CARRANzh Hopes
To STOP VILLA
SENTIME IN
West MEXICO

Mazatlan, Mex, Dec. 23.-Fia Wire
less to San Diego.-Tn the hope of
raising forces to check Villa senti-
ment on the west coast of Mexico,
Gen. Jesus Carranza, brother of Gen.
Venustiano CarranZa. left Mazatlan
today aboard the Mexican gunboat
Guerrero for Salina Cruz. General
Carranza,s departure followed upon a
conference here with General Iturbe
Loyalty on the Guerrero to the Car
RAMA party was considered so uneer-
tain that military guard went along
to keep the crew from mutiny.
Interest in any further fighting
along the Pacific coast has died out
and the soldiers are selling their arms
and ammunition. Troops stationed at
Mazatlan have destroyed the FORTH
cations. Quiet prevails along the en-
tire coast and it is freely reported that
the Carranza chiefs are preparing 20
leave the country.
One OF the effects of the long drawn
out warfare has been the shrinkage in
the value of Mexican money, until
one peso today in Mazatlan Is worth
only Is cents American.
The assistance of the American
navy was required to extricate Cap
tain Stewart of the Pacific Mail liner
San Juan from an embarrassing situa-
ton in Salina Cruz today. A Mexican
general detained the vessel when she
put in at that port, demanding trans
portation for his troops and horses.
When the San Juan had been delayed
an hour, however, the cruiser Raleigh
vas seen approaching, and the gen
eraI hastily withdrew his request.
