Mrs. Grubb were the man and wo-
man.

Break Between Carranza
and Villa Complicates
Situation.
VILLA HOLDS JUAREZ
Mediators Expect Fruit of Their
Labors by Friday-Outcome as
Uncertain as Ever.

: FL Paso, Texas, June 1.-THE con-
stitutionalist ranks in northern Mex
leo are split, according to we'll authen-
'ticated reports.
A serious break between Carranza,
first chief, and Pancho Villa, great
military leader and "man Of the hour
in Mexico" has come. Just how ser
ious this break is, or will become, IS
not definitely known.
Villas adherents are in control OF
JuareZ. They are said to also nota
power in Torreon and Chihuahua.
Friends of Villa, who declare they
are speaking for him, say the mill
tarv leader has no intention OF caus-
ing a break in the constitutionallst
ranks. They say the apparent preach
was brought about by a mlsunder-
standing of Villas orders, by his sl'-
'bordinates, and that the subord'nates
alone are responsible. He will not
break with Carranza, they say.
Nevertheless Villas ad!lerents today
are holding Juarez and but meager
reports can be received. American
correspondents were warned early
that it would be healthier for them
on the northern shore of the RIO
Grande. and they took the mint.
a battle between the Mexican rebel
gynboat Tampico and the federal gun
boat Gucrresco near TopoIopanno
was reported by Admiral Howard 10
the Navy Department today. He said
the Tampico has probably been sunk
os result of the engagement and that
the captain and chief engineer OF
the Tampico had committed suicide
when they saw the battle turning
against them.
