nj Paso. Nov. Hopes OF a
peaceful settlement through the ap-
parently congenial conference at
Aguas Callentes were blighted today.
A statement from General Carranza
was given out by Rafael u. Muzquiz,
his consul general In the United
states. in which the constitutionalist
chief expressed strongly his dissatis-
faction with the action of the confer
ence. From the villa side came no
comment.
The three e-cornered Cancellation
conference at Aguas Calientes had
acted upon Carranzas proposition Of
resignation conditional upon the re-
tirement also of General Villa, by
adopting a clause in the plan which
said.
Retire Two Chieftains.
''ft Is TO the interest of the revolu-
tion that Citizen Venustiano Carran-
"a give up the position of commander
in-chief In charge of executive power
and that Citizen Francisco villa retire
as chief of the division of the north"
This was adopted by the joint COM
mittee of Carranza and villa spokes-
men and passed by an overwhelming
vote by the convention of more than
one hundred chiefs.
The matter of General Zapata, the
southern revolutionist, whose elimina-
tion also was demanded by Carranza,
was not acted upon since the Zapata
delegates had not yet been fally su-
thorized to act with power of attor-
ney by their chief.
TO this General Carranza replied to-
day:
Carranza's Reply.
Having seen in the press the res
olutions given out by the committee
in charge OF my note of October %
and authorized to report thereon,
which note was sent to the convention
at Aguas Calientes, have become
cognizant of the discussion about that
note. ! would be glad II the military
chieftains who make up that conven-
tion would notice carefully the terms
of that note so as not to interpret 1t
in different sense from what was in
tended.
ut clearly expresses to that con-
vention the conditions under which
would be willing to present my resig-
nation which | have not yet formulat-
ed. That resignation ] shall present
upon being informed that the conven-
ton has determined upon a form of
provisional government which shall
guarantee the realization Of revolu-.
tionary reforms and the fulfillment of
revolutionary pledges: that General
villa would give up his command of
the division of the north according to
the terms of my note and in such
way as to assure his actual retire.
ment; that the convention obtain
from General zapata fulfllment of
the conditions named in the note.
These matters being of extreme
Importance, any undue haste in de-
termining upon them might result in
this convention making resolutions
in regard to me without being
assured that the conditions un-
der which I will present my resigna-
ton are to be duly carried out.
Il desire, then. to be informed Inn
mediately upon the acceptance by
Generals Villa and zapata Of the
terms of my note and also to be no.

adopted by the delegates in order that
l may then present my resignation.
