Washington, Dec. 1.-With three
distinct governments proclaimed in
Mexico and others believed ready to
burst into bloom, battle royal which
will show one distinct faction supreme
appears to be in sight.
General Pablo Gonzales; who has
heretofore been looked upon as one Of
Carranza's supporters, is reported
heading one, and his detection may
prove serious to Carranza
Gonzales is reported at Pachuca,
forty miles northeast of Mexico CITY,,
with the outposts of Villas army in
close proximity.
At the same time Carranza and Vii
la forces are near at Tampico, where
General Luis Caballero has repudiated
Carranza and declared for Villa and
the Gutierrez government.
Mexico City, now held by Zapata
troops, with several of Villas veteran
regiments in reserve, is reported
quiet. The reorganized police force
is in complete control and all threat
ened rioting is being effectively
stamped out.

New York, Dec 1.-At least twelve
British warships are patrolling the At,

Panama canal, sweeping the seas
with their wireless, crowding ordinary
commercial radios. from the air and
keeping close check on all forms of
shipping, according to wireless Oper'

wireless activity of these war vessels,
the operators said, is causing great
inconvenience to the commercial work
of American vessels, as the high pow
cred waves of the men-of-war are
heard continually in utter disregard
of commercial business.
"These warships,'' the Ancon's op'
orator said, "pay no attention to the
rules governing wireless operations.
With their high power apparatus they
cut into the middle of message and
absolutely disregarded all requests to
keep out.
I'VE have no means of identifying
the ships, as they use code exclusive
