Interest in Insurgent Victories.

With hope for mediation in the internal
affairs of Mexico practically abandoned,
interest is keen here today in the con-
tinued victorious march of the constitu-
tionalist army on the Mexican capital
Gen. Oregon, who led the latest rev.
dictionary triumph in capturing Qua
dala jara. the second largest city in the
war-worn republic. asserted in his official
dispatches that few of his men had
been killed or wounded. Official con-
stitutionalist reports from FL Paso
there that losses have been numerous
on both sides
From Guadalajara. Obregon intends to
hurl his troops against Mexico CITY
Doubt was expressed whether the army
would be given any rest before the be
ginning of the crucial assault OF the
revolution. Needed ammunition i'm
mediately would be supplied 1t was SAID
Railroad facilities for the movement
from C;uadalaiar to Mexico City, a dis
lance of about $40 miles. We're adequate,
consritutionalist agents in Washington
declared although resistance by federals
at some points on the route was antlci-
pated.
Villas Part in Campaign Uncertain.
How Villa. the revolutionary general
who achieved such brilliant successes IN
the northern military campaign, would
figure in the movement against Mexico
City was matter of much speculation
here today. His troops. which had aided
in the capture of Zacatecas, stu were
proceeding northward into Chihuahua If
| Obregon moved upon Huerta's capital i'm
mediatelv, 1t appeared doubtful whether
the northern forces would figure in the
preliminary fighting There was pos
ell
south later. particularly in view OF asser-
lions that differences between Villa and
Carranza had been composed.
/ Official confirmation from Carranza that
! the constitutionalist general declined to
| send delegates to meet the representa-
tives of Huerta to discuss the establish
ment of a provisional government is ex-
| pected here today.
Villa Opposed Conference.
| Contrary to the assertions made here
| by constitutionalist agents as We'll as
| government officials that Villa favored
such a conference, 1t is learned t1rough
| a dispatch from the rebel field leader
himself that his emphatic protest against
| such a course did much to prevent such
| adjustment of Mexican affairs Villa pro-
tested that the only place to meet Huerta
or his adherents was on the battlefield
