Washington, April s.-The cancella-
tion by the Huerta government Of the
exequator Of American Consular Agent
George c. Carothers because he sent
to Washington dispatches saying the
rebels had taken Torreon from the
Huerta forces. failed to disturb state
government still denies Torreon has
fallen.
Mr.. Carothers obtained his exequator
when he was accredited to the Madero
government and stationed at Torreon.
Since the outbreak Of the Carranza
revolution he has had rowing COM
mission in northern Mexico and his
exequator from the Mexico City gov
ernment has been Of little value to him,
all his dealings being with the constitu-
tionaiists. 1t Is the intention of the
American government to keep Carothers
with General Villa and the constitu-
tionalist leaders to make representa-
ton for the Americans and other
foreigners to look after their inter-
ests generally.
Not Ineonvsnienesd.
Should Mr. -Carothers find it neces-
sary to go into territory controlled by
the Huerta government he may now
be unable to do business with its local
authorities, but there is no prospect
that he personally will be inconven-
fenced or prevented from making OBJ
servations as an unofficial representa-
tive. Neither John Lind nor William
Bayard Hale had an exequator while in
federal territory.
Official advices telling Of the expul-
sion OF the 900 Spaniards from Tor
reon BY General Villa were expected
today. Until the Spanish ambassador
calls It to the attention Of the state
department there rs little likelihood OF
any action BY the, Washington gov

The United States has issued

The right of deportation Is one pro-
