that the resignation of Huerta as pro-
visional President was to make any dir
ference IN the attitude OF the rebel lesu-
ers toward the Mexico city government.
II Is considered quite probable In Car
rama circles that there will be a cessation
Of hostlities II Provisional President
CarabaJal asks It, but this is not posi-
tive
The Federal troops are taking no chances
on the war being over and completed to-
day their evacuation Of the port OF
Guaymas. which the Constitutionalists oc-
cupicd. Confirmation OF the sailing Of the
last Of the Federal troops out of Guaymas
to-day was received over Southern Pacific
Railroad wires.
These were the principal developments
in Constltutionalist territory to-day aside
from the establishment of Carranza's
headquarters at Monterey His removal
from Saltillo and arrival at Monterey
We're reported to his agents In Ell Paso
to-day.
Gen. Villa remained in Juarez to-day
but the resignation OF Huerta had appar-
emily not caused much OF "A change in
his attitude toward conditions in Mexico.
He despatched n heavily armed force in
the direction OF Paomas. where yester-
day bandits defeated and annihilated a
garrison OF forty-eght of his men, and
declared that ne would not rest until he
had exterminated every renegade" In his
territory. with villa all those opposed
to him are "renegados"
Villa gave "A dinner Tonight to news
paper men in Juarez.
For the first time Washington to-day
admitted disquetude over the attitude
which villa may take in the present crisis,
and agents of Carranza on the border
read with no little concern the des-
patches stating that it was feared In the
American capital that villa would at
tempt, at the congress OF generals in
Mexico city which will select a tempo
rary provisional President and arrange for
the coming elections, to place some one
in power over Carranza
This fear has been felt among Carranza
men here for a number OF days, and IL
was predicted in dispatches from here TO
THE SUN more than week ago that
when the time came at Mexico city to
choose a leader villa would attempt TO
get votes enough 10 place some man in
the place of provisional President instead
OF Carranza. This would be resented by
Carranza and his followers, perhaps to
the extent OF armed resistance and should
Carranza succeed in holding majority
n votes IL is believed that villa would
resent the defeat so strongly that he
would take the field against the majority
This has been the belief here and the
fact that villa returned northward with
all his troops following fhe peace con-
ference at Torreon. has been the cause Of
further speculation
Carranzas men know that the United
States State Department has a man closer
to villa than perhaps any other man In
the world, and when they see pessimistio
stories from Washington they are much
affected. Consequently the tenor OF
dispatches to-day has not served to
renew the faith Of the Carranza men In
the future attitude OF villa toward their
chief

the road unless the directors change their
minds
Special Associate Attorney General
Thomas w Gregory will file the papers
in the suit at an early date unless there
is a change IN front by the directors Mr.
Gregory will handle the case and the
United states District Attorneys OF New
York will not participate actively in the
action.
Mr.. McReynolds takes the stand that
there Is absolutely no excuse furnished
by the character of the Massa chusetts
Legislation for the objections to the dis
solution plan offered by the New Haven
road
The Department Of Justice was at n loss
TO understand the statement Of the New
Haven directors tonight that the way had
not been closed for further negotiations
The Department, IL may be said. knows
Of no means by which the contemplated
suit In equity can be precluded save by
the acceptance OF the Massachusetts leg
islition on tho part OF tho New Haven
directors.
No negotiations have been begun by
the Department OF Justice with New
Haven officials and officials OF the Massa-
chusetts State government looking toward
any change In the provision for the sale
OF Boston and Maine stock which would
pave the way for acceptance of the Gov
crnments reorganization plan. II was
denied tonight that Attorney Gene raj
McReynolds has conferred recently with
resident Hnstis. as was reported here
to-day.
The Attorney-General did see yesterday
Massachusetts Public Utilities Commits
sloner George w. Anderson. but the sub
jcct under discussion was not the New
Haven reorganization.
\ question of intense interest In on
clal circles here tonight was the atti-
tude OF the AttDrney-ieneral toward
probable criminal proceedings against
the New Haven officials responsible for
the establishment Of the alleged New
Haven monopoly. There is strong be-
lief that indictments would be sought not
Very long after the civil suit Is filed.
Friends of the Attorney General have
said with authority while the decision
as 10 the civil suit was pending that
criminal Investigation would be be-
gun when matters relating to the actual
transportation system were cleared away.
Mr.. McReynolds declined tonight to
mako any comment upon the news
which came 20 him unofficially with re-
gard 10 the action OF the New Haven
directors to-day. II IL understood, how
ever, that he viii issue statement set
ting forth the position OF the Department
soon after he has been informed directly
by the New Haven officials what they
have finally determined upon.

BILLIARD REFUSES TO TALK.

MERTpEN, Conn, July l6--W1sh his
characteristic cheerfulness, John l.. Bill

Mr. Billiard said he had not heard Of

everybody else where an action to re-

Tomorrow. SO far as can be ascertained
nothing has occurred on the journey

Twenty ninth Regiment.
This much is known. that the train
passed Orizaba on the line OF the Mexi-
can Railway early this morning and a
little later reached Cordoba, where the

that 1t passed TERRA Blanca, where an

that tho train is stopping there for the

ton only through Col. Izunza, who Is

The resignation Of Huerta has had n
marked effect on the refugee colony
here. The foreigners. particularly the
Germans and English. are making
preparations to return to the capital
and the Americans who are here want

cupation OF Mexico city by the Con-
ritutionalists will be peaceful and that
all troubles will be adjusted very
quickly,
The refugees who want TO return are
as a rule managers OF large planta-
tons and hAniendas who hope TO get
back to work In time to save something
out OF thu years crops They admit
they viii ind things in a chaotic con-
dftion, but they want to get started.
II peace does come there will be a
boom at Vera Cruz and other seaports.
All freight which arrived since the oc-
cupation IL stored here and the ware

TO be moved by the railroads and II
means double time for many until the
