
10 the Federals. tho declaration Is n gem
eral PRINCIPLES all that the Administrator
