..arendo, Tex, June %. - Fifteen
generals Of the Constitutionalist army,
commanding a combined force esti-
mated at 10000 mel re%nOunced Gen
eral CarranZa as first chief of the
Constituencies movement in a
note sent to his headquarters at the
time General Villa resigned. Villa,
however, did not sign the communica-
ton. This and other details, suppress
ed by a rigid censorship at Saltillo be-
came known at the border with the
arrival Of travellers from Saltillo and
Monterey.
Subject Only to Villa.
The communication, it was authori-
tatively said, informed the man who
has been the leader of the Constitu-
tionalist movement since it's inception
that the generals would continue to
fight against Huerta, but would hold
themselves subject only to General
Villas orders and would not recognize
CarranZa.
Before the travellers left Saltillo the
breach had not been healed by the
compromises since announced and
leaders in the Constitutionalist move
ment, fearing disintegratiOn of the
force which they had built up had
summoned every available man OF in
fiuence to bring the factions together.
Some doubt Of the effect of the dis
Sension on the course of the Constitu-
tiOnalist movement was expressed by
men closely in touch with revolution
airy affairs in Northern Mexico, even
though the breach apparently is heal
ed and both sides have agreed to con-
tinue against a common enemy.
The plan Of Guadalupe, on which
the Constitutionalist campaigns have
been based, provides that the first
chief of the Constitutionalist army
shall remain at the head Of the move
ment as provisional president after
Huerta has been eliminated and until
an election has been held and the re-
suit voiced. Hitherto Carranza has
been undisputed first chief.
To Ignore incident.
What effect on the future of the
movement the fact that the command
ing officers of the largest and most
powerful single unit of that army
have denied him that title and au-
thority will have cannot yet be learn
ed, according to the travellers. They
said the CarranZa forces apparently
planned to go ahead as though the
incident eve had happened.
Pablo Gonzales, it is said, will at
tack San Luis Potosi Immediately
while Villa is taking Zacatecas and
then o southwark according to the
original plan with Villa advancing
from the center and Obregon from the
west.
Eagle Pass.-The naming of a Con.
s~titutionalist cabinet by General Car
rama is eagerly awaited by Constitu-
tionalists as a possible means of heal
ing the breach between General Car
rama and General Villa, according
Monterey. There was q general i'm
preston at those points, according to
the travellers. that General Carranza
would name his official family within
two or three days.
A hurried call, it is said, has been
sent out from Carranza's headquarters
for representative men. thoroughly
c%onversant with the undercurrent Of
Constituencies politics, to come to
Saltillo to confer concerning cabinet
choices. 1t is we'll known, according

opposition has arisen ON the part of
Villa and his friends to certain men
close to Carranza.
