the negro chuckled. When placed in

VILLA TO DO AS HE PLEASES.
Two Distinct Governments in
Northern Mexico Result Of
Plan.

FL Paso, Tex, June 19.-Gen. Car.
rama last night advised Lazaro Di
La Cara. Villas agent here. that
the difficulty between himself and
Villa had been adjusted by Carranza
giving his permission to proceed
south to Mexico City, regardless of
the appointment of Gen. Natera as
head of the new central zone.
Carranza said that the forces of
Gen. Obregon in the west and Gen.
Gonzales in the east would work in
dependently of Gen. Villas troops.
The constitutionalist commander
concluded by saying that the misun-
derstanding between himself and
Villa, and any future misunder-
standings between any of the lead
ers, would be left for adjustment
when the three armies meet before
the national capital.
In the meantime Gen Villa will
run his own military and civil Off
GERS in his territory.
The narrative of what occurred
between Carranza and Villa is as fol-
lows:
On Saturday Carranza ordered
Villa to send 5000 men to the as
sistance of Natera, under command
of one of Villa'sgenerals, to Zacatecas
himself remaining with his army,
which would have placed Villas
troops under command of Natera,
in whose zone Zacatecas is located.
After this exchange of kilograms,
Villa proffered his resignation. Car
rama asked that his successor be APP
pointed immed 'ately. Then fol-
lowed a conference of fourteen
generals under Villa, who declined
to accept new leader. Villa then
told Carranza that he was going to
move south, as he had announced
The exchange ended.
Villa took over the Carranza Off
ces and put his own men in. Among
the national officers arrested at
Juarez was Scrapio Aguirre, Carran-
sa's Encouragement, who had been
issuing a new series of constitution
alist money. The money was confs-
lated by Villas troops. 1t amount
I'd to more than 81 100000.
