ON getting possession of Torreon
and Chihuahua, Gems. Carranza ano
Villa issued orders for the expulsion
of all Spanish citizens, and Spaniards
generally were run out of the country
in short order. The understanding Is
that their property is to be confiscat-
ed. Spain has raised protest and II
is reported that Washington has made
representations to the rebel leaders;
but Carranza and Villa remain firm

source that Gen. CarranZa and Gen
Villa are in thorough accord on the
subject and all the Spanish subjects

control. will be treated as at Torreon
and Chihuahua. George c. Carothers
is known to have talked with Gen
Carranza on the Spanish question al
Juarez, on Wednesday. The confer
ence lasted a half hour. When Ca
rothers emerged he rushed to his au-
tomobile and refused to answer the
questions of inquirers. The purport OF
the conference leaked out through
sources which hitherto have proved
reliable. 1t was said Carothers in
formed Carranza that summary eX-
pulsion Of the Spaniards was consia
cred gravely at Madrid and without
favor at Washington. The general re-
piled that evidence of Spanish con-
spiracy against the revolution was
overwhelming in all parts OF ths
country. that their expulsion was no.
only just but the part of wisdom
The policy of expulsion includes al
Spanish subjects in Mexico. Spanlards
who are naturaliZed MeXicans are no
embraced in the general order.
