BURY THEIR PERSONAL DIFF.
FERENCES-MAkE PEACE AND
FORM NEW GOVERNMENT.

in Mexico to bury their personal diff
ferences and work in harmony for
the establishment of q new govern
ment.
Secretary Bryan telegraphed both
George C. Carothers and John r. Sill
liman, representatives of the state
department with Gen. Villa and Gen.
Carranza, respectively, urging that
thev present in a most friendly yet
effective manner the Importance OF
es. While the recent conference OF
Carranza and villa delegates at Tor
reon agreed upon terms designed to
heal the breach between the two lead
ers. new disquieting reports have
come to the effect that Villa was pre-.
pairing to concentrate his troops in
chihuahua and hold himself aloof
from Carranzas authority.
Bryan's kilograms.
Mr.. Bryan's kilograms to the two
constitutionalst leaders indicated that
the American government would dis
approve or counter-revolutions
The general situation today did not
seem as promising for peace to some
diplomats as it did to administration
officials.
Gen. Carranza has insisted that
surrender of the Carbajal government
be unconditional. Representatives OF
Mr.. Carbajal said guarantees and am
nesty first must be granted. Secre'
tary Bryan was confident today that
a middle ground would be reached
when commissioners from the Car
baial government and the constitu-
tionalists met in a few days at Sal
tillo. Francisco Iglesias Calderon
and Luis Cabrera, who will leave
here in day or two, will act with
lose Vasconcelos as the constitutions
alist commission. No official informa-
ton has yet been received here as to
whether Provisional President Carba-
jal sent his ENJOYS.
Grievances lncrdase.
France now has been added to Great
Britain and Spain as nations having
grievances against the constitutional
SITS which will be set aside for fu-
ture reckoning and not forgotten. Eng
land will eventually demand satisfac-
tion for the killing of Benton. Spain
wants her subjects reimbursed for
losses through confiscation of property
and France is now making urgent rep
resentations concerning the death OF
wo French citizens at Zacatecas, mem
bers of the Clerical Order of Christian
Brothers. Charge Clause of the
French embassy laid the situation be-
fore President Wilson today, saying
the two Frenchmen had been killed
by Gen. Villas orders.
Will Not Surrender Internationally.
Provisional President Carbajal does
not intend to surrender unconditional
IN to Gen. Carranza, and will concen'
trate his military forces and resist
an invasion rather than permit the
constitutionalists to enter the City OF
Mexico without previous agreements
not to wreak vengeance on the lives
and property of those who supported
Gen. Huerta. This was the tenor of in
formation from authoritative sources to
day in the City of Mexico to Wash
! ington diplomats. 1t spread a feeling
of pessimism in some quarters ovel
| the possibility of an amicable settle
ment of the revolution.
Emilio Rabasa, head of the delega
ton which represented Gen. Huert;
at the Niagara conference, arrived here
/ today and discussed the situation Will
the South American mediators ant
then at the Mexican embassy witt
Jose Castellot, personal representa-
tive of Carbajal.
Confident of Agreement.
Mr. Castellot, however, said he wa
confident ultimately there would b.
an agreement between Carbajal ant
Carranza.
Another aspect of the situation
which was commented on was tn
knowledge that Gen. Carranza, Will
informing the American consuls a
Monterey that he would receive
commission from Carbajal, made
plain that he would do so only 4
arrange for the unconditional surrer
der of the City OF Mexico authorities
These uncompromising terms hav
puzzled the diplomats who were hoI
ing for a quick solution. They be
