MESSAGE DECLARES.
BREACH IS CLOSED
CONSUL EDWARD WIRES BRYAN
VILLA AND CARRANZA HAVE
KISSED AND MADE UP.

Washington. June 17.-Secretary of
State Bryan late this afternoon re-
ceived dispatch from Consul Edwards
at Ell Pasn. It that the split between
Carranza and villa had been patched
up and that villa had left for Zaea-
tecas to assume command of the rebel
advance on Mexico City. The Incl
dents recounted In Consul Edwards
report are substantially as follows.
Villa was relieved of command of
the army and was ordered to take up
the duties of civil governor of the
state of Chihuahua He imm ediately
sent his resignation to Carranza
The behef in the minds of some Of
those who have read the Edwards
report Is that the self-termed pro-
visional president was forced into re-
versing himself through the realization
that Villa was actually IN control of
the army. and the probability ex-
listed that he would assume open COM
Ennnd despite the Wishes of Carranza-
1t was almost with a Sigh Of regret
that Washington learned Of Villas de-
cision TO step back into second place
and. nouin ally at least. to take orders
from his former chief. Little doubt
exists that the administration would
he gTnhfled to see villa in open con-
troll Of the rebel provisional govern
u1ent as a result Of the overthrow OF
Carranza- They would expect Villa to
adopt q much more reasonable attt-
tud@ toward the suggestion of the
United States with regard to media
ton.
A conferences of tbs generals was
hurriedly called. some twelve of them
meeting to discuss the situation. 1t
developed that all of them sided with
villa. Especially was this true of
General Angeles. whom Carranza had
chosen to succeed Villa
The generals called upon Carranza
and informed him OF their position.
at this point In the consul's report,
chronology Is left off, and the state
rnent is made that soon after the con-
ference OF the generals Villa left to
assume command at Zacatecas, the
scene OF the recent constitutionaIigt
defeat. The consul gave no intimation
as to the grace with which Carranza
had yielded
The adInistration is badly out Of
patience %th Carranxa, because of the
difficulties which have been ex-
perienoed in dealing with him. and
they regard villa as being at heart
much more friendly to the United
States and much moro susceptible to
reasonable arguments on the part OF
this government
No expression. tnftrsc. or otherwise,
ever has come TO Washington officials
OF his attitude toward mediation.

HEAR OF WRECK
OF TWO STEAMERS

New York, June 1.-THE local Of
fee of the North German-Lloyd line
received tonight this message from
the main office in Bremen:
THE steamship Kaiser Wilhelm, H.,
collided on Wednesday afternoon in
the channel with the British steam
ship Inglemoor. 1t Is likely that tho
Kaiser wilhelm, II, will have to dock
at Southampton. Passengers and crew
all we'll. WIN wire tomorrow how
long it will take to make repairs and
whether or not it will be necessary
to transship passengers"
From the tone OF the dispatch the
impression at the local office was that
the Kaiser Wilhelm was badly dam
aged, and that her passengers would
be transferred to another liner.
The Kaiser Wilhelm, Il. is one of
the North Gernan-LIoyd cracks, and
once held the record between Sandy
Hook and Plymouth. She veraged
twenty-three knots on her first run.
She is 67s feet lonf, of 72 feet beam
and Al feet deep, and displaces 26,5o6
tons. She was built at Stettin, in
1902. Captain Dahl, her commander.

and there was no sign of a panic. The

them, and the anxiety on the part Of

boats were swung into place again.
Both vessels remained Stationery
