JUAREZ. Mexico. April despite
expressions OF washington's unofficial
dtspleasure at the expulsion OF the
spanish colony from Torreon. the pur-
pose OF the Rebel leaders in this re
gard was mistaken today. II Is learned
from an authoritative Rebel source
that General. Carranza and General
Villa are in thorough accord on the
subject that the Spanish subjects
through the republic. as fast as other
states may fall into Constitutionalist
hands. will be treated exactly as at
Toreron and chihuahua.
George c. Carothers is known &c
have had an interview with General
Carranza on the spanish question TO
day. The American. rested from his
recent experiences at the battle OF
Torreon. and the first chief of the rev
olution We're plainly visible in the lat
ter's orice by visitors who waited in
the corridors OF the customs house
here. Their heads were close together
for half hour
When Carothers emerged he was be
sieged by anxious inquiries. but he
rushed TO his automobile without an
swering questions. shaking his head
negatively.
Leaked Out.
The purport of the conference
leaked out this afternoon through
sources which hitherto have proved
reliable. II was said Carothers in
formed CarranZa that the summary
expulsion of the Spaniards was
viewed gravely at Madrid and with
out favor at Washington. The gen
eral replied that evidence OF Spanish
conspiracy against the revolution was
overwhelming in all parts Of the
country. and that their expulsion was
not only just but the part Of wisdom.
lie pointed out that popular sus-
picion against these foreigners was
so general and deep seated that their
expulsion at least would remove them
from danger at the hands of an in
censed soldiery. The troops gener-
ally are well under discipline. he ex-
planned. but individual exceptions
were TO be considered.
