 TO GEN. CARRANZA
Bryan Requests COnStitutionaliSt Chief to Show Regard for Lives and PrOp- erty for FOreigners-Re Recognition Not Discussed.

Washington, July 16.-Formal an nouncement to the United States of the resignation of Huerta and the succession of Carbajal as provisional president, was made through the state department today by Don Riano, the Spanish ambassador who represents the Mexican government in Washing ton.
 The developments following Hu- erta's departure may be summed up as follows:
 The policy of "watchful waiting" will be continued.
 The troops and ships will remain at Vera Cruz.
 Secretary Bryan appealed to Car anza to regard the property and rights of foreigners at Mexico City and elsewhere, and to deal leniently with leaders of the opposition, but placed no alternative before Casranza in his message. ..,@-- s egtt Secretary Bryan stated that the question of recognition of Carranza as provisional president of Mexico had not formed part of the correspond ence between the state department and it's agents in Mexico. The state department has received no assurances from Carranza that he will give attention to the appeals that he regard the humanities in his fu- ture movements.
 Secretary Bryan stated there has been no consideration yet of resuming diplomatic relations with Mexico City routine. Communications from the Americaan governemtn today were ad- dressed to the minister of foreign af- fairs. Mexico City," and sent through the Brazilian ambassador.
 Apprehend Villa Revolt. Apprehension is growing in admin istration circles that Villa will de- clare an independent Mexican repub- lie in the north and that fighting will be resumed with renewed bitterness.
 The constitutionalist junta here is expecting word tonight from Carran- ga informing it as to his position in dealing with the Carbajal regime.
 The state department both through Consul Carothers at Saltillo and Charles Douglass, legal adviser for the constitutionalist agency in Washington, has sought to have Car ranza make clear what will be his course now that Huerta has abdicated
 Villas attitude toward the new shaping of conditions continues to give the Carranza representatives here more genuine worry and concern than anything Carbajal may do. The lat ter, they say, is merely temporary problem of slight diplomatic import ance but they believ that Villa is the black cloud on the horizon that pos siblyy portends a new revolution in Mexico.

 STRUGGLE IS OVER
First Chief Expects Oyertures for Sur render, But Is Ready to Continue Fight-JOhn Lind Raps Republi-
 can Critics of Wilson.

Washington, July 16.--The state de- partment was notified tonight by Fran cisco Carbajal, successor to Presl- dent Huerta as provisional president of Mexico, that he intends to retire in favor of General Carranza. All that Senor Carbajal asks is the procla- nation of general amnesty and the assurance that protection will be glV- en to the property of those who have been fighting the constitutionalists. Jose Kastellat, former member of the Mexican senate, called at the state department tonight to present Senor Carbajal's views which were express ed in a personal telegram received | through the Mexican embassy and which bore the date of July Ia, read ing as follows:
 1 "I have just taken the oath of office 7. as president of the republic. Gener- als Huerta and Banquet departed to- might for Europe. I desire to make it known with emphasis that my one purpose is to facilitate a solution of the grave problem which weighs on our country. 1 have not the slightest ambition for myself, and merely wish to terminate the internal conflict Of our country. Please give your impress sions of the situation in Washington.
 Francisco Carbajal."
 Senor Kastellat expressed to MT. Tryan that the Mexican embassy con- strues this message to mean that Senor Carbajal had no intention of remaining as presindent of Mexico, but had taken office only to afford General Huerta with an opportunity to retire gracefully aand pave the way for the final triumph of the constitu- tionalists.

Monterey, Mexico, July 16.-In an interview today, First Chief of the COnstitutionalists Carranaza said:
 "The retirement from power of Vic- toriano Huerta aand the substitution in his place of Francisco Carbajal leads me to believe that Huerta's suc- cessor will soon begin negotiations to turn over the government. I believe it would be usless for hi into propose otherwise than an unconditional sur render. but if such is not the case the struggle will continue on our part until we obtain complete triumph of our cause, which is thaht of justice for the people. If necessary, we shall obtain a quick victor through the ad- vance of our troops"
