REBEL CHIEFTAINS
NEAR PARTING or
WAYS, 1T is SAID

FL Paso. Tex. June 3O..-Lack OF
ammunition has blocked General Villas
march toward Mexico City. Villa,
fresh from his victory last week at
Zacatecas, has returned to Torreon,
bringing his entire army with him. The
relations OF the northern zone com
mander with General Carranza in the
opinion Of agents here today, I'M
questionably caused the abandonment
of the campaign. The much discussed
Carranza Villa estrangement has
reached breaking point, they asserted
in that the constitutionalist commander
in chief has declined to allow Villa to
import cartridges for his men and
shells for his artillery through the port
of Tampico. This port now Is the only
entryway for munitions which the
revolutionists may use as the border
still is closed to them by the embargo
OF the United States border patrol
At Zacatecas, Villa shot away
practically all the cargo Of the Antilla
which landed at Tampico, according to
his representatives here. Carranza
men, however. declare that Villa did
not get the Antilla ammunition which
they declare Is still In Monterey.
News OF Villas return north yester-
day was received here today as
ominous by both factions here.

MEDIATION OUTLOOK Is
CONSIDERED LESS HOPEFUL

washington, June 30.-Despite con-

plans for Mexican mediation will not
fail, considerable apprehension was
shown today In official quarters. Con-
siderable significance was attached to
the fact that the mediation conference
plans to take a recess unless there Is
some definite assurance from Carranza
by tomorrow that his agents will meet
the Huerta delegates and representa-
tives Of the United States on plans for
a provisional government outlined In
the recent protocol. E..
Carranza's latest reply to the media
tors, asking for time to consult his gen.
erals who participated in the plans of
Guadalupe before agreeing to enter the
proposed peace conferences, was said
here not to have reached the mediators,
but that It probably would get to Nj
agara Falls by tomorrow morning.
Louis Cabrera, one Of Carranza's
agents here said today he believed the
general would yield to the wishes Of the
United States and the invitation OF the
mediators, after he had consulted with
his chiefs
Continued reports of the widening OF
the breach between Villa and Carran-
"a, however, have served to disturb Of
ficials here. Alfredo Breceda, personal
representative of Carranza here, after q
conference today with Cabrera, sent a
telegram to the chief, asking for def
mite word about the mediator confer
ence as soon as possible.
