planned by Carranza. Officials were
confident an amicable understanding
would be reached and did not attrib-
ute any significance to the activity of
the roaming Zapatistas bands near
Mexico City.
Gen. Carranza through the American
consuls accompanying him sent re-
newed assurances of his friendliness
for the United States and indicated he
would make satisfactory arrangements
concerning the amnesty and guaran-
tees desired by the Carbajal govern
ment. Carranza arrived at Tampico.

Cepeda, his intimate friend, who has
been authorized by Provisional Presi-
dent Carbajal to make preliminary ar
rangements for the transfer of the
government to the constitutionalists
While Gen. Carranza is ready to
grant an amnesty and give guarantees
to those who have opposed the consti-
tutionalists, persons criminally respon-
sible for the assassination of Maderol
and Sarez will not be given immunity.

country the Carbajal government is
not disposed to object to such excep-
lions, especially as it is intended to
prosecute them through the courts.

over Gen. Villas attitude also were
quoted, when word came from him
that he would do all In his power to-
restore peace in Mexico, and would
unite with the other constitutionalist
leaders toward that common purpose.
Villas message was sent in response
to the personal appeal Of the Wash
ington government. Officials felt, aft
er the receipt of Villas message, that
even if political dissension did arise
such friction would not be permitted
by Villa to develop to the point of
counter revolution.
