FIGHTING IS ON
But Washington Still Hopes for
Mexican Peace.
Leaving Troops at Vera Cruz
Just the Same.

Washington. Sept. 2e.-Despite the
news that forces Of Carranza under
General Benjamin Hill were routed in
an engagement with troops Of Cover
nor Maytorena, in connection with the
revolution proclaimed by the state of
Sonora in defiance of General Car
rama, administration officials here to-
day still were hopeful that the trou-
bles between Carranza and Villa would
be settled without serious fighting.
villa is said to have 5000 men on
the way to Sonora. and it Is believed
this force will SO outnumber the fol-
lowers Of Carranza that the latter will
avoid q fight, thus insuring temporary
peace at least.
The hope Of officials today that ac-
tual warfare would be averted was
further strengthened by the fact that
Carranza has said he will not attack
Villa.
Meantime there seems to be little
prospect of the American troops being
withdrawn from Vera Cruz until the
troubles between the two generals are
adjusted General Funston has been
notified that Vera Cruz is not to be
