In the Constitutionalist ranks had been

here, who hope mediation OF the
Mexican e%mbroglio soon may be con

While no official dispatches had

the Constitutionalists' ~internecine af-
fairs, a message last night from Gen.
Villa, addressed to the American
agent, Felix Sommerfield, declared
the TorreOn conference vas pro-
crossing satisfactorily and that diff

Mutiny among Mexican Federal sol
Mers near American outposts at Vera
Cruz was a subject Of interest in
American official quarters. Several
messages from Gen. Funston report
ed that fighting between the Federals
and mutineers was in progress. The
Mexican Federal commander pre-
viOusly had warned Gen. Funston that
the mutineers had threatened to at
tack the American lines.
An element of humor was injected
into the situation when a representa-
tive Of the revolutionary junta at
Vera Cruz asked Gen. Funston for
permission to 60 out and direct the
mutiny. Officials here see danger
for Gen. Huerta should the mutiny
cut Off his exit from Mexico City. His
early departure is assumed in official
circles, but If the mutineers triumph
1t Is pointed out that Huerta scarcely
could expect safe conduct to the gulf
