MEXICAN SITUATION AGAIN HAS ASSUMED A DELICATE ASPECT Carranza Only Partially Fulfilled Guarantee Be- fore U. s. Troops Left GUTIERREZ TO BE
 SWORN IN TODAY If Carranza Defies Conference and Rasists Deposition Conditions at < Vera Cruz May Become
 Strained

Washington. 4ovember s.--Adminis- tration officials admitted tonight that the Mexican situation again had as- stunned a delicate aspect.
 General Carranza has fulfilled partially Washington's request for guarantees be- fore withdrawing American troops from Vera Cruz. but his decree does not satisfy the main point asked by the United States --that Mexicans who served the Ameri- can government during the occupation of the port be not punished subsequently, for such service.
 At o'clock tomorrow night General Eulalio Gutierrez selected by the Aguas Calientes convention, will be sworn in uovisional President of Mexico. Car z ranza has been informed and immediate hostilities against him as a rebel will begin if he does not recognize the au- thority of Gutierrez.
 No COgnizance of Decree
 On account of the brevity of Carranza' $ tenure, the American government in all probability will take no cognizance of the decree which he is reported to have issued respecting the American cccupa- ton of Vera Cruz. General Gutrrez ale ready has assured agents of the United States kovernment that when he is sworn in he will issue a proclamation covering all points desired General Villa has stated that he will back up Gutierrez in such proclamation.
 difficult situation may arise, how ever, if, as is generally expected in Wash ington, Carranza defies the convention and his forces and those under control of the convention begin to battle. Gen eral Candido Aguilar, commanding the state of Vera Cruz. Is loyal to Carranza. With unrest inspired by Carranza through the issuance of circulars and petitions calling on the American forces to with draw, officials realize that the situation at Vera Cruz might become strained at any moment
 In official quarters here there Is feeling that General Carranza realizes that the bulk of the army is against hin and will not oppose the conventions or. ders. A special agent of the America. government at Aguas Calientes reported that the convention recently admonishec 'Carranza not to attempt to distribute a fund of 5.000.000 pesos through the army as he planned. giving generals 5000 each and privates ten pesos each outside oi their salary. The convention informed Carranza he would be held personally responsible for the use of the funds.
 Issue Manifesto
 The assembly also has issued a mani festo proclaiming It's sovereignty and has telegraphed all agencies throughout for. eign lands and through Mexico stating that it will be in supreme control ol government machinery after November 10
 General Gutierrez. with the consent oi the convention. has named Enrique c Llorent as special representative in Wash ington. He formerly was Mexican consu at Galveston and Fl Paso and mar. e the daughter vl a prominent American 1T Galveston. He Is still under indictnien for alleged recruiting of Mexicans or American territory during the Mader' regime.
