Mediate Villa -Carranza Differences

Differences between General Villa and carranza which are being arbitrated by a commission at Torreon really were the oltgrowth of a misunderstanding accord ing to the messengers from Saltillo Ac- cording to the word reaching here the the trouble arose. at least in part. over the efforts of General Natera to capture Zacatecas. It is said General Natera either was misnformed regarding the number of federals in the town or con cealed the facts, giving General Carranza the impression that he garrison num- bered not more than 5000 men, After Ma tera had lost more than 2600 men in his assaults he asked for endorsements. and. it Is said General Carranza then sent an order to General Villa based on the information regarding the federal strength given him by NaterA
 Villa, having advicas that this informa- tion was incorrect and that the federals numbered nearly 14000. took exception to the order It is believed that when the various facts are disclosed frankly at the conference a conclusion satisfactory to both sides will be reached
 The fleet of six military aeroplanes gathered by the constitutionalists at Sal tllo will be moved to San Luis Potosi ac- cording to word reaching here. to be used In the attack on that city. They will be under active direction of an America n aviator.

Alliance Expected Shortly

vera cruz, July 5.--lt Is rumored here that an alliance between Provisional Pres ident Huerta and Emiliano Zapata, the revolutionary leader. will be formed soon Most Mexicans regard such a combina- tion inconceivable because of the long enmity Zapata has borne Huerta, who. under Madero gave him the hardest fight he ever had. But the report brought here appears to leave little dought that Huerta has entered into negotiations with the Morelos chieftain.
 Both here and in the capital the con yiction exists that crisis Is imminent
 Mexicans prominent in the political, commercial and social life of the cap ftal have been joining in increasing strength the army of fugitives. Several foreigners other than British have taken the advice of Sir Lionel Garden the Brit ish minister to get out of what he re- gards as dangerous territory
 Two special trains left the capital for Puerto Mexico Friday night and Saturday, according to persons who arrived here from Mexico City today. Among the passengers are said to have been Gen eral Joaquin Maas, Jr., and his fam fly and Querida Moheno ex-minister of commerce. It is reported that Jorge Hu- erta, son of the President, and one of Huertas daughters also were on one of the trains. It Is understood the Presi- dents wife remained in the capital. Mex jeans from the interior and those just beyond the American lines do not regard seriously the elections held today. No announcement ever has been made as to the candidates
 That General Huerta intends to repeat the virtually compulsory choice of him self and General Blanquet for the presi- dency and the vice presidency, respec- lively, as he did last year, is the story brought here today by q judge from Jalaha. He said when he received in- structions to prepare ballots, publish an announcement that an election was to be held and to establish polling place seeing to 1t that all votes cast were for Huerta and Blanquet. he refused. The judge said he was fined for his refusal but the iefe politico failed to send him immediately to prison and he escaped to safety with In the American lines.
 Any suggestion that General Huerta is leaving the choice in the elections to even so small a part of the people is ridiculed here. Military men regard the final triumph of the constitutionalists as improbable for several weeks unless there occur serious defections from the federa' army or serious uprisings within the cap. ital.

Constituencies Under Gen. Jesus Carranza Take Ceritos in San Luis Potosi-Aeroplanes Will Be Used in Attack Upon San Luis Potosi
 Mariel at Saltillo

Eagle Pass. Tex, July Conformation brought by messenger from Saitillo today was that troops from the division of tho east have been ordered by Gen Pablo Gonzales to proceed immediately to Quer- etaro. This move Is regarded as sig nificant of the part the division of the east intends to play in the final assault on Mexico City, as the final stand Of the federals probably will be made at Queretaro.
 The movement to Quertaro, 1t Is thought here. also was preoipitated by the with rawal of federal troops under Gen. Pas ouai orozco from the Queretaro garrison to reinforce the Mexico City garrison.
 Word has been received here that con s.itutionalist troops lnder Gen. Jesus Car ranza, three miles from San Luis Potosi, have taken Ceritos, in the state of san Luis Potosi. The railroad has been re- paired to Ceretos Troops that go to Qreretaro will be drawn from the com mand of Gen. Jesus Carranza, who has l1000 men.
 0OL l1anclsCO MdflSi, WHO is 'ptiat- ing under the command of Gen, Jesus Carranza, arrived in Saltillo yesterday to discuss with the first chief conditions in the field near San Luis Potosi He said the entire country was friendly to the COL Istitutionalists, and that if sufficient arms couud be provided. Gen. Jesus Car ranza could have force of 35,o0o within few days. Col Jose Hernandez Mirze, with 500, and Colonel Laraga with 1900, had joined General Carranza recently ard that there were 45,o00 more recruits anxious to join if arms could be pro- yided.
 An error made by American newspapers in referring to Alfredo Breceda, now in Washington as private secretary of Gen e al Carranza, was pointed out by arrivals from Satillo. Breesda. 1t was explained, was secretary to Gensral Carranza when Car1anza was governor of Coahuila, and Is still artacned to carranza's staff. but tho position of private secretary to th' fiest chief Is held now by Gustave Es DirOsa Moreles.

Washington Awaits Details

Washington. July 5.-Washington await ed anxiously tonight for details of the election held today in Mexico to choose ta successor to General Huerta. Up to a late hour little had been heard from the election except that one had been held and that the voting was light.
 While an early report from Mexico City said it was believed that General Huerta had been the favorite in voting for the presidency, the general belief here was that Huerta had not been a candidate and that 1t was the intention to choose Pedro Lascurain as President
 Reiterations were received today in pri- vate dispatches from Mexico City that Huerta, in a final effort to restore peace. intended to turn the government over to Lascurain who, in turn, would name some constitutionalst as minister of foreign affairs. Then Lascurain. according to these reports. would resign, leaving the constitutionalist to succeed to the presi- dency. Huerta would be assigned to a foreign post by Lascurain before the lat ter's resignation.
 That this plan would work ont was deemed unlikely in some sources here, although some consttutionalist agents were inclined to credit the report that some such scheme would be tried. Luis Cabrera and Rafael Zubaran, General Carranza s chief representatives in Wash ington, have not abandoned hope that the constitutionalist agents will be authorized to meet Huerta's delegates to the media tion conference.

Cabrera in New York

Cabrera left tonight for New York and Alfredo Breceda, who has been in Wash ington for a week, announced tonight that he would go to New York tomor- row. Their departure revived reports that the proposed conference between the Mexican factions might be held soon and that it would occur in New York.
 Concerning differences between General Carranza and General Villa, now being considered in conference at Torreon, unofficial reports reached Washington to- night that satisfactory adjustments were about to be reached.
