REBELS WON'T Join
PEACE CONFERENCE
CarranZa'S Generals Don't Ap-
prove of Mediation Plans.
MINISTERNAON SURPRISED
Bryan Refuses 10 Talk Until He
Hears Officially From
Carran2a

Washington, July 8.-Border dis
patches stating that the Constitu-.
tionalists would not enter informal
peace conferences with Huerta rep
regentatives were partially con-
firmed here tonight. Rafael Zu-
baran and Luis Cabr ira, the two
most prominent CarranZa represent
atives here, had nothing to say, but
word that most of the constitutional
ist generals, to whom the plan for
conferences had been submitted, had
disapproved it, came from well in
formed sources.
Minister Naon, of Argentina, the
only one of the mediators in Wash
ington, read the dispatches with evil
dent surprise. He indicated that the
mediators would take no action un-
til the attitude of the constitutional
lists was learned officially.
Secretary Bryan said it would be
improper for him to discuss the sit
uation in advance OF the arrival of
Carranza's formal answer
That the constitutionalist leaders
strongly oppose the idea of peace
conferences did not surprise officials.
who have maintained it would be
virtually impossible to modify the
plan Of Guadaloupe, which provides
that a military government shall be
set up after Mexico City is conquer
ed, and that no elections shall be
held until the country is pacified by
military rule.
DIFFERENCES COMPOSED.
Reports from Torreon that differ
ences between Carranza and Villa
had been composed were verified to-
day by agents of both. There was.
however, an undertone of comment,
indicating that it was but a tenn
porary truce. The break has had a
disorganizing effect politically in the
Constitutionalist ranks and evi-
dences of it are manifest in Mexican
circles here. Reports from the bor-
der today said one of the conditions
of the agreement between Carranza
and Villa was that Hafael Zubaran
be retired from his post as head of
the constitutionalist agency here.
Mr. Bubaran and Mr.. Cabrera
have worked hard to bring about
informal conference with the Huerta
delegates, who now are in New
York.

WILL RECONSTRUCT
REBEL GOVERNMENT
Change Necessary in Machinery
Which Has Been Conducting
Revolutionary Movement.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 8.-Recon-
struction of the constitutionalist gov
ernment machinery in Chihuahua
will begin Immediately as a result of
the settlement of the Carranza-ViIla
dispute.
Carranza officials ousted from
office in Juarez and other Chihuahua
cities by the Villa faction will be re-
instated, according to Carranza
agents here today. Such action
would mean the restoring of federal
telegraph and railway lines in Chi
huahua to the control of Carranza
lappointees Most of these men are
among the "a Carranza officials held
as virtual prisoners in chihuahua
city by the Villa authorities since the
breach
At least three Carranza officials
will resign, owing to the demands
made by Villas Delegates. Isidre
| Fabela, minister of Communications
in the Carranza cabinet; Alfredo
Brecedo, one of the Carranza special
agents in Washington, and Gen.
Isidro Arevino, chief of staff of the
constitutionalist leader, will be re-
moved, according to well informed
constitutionalists in Ell Paso.
1t is reported that Rafael Zu-
baran, special representative of
Carranza in Washington, also may
resign, as the Villa faction is bitter
against him. In return for these
concessions on Carranza's part, Villa
has acknowledged absolute subordi-
nation to him, according to mes
sages from Torreon. Whether Gen
eral Felipe Angeles, chief of artillery
under Villa, will be expelled from
the constitutionalist ranks by Car
ranza's order, still was a matter of
conjecture.
While on the surface everything
seems peaceful there is growing con-
viction on both sides here that the
adjustment is only temporary. Villa
is sending his brigades northward
from Erorreon Ostensibly to recuper-
ate.

Militia Come Through State.
ADJT. GEN. MOORE TALKS.
Says Request of Georgia Adjutant
General to Pass Troops Was
Unnecessary

Atlanta, July 8.-Differences ex-
listing between Governor Blease of
South Carolina and the war depart
ment are responsible for the COVER
nor's refusal to allow the state
troops of Georgia and North Carolina
to pass through South Carolina to
the proposed joint encampment in
Augusta, Ca, next month it was indi-
Gated here tonight.
Adjutant General Nash OF the
Georgia National Guard made pub
lie a letter from Adjutant General
Moore of the South Carolina Ma
tional Guard, which said that the
ban would not be removed until the
issues between Governor Blease and
Secretary of War Garrison had been
settled.
The war department recently
withdrew an invitation to the South
Carolina militia to participate in the
encampment because they did not
meet the requirements os the Dick
militia law in the matter of equip
ment and number of enlisted men i'm
the various grades.
Trouble ha- previousl. arisen be-
tween the governor and the secre-
tary of war over the location of the
proposed encampment on the Isle OF
Palms at Charleston, S. c. Secre.
tary Garrison finally premptorily
transferred, the camp to Augusta.
