dent Carbajal to the effect that were
shown today by his personal repre-
Jose CastelIot, to Secretary

Mr.. Castellot said the representa-
tives from Mexico City to the effect
that an armistice already had been
signed were premature. but with the
arrival of the Carbajal delegates at
Carranza's Headquarters such a
truce would be made.

intended to spend but few days in
Tampico, returning then to Saltillo

al Gonzales andss1iis forces at San
Luis Potosi to proceed at once to
Queretaro to form a junction with
the forces of General Obregon. Nc
mention was made of orders to Villa.

Calientes. Carranza's telegrams
spoke OF the occupation of that city
by the constitutiOnalists but did not
say who was in command.
Luis Cabrera ana Francisco Iglcs-
las Calderon, two prominent consti-
Itutionalists who have been here for
several weeks looking after the in

deron will be minister Of foreign re-
lations when Carranza organizes a
cabinet in Mexico City.

charge of Carranza's interests here.

concerned in the killing of Madero
and Suarez. Officials expected to
see the agreement perfected within
the next three or four days.

The customs officials placed in ef-

department to search carefully all
shipments of any nature.
George Bell, .Jr.. in charge at Fort

rests or detentions could be made
although the ammunition could be
confiscated.
