Larendo, Tex, June %. - Fifteen
generals of the Constitutionalist army
commanding a combined force esti,
mated at 10000 men renounced Gen,
eral Carranza as first chief" of the
Constitutionalists' movement in a
note sent to his headquarters at the
time General Villa resigned. Villa,
however, did not sign the communica-
ton. This and other details, suppress
ed by a rigid censorship at Saltillo be-
came known at the border With the
arrival Of travellers from Saltillo and
Monterey.
Subject Only to Villa.
h communication, it was authori-
tatiyely said, informed the man who
has been the leader of the Constitu-
tionalist movement since it's inception
that the generals would continue to
fight against Huerta, but would hold
themselves subject only to General
Villas orders and would not recognize
Carranza.
Before the travellers left Saltillo the
breach had not been healed by the
imp hAo INV dlluOullCtu anu
leaders in the Constitutionalist move
ment, fearing disintegration of the
force which they had built up had
summoned every available man of in
huence to bring the factions together.
Doubt as to Effect.
Some doubt of the effect of the dis
sension on the course of the Constitu-
ionalist movement was expressed by
men closely in touch with revolution
AIRY affairs in Northern Mexico, even
though the breach apparently is heal
ed and both sides have agreed to con-
tinue against a common enemy.
The plan of Guadalupe, on which
The Constitutionalist campaigns nave
been based. provides that the first
chief of the Constitutionalist army
shall remain at the head of the move
ment as provisional president after
Huerta has been eliminated and until
an election has been held and the re-
suit voiced. Hitherto Carranza has
been undisputed first chief.
To ignore Incident.
What effect on the future of the
movement the fact that the
ing officers of the largest and most
powerful single unit Of that army
have denied him that title and au
thority will have cannot yet be learn
ed, according to the travellers. They
said the Carranza forces apparently
planned 70 go ahead as though the
incident never had happened.
Pablo Gonzales, it is said, will at
tack San Luis Potosi Immediately
while Villa is taking Zacatecas and
then move southwark according to the
original plan with Villa advancing
from the center and Obregon from the
west.
New Cabinet Awaited.
Eagle Pass.-The naming of a Con-
stitutionalist cabinet by General Car
rama is eagerly awaited by Constitu-
tionalists az a possible means OF heal.
Ing the breach between General Car
rama and General Villa, according
Monterey. There was a general i'm.
preston at those points, according to
the travellers, that General Carranza
would name his official family within
two or three days.
A hurried call, it is said, has been
sent out from Carranza's headquarters
for representative men, thoroughly
conversant with the ~undercurrent of
Constitutionalist politics., to come to
Saltillo to confer concerning cabinet
choices. 1t is well known, according
to border arrivals, that considerable
opposition has arisen on the part of
Villa and his friends to certain men
close to Carranza.
