nv Telegraph 10 The Tribune. ]

Jaurez. June 7.-General Villa, after
making all plans TO leave Chihuahua
for Torreon, even TO having a special
train made ready, still was in Chlhua-
hua City to-day. That crisis has
been reached in the relations Of villa
and General Ca-ranZa is indicated by
the numerous conferences which villa
is holding in Chihuahua with rebel
leaders known to be friendly to him.
Added TO the political tangle in rebel
affairs also, is the attitude or General
Manuel Chao, whom General villa de-
posed as military governor or Cnihua-
hua and TO whom Carranza gave an
army command. General Chao ar
rived Unexpectedly in Juarez last night
and went at once TO the home OF
friend. Efforts were made 10 prevent 1t
becoming generally known that Gen
eral Chao was in town, and In the
night he changed his stopping place To
prevent visitors from reaching him.
There were several secret conferences
in Juarez to-day between General
Chao and supporters of General Car
rama.
There is developing a general fight
in rebel inner circles against General
Villa. Jealousy because Of his mill
tary successes and the fame they have
brought him appears to be general
among commanders of rebel army dlri-
sions. and rebel leaders who are friend
" TO Villa say the fear is growing that
Villas popularity with the soldiers and
the common people Of Northern Mexico
will give him so great an advantage
over Carranza that when the time
comes for final test between the two
Villa will assume the leadership and
take the Presidency.
General Chao is admittedly on the
border in the interest OF General Car
rama. He came to Juarez from Par
raj. where he distributed $1,000 among
the poor of the town and gave similar
amount 10 the soldiers of the garrison.
Supposed to be leading his command
TO Zacatecas, he appeared unheralded
and Unexpectedly at Parral. and for
DAYS did missionary work In behalf of
Carranza. His mission TO Juarez is
believed to be of the same nature.
Numerous petty differences develop
daily on the border between agents of
villa and C&rranZc. AS military COM
mander of the northern division Villa
is supposed 10 be supreme in military
matters in Juarez and on the border.
but agents Of Carranza are said to In
terfere often with the orders Of Villa.
General Carranza, according to ad-
vices received to-day. spent the night
al Psrral and proceeded TO Saltillo to-
day. He will be Joined at Saltillo by
his wife and two daughters. who have
been in III Paso since the first chief Of
the Constitutionalists entered the State
Of Chihuahua. They left El Paso yes
lerday for san Antonio, and will go
from there 10 Saltillo by way Of Eagle
Pass. Tex. and overland from the Dor
der under protection OF a detachment
Of Carranza's troops.
