eign Minister Ysidro Fabela. through his
newspaper. Ell Pueblo. this morning
called on President Wilson and Sec
rotary OF State Bryan to remove from
office George c. Carothcrs, conflden-
tial agent OF the State Department
with Villa. Without any minclng Of
words. Carothers Is charged with per-
sistent Intriguing In Mexican politics.
"foy motives which are neither dlplo-
matte nor disinterested."
Here. In part. Is the Carranza gov
crnments Indictment OF Carothers. as
set forth In Eel Pueblo:
THE activity OF Carothers Ia truly
unwhoiesome and highly pretudicial to
the peace Of Mexico. Carothers Is con-
tinualiy insinuatins to President Will
Mexico; that he Ia tho only man who
can make pence and give guarantees
to everybody.
"Carothers comes and goes In the in
terror OF the republic. carrying con-
fident!al messages from the northern
rebel to the loyal generals. He whis-
pcrs In their ears perfdious phrases.
insinunting that the United States will
not recognize another government other
than which his intimate friend. the
great General Francisco Villa, will
support He goes secretly and mikes
In the convention at Aguascallentcs.i in
order to assure the members OF the
convention that Washington Will stand
by Its decisions, and, on the whole. does
things which serve to aid the reac-
ton and to divide the great Mexican
family for the purpose OF starting O
new Internal war, and thus affording
plausible pretext for intervention In
the affairs OF Mexico.
C.AFeoTHERs REAL LEADER
OF REACTION IN MEXICO
George g. Cnrothers n North Amer
ican-let the whole nation know It's
the true chief OF Nillaism and OF tho
reaction in Mexico. He goes to Wash
ington and to New York to confer with
Don Ernesto Mndero, Don Rafael Her
nandez, Don Manuel Catero and the
entire reactionary group that Is con-
spring to break up the Constitution
alist revolution. He comes to Mexico
and goes from one end to the other OF
our republic, placing himself under the
shield Of his nationality and dlplo-
matte immunity, 80 as to SOW hatred
and discord and to preach rebellion
TO the loyal generals, II we did not
know the good faith and integrity OF
President Wilson and Secretary OF
State William j. Bryan We should be-
lieve the stories that the United States
has In Mexico agents for stirring up
discord In order TO weaken uS--so that
when the strength of the nation Is cx-
iausted and the people are debilitated
by prolonged internal strife the con-
quest OF Mexico will present fewer OBJ
stacles.
we believe the chief OF these bad
agents OF discord. OF disillusionment
and of death Is George c. Carothers,
the friend and ally OF Francisco Villa
Therefore. in respectful terms. we d.
rect ourselves to the President Of the
United States, Woodrow Wilson, and to
his Secretary Of State. w. j. Bryan,
asking them, for tho welfare OF the
Mexican republic, our country. and for
the same good OF the United States,
that they shall retire from this friend
~ nation Mr.. George G. Carothers, and
that they shall forbid him In the future
to intrude In tho political affairs Of
Mexico"
