the changes in the situation are said to
have prevented his leaving Villa at this
time.
Through his commercial agent on the
border, Lazaro de la CARA, Villa an
nounced to-day that the edict against
Spaniards had been rescinded. De la
Cara said he had been instructed by
Villa to say that all Spaniards driven
from Mexico by the rebels might return
to their homes and their work with
ample guarantee Of safety. Villa de-
clared that the order expelling the
Spaniards was necessary because Of
the antagonistic feeling against them
shown by the people, and that he sent
the Spaniards out to protect them. No
promise is made to restore the property
seized from the Spaniards.
Juarez has been keenly apprehensive
and ominously quiet to-day. Colonel
Tomas Ornelas, commander Of the
Juarez garrison, who carried out Villas
order to seize the government offices
and arrest the Carranza officials, said
that he acted only under orders, and he
had no idea what would be General
Villas next move.
An order has gone out that no official
shall talk Of the new situation, and the
order has been we'll obeyed. Censor
ship over the telegraph lines is main
tanned, Villa is in full control Of all
branches of the government, and with
the exception Of the rioting here last
night, when twenty or more shots were
exchanged between Villa troops and
Carranza sympathizers, there has been
no demonstration.

At the Curtiss aeroplane factory the
men are working enthusiastically to have
the machine out in time for a trial this
week. Among the tests to be made is
that Of trying the flying qualities of the
machine with the use Of but one motor.
This is likely TO be difficult as the motors
are off centre, and the torque resulting
from the action of only one motor will

much more substantial Money, and
money in ample measure, has been sup
Piled him for the purpose.
Where this money comes from is a
secret just beginning to trickle out.
When the leak assumes the proportions
Of a revelation, as it promises to do
when information wired to Washing
ton tonight by United States officials
here is made known, that revelation
will be the biggest sensation since
MeXico's troubles began.
For it is charged on information said
to have been officially obtained that
American oil and mining corporations
have been supplying the funds in re-
turn for concessions by Villa which
will enable these corporations abso-
lutely to dominate the petroleum and
mineral wealth Of Mexico.
The official who made the report sent
to Washington has just returned from
an official tour Of Northern Mexico,
terminating with a considerable stay
at Juarez and FL Paso. He names the
Ell Paso Hotel and the number of the
room where the conferences relative
to the financing of Villas revolt
against Carranza took place. He gives
the identity Of every man who had any
part in this interesting conference. in
Guiding several United States officials.
II is declared that the administra-
tion had inklings Of these things be-
fore and that the report will have an
immediate and decisive effect on its at
titude toward Mexico.
The report affirms that practically
every mineral concession in Chihua
lua and Sonora was granted TO the
representatives Of the mining corpora
ton by orders of Villn in return for
exceedingly remunerative allowances
Copies of the official papers granting
these concessions went to General Car
rama Nobody doubted but that he
would approve them. Instead, he
demonstrated with Villa and endeav
ored TO persuade him 10 undo his ac-
tion. Villa was Obdurate, however
and when Carranza tried to discipline
him broke into open revolt.
