Washington. July 16.-The United
States today instructed John R. Sill
man, American consul at Saltillo, to
inform General Carranza that if he
arrives at peaceful agreement with
the Carajal government for the trans
fer of power at Mexico City, recogni;
ton will be extended to the resultant
administration.
Should Carranza refuse to complete
the settlement of the internal con-
flict by diplomatic means and insist
on forcible entry into Mexico City,
recognition will be deferred until
there is a legal election. American
forces, according to present plans,
will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz
untiI government is recognized.
This determination was reached by
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan after the viewpoint Of the South
American mediators was laid before
them. s
Under the terms of protocol sign
ed at Niagara Falls, the United States,
Argentina, Brazil and Chile went on
record promising recognition to the
government set up by any agreement
between the Mexican factios. To VI
between the Mexican Factions. To vi
talize that protocol the Washington
government and the mediators now
are bending their efforts.
The first moseOtowards effecting a
transfer Of government to the con-
stitutionalists already has been taken
by Provisional President Carbajal.
The three peace commissioners-on
their way to confer with Carranza or
his division commander, General OBJ
RECON, are thoroughly constitutional
ist in their political beliefs and were
conspicuous members of the Nader.
ista party They also are close per
sonal friends of Carbajal He has
sent them to confer with the consti-
tutionalist chief because he believes
they can obtain satisfactory terms
for the transition of the government
Resignation Confirmed
Washington diplomats generally re
ceiyed messages from their Legations
at Mexico City today confirming the
resignation of General Huerta- Min
lister Suarez of Chile said 1t was his
belief that Carbajal merely wanted
guarantees that the lives and property
of the people in federal territory
would be conserved through genera
amnesty proclamation. When tha'
was arranged he believed a TRANSITION
would be promptly effected.
Rafael Zubaran and Luis Cabrera
two of General Carranza's representa-
tives here, said they were unawar'
what would be the next move in tn
situation, but thought the sending 0
the Carbaial commission to confe
With Carranza would probably hav
tangible results.
Villas Attitude Questionable
The only cloud on the horizon Q
Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1914-07-16

peace in Mexico was the uncertainty
about the attitude of Genera. Villa.
Information from reliable sources is
that he is concentrating his forces in
Chihuahua and northern Mexico, so
as to make vigorous demands on Car
rama. 1t was reported that when
the conference of generals is called
at Mexico City after General Carranza
enters there, Villa adherents may at
tempt to substitute another first chief
for Carranza. Constitutionalists with
Carranza sympathies make no secret
of the fact that they are apprehensive
of Villas attitude. For that reason
they are working hard to obtain rec
ognition for Carranzas government,
so that the embargo on arms may be
sharply enforced along the border and
any counter revolution nipped in the
incipient stage.
The expectation Of the administra-
glon is that arrangements will be
made for the peaceful entry of the
constitutionalists into Mexico City in
case Carranza and his generals fin
ally refuse to accept President Carba-
jail, pending the holding of an cleo
ton.
! President Wilson believes other ma.
tions will not recognize any new gov
ernment until the United States has
Indicated its attitude. For that rea-
son he thinks that the constitutional
lists will be very careful in their pro
cedure- The president is understood
to have no objection to Carbajal ex-
cept on the score that he derived his
power from Huerta, and is willing to
accept him If the constitutionalists
will agree, as provisional, until cleo
tions.
/ White House officials we're conf
! dent today that the constitutionalists
would be temperate. in their acts
when they enter Mexico City. They
believe there is no danger of whole
sale killing or looting.
Senior Riano, the Spanish ambassa
dor, called on Secretary Bryan today

Mexico City. July 16.--When Gen
eral victoriano Huerta and a large
party of his friends, composed Of for
mer ministers of state and prominent
officials of his administration, stepped
on the special train on their flight
last night to Puerto Mexico. a strong
escort of the Twenty-ninth Mexican
federal infantry accompanied them.
This is the regiment which always
has been renowned for its loyalty to
the former dictator and which had
always formed his special guard at
the national palace.
Only a few persons were at the sta
tion to witness the departure, which
evidently had been carefully planned
A strict censorship was imposed to
day on incoming as well as outgoing
dispatches.

Carpenter then entered the ring in a
black silk gown, amid great cheering.
Carpenter was kept waiting in his
corner while Ahearnr, Matt Wells and
other fighters were introduced. Bonn

At the ringside the American con-

Round Smith got two right jabs
to the Frenchman's body. In the
first clinch, which followed soon, Car
pentier gave Smith hard short hand
drive on the cheek with left. Both
lodged right handlers. Smith gave
the Frenchman hard one on the
face with the right A right and left
body blow in mitigating were Smiths
offering. Smiths blows we're harder
than the Frenchman's, whose foot
work had not been in evidence.
Round Carpenter took the ag-
gressive but made no impression on
Smith. Each again ducked hard right
handlers from the otner. Smith land

clinch. Carpenter landed left on

round ended. His lightning quickness

Before the Frenchman arose Smith
struck him on the face. Smith was
disqualified in the sixth round. Car

blow hardly grazed him. The French

The referee decided Carpenter had

He and his seconds protested against

Washington JublIant

Washington JubIant
While President Wilson and Secre-
tary Bryan were silent after the an
nouncement of Huerta's resignation,
they were jubilant over prospects for
early adjustment of the problem that
has vexed two administrations and
threatened to plunge the United
States into foreign war
The South American mediators who
borught about the cessation of hos
tilities between the United States and
the Huerta government would con-
tinue their efforts, it was believed, to
clear the way for conferences between
the two Mexican factions, aimed at
averting the possibility of further
bloodshed. Carranza, they thought,
would gain by entering into such con
ferences, because he might by that
means, guarantee for himself immedi-
ate recognition of the Washington
and the South American governments.
Huerta's ENJOYS who took part in
the Niagara proceedings still remain
in New York at the call of the Mexi
co City government, If Carbajal should

Huerta Bound for Europe

All doubt in Washington over the
course Huerta might pursue after his
resignation was dispelled today by
the report that he. with his faithful
war minister, General Banquet, had
left Mexico City aboard train, pre-
sumably bound for Puerto Mexico.
There, it was believed he would fol-
low in the steps of Porfirio Diaz and
board a ship for Europe Huerta's
departure took place after he had
figured as the center of an impromptu
reception in a Mexico City cafe.

Huerta IN Flight
General Huerta. who remained IN
the capital some hours after his res
ignation, is in flight. probably on his
way to Puerto Mexico, to join his
family and friends who left for that
port a day earlier
General Auerlio Banquet, his min
ister of war and strong adherent, went
with Huerta when he left the city
late last night as did others OF his
close friends
Before leaving General Huerta went
to the national palace, where he con-
graduated Carbajal, who replied that
he would do al in his power for the
country's benefit.
Entire cabinet Resigns
Later President Carbajal conferred
with the subsecretaries of the diff
ferent departments, all the members
Of the Huerta cabinet having resign
ed. A new cabinet, it is expected,
will be named today.
The diplomatic corps has arranged
to make formal call on the new
president tomorrow.
A significant incident in connection
with the change of government was
the announcement that special COM

IF CONSH7UTIONALISTS CONSENT

the American lines at Vera Cruz the
Mexican soldiers probably would not
be permitted to pass through unless
they surrendered and consented to be
interned in the same way as other
federals on the border. The Ameri-
can army would not turn them back
to be executed by constitutionalists
outside Of Vera Cruz.
With Huerta's meteoric career in
Mexican politics at an end President
Wilson and his advisors today await
ed the outcome of the mission of the
three federal ENJOYS who started from
Mexico City for Celaya to arrange
with the constitutionalists for peaceful
entry into the capital
The committee consisted of three
former members of the chamber of
deputies. On what basis they hoped
to negotiate for the transition of
power was not indicated. Many dip
lomats in Washington, however
thought Francisco Carbaial, who was
sworn in as successor to Huerta,
might be disposed to accept the terms
of the plan of Guadalupe, which pro-
vided for the naming of Carranza, con-
stitutionalist chief, as provisional pres
ident, pending elections throughout
the republic.
