tonight admitted the Mexican situation had assumed
grave aspect. Tomorrow night General Eulaio Cutter
will be sworn in Mexican provisional president.
Carranza has been informed that immediate hostiteS
against him rebel will begin he does not recognize
Guterrezs authority.
Gutierrez has assured United States agents that
when he sworn will issue proclamation covering
the points desired by the United States in connection with
the Vera Cruz evacuation, and Villa has stated he will
back UP Gutierrez in such proclamation
Carranza has partially fulfilled Washington's request
for guarantees but his decree does not satisfy the main
point asked by the United States That the Mexlcans
served the Americans during the occupation of Vera
Cruz will not be punished for such service.
In official quarters there is feeling that Carranza
realizes the bulk of the army against him and will not
oppose the Aguas Calientes conventions orders.
