This statement, while regarded as vastly
more satisfactory than Carranza's previ-
ous amazing announcem, mt that he would
not recognize the right OF the United
States to act In behalf OF other Govern
ments interested In Mexico, Is not consid-
cred ~ fully meeting expectations. While
conceding that the United States Consdis
may make representations to him In re-
gard 10 the interests OF other Govern
ments, Carranza's latest note stu leaves
one question not definitely settled. The
rebel chief says that the Governments
concerned may very well authorize other
persons who may well he the Consuis OF
the United States, to present their unoi-
clal represen tations in the name or these
Governments, the power being properly
drawn up
| II 10 certain that II Carranza expects
Great Britain or Other interested Govern
ments TO confer upon United states Con-
suls In Mexico direct authorization to
| represent them IN Constitutlonalist terri
| tory he will be disappointed.
This 10 positively stated In well In
| formed quarters here The other Gov
| ernments have no intention OF Withdraw
| ing from their previous position that they
| will deal with Carransa not at all but will
| turn over matters concerning their ma
| tionals In rebel territory to the United
States. a Government which has con-
sented 20 such procedure.
| Secretary Bryan sent to-day to the
embassies which have requested the
United States to act for them in northern
| Mexico copies Of the CarrAnxa note.
These embassies. Including the British.
Spanish and some Others, have always
taken the position that the relation be-
tween the United States and Carransa 10
none OF their concern. and It Is not be-
lieved they win find In the Carranza
note any occasion for taking action.
Reports from Chihuahua TO the effect
that Villas ambition 10 TO be President
Of Mexico were read With Keen interest
mere to-day. Repeated assurances re-
garding the relations between Carranxa
and villa have not yet dispelled the idea
from the minds OF Washington officials
that villa does not Intend 20 permit
Carranza to reap all the benefits from the
fighting that ne. villa, has done.
Admiral FLETCHER reported that while
all Is now quiet at Tampico a rebel attack
on the city Is expected momentarily by
It's residents.
Arrangements are being made to afford
proper protection to foreigners. They
will I've taken on the vessels OF the inter
national squadron now at or near Tam.
pico Admiral Howard reported from
the west coast that the Federals had made
a forced loan OF more than $4,000 a,
0uaymas.
Secretary OF State Bryan said to-da,
that he was not Informed Of the reports
tnat Pres.ueft nuerta nhu refused 10 per
nit the delivery OF consignment o
rifles said 10 have been sent from IN,
United States warships At Vera Cruz {,
the American Embassy at Mexico city
The Secretary said he knew of no recen
shipment Of arms to the embassy.
1t Is understood that Admiral F1etche
some time ago directed that some rifc
be sent from tho battleships to the EN-
bassy and II Is presumed that this 4
the consignment which II IL now reporte,
that Huerta In refusing TO permit beinI
delivered to Charge d'Afaires O Shaugh
messy. II 10 not believed here that Huer.i
will attempt to prevent the United State
from placing arms In the American En-
bassy for the use OF Americans In Mex
leo city.
More than year ago the War he
psrtment sent to Mexico a large cons.gn
ment OF rifles and ammunition. whcl
were sold at cost TO American resident
In Mexico city.
