WAsHlNGTON. oct. at nof'icial re-
ports reached here to-day that the Mexi-
can convention at Aguascallentes had
passed a resolution ordering the deposi-
tion Of Carranza as head of the pro-
visonal Government and the removal
OF Gen. Villa as comman dcr of the
division of the north. These reports
are not yet confirmed in official des-
patches
The state Departments latest adj
vices do not touch upon the proceedings
of either yesterday or to-day, though
the last report received stated that the
Iapata delegates were insisting that
some action he taken at once in regard
10 Carranza and the selection Of a pro-
vis!onal President to succeed him.
II is understood that both Carranza
and Villa have their forces mobilized
near AEuasralicntcS. 1t is doubtful If
either Of them accepts the edict Of the
convention, tarranZa has declared he
would not withdraw unless villa retired
10 private life and gave up his military
command
The pertinent question asked is How
is the convention going to enforce us
orders upon either Carran2a or villa
II is regarded as more than likely that

obey the convention will promptly split
