FROM MEXICO
Delayed Dispatches Verify Car.
ranza's Resignation.
NEW RULER AGREES TO PROPOS.
ED TERMS
Believed That Carranza and Villa
VIII be Asked to Remain In COun-
try for Patriotic Services.


Washington, Nov. II ~ Delayed dis
patches received today from American
consular agents at Aguas Calientes
and Mexico City confirmed earlier re-
ports that General Carranza had
agreed to resign provided General
Villa similarly retired
General Gutierrez, provisional presi-
dent by authority of the convention
at Aguas Calientes and close friend of
villa, has approved Carranza's condi-
tions and tonight it seemed that un-
less Villa himself upset the arrange
ment, peace in Mexico was assured.
Carranza's Conditions
General CarranZa's proposal which
was accepted by Gutierrez, provided
that the first chief would deliver the
executive power ON the following con-
ditions:
'First-General Carranza would re-
hnquish his command in the constitu-
tionalist army to General Pablo Con
zales, commander of the division Of
the east.
"Second-General Villa would retire
as commander of the division of the
north, placing his troops under the
orders of General Guiterez
Third-Both Generals Villa and
Carranza should leave the country and
should give evidence of that fact by
appearing at Havana, Cuba, on or
before November 25.''
In accepting General Carranza's s con-
ditions it is presumed by the Amer
lean consular agents that General
Gutierrez spoke on behalf of and af-
ter consultation with General Villa.
The latter previously hal made pub
lie announcement that he had placed
his own destiny in the hands of GEN
eral Gutierrez and would do whatever
the latter requested No word has
come yet from George Carothers, AM
erican consular agent, accompanying
General Villa, saying what tne gener
ais plans will be.
There is some doubt in well-inform-
ed quarters here whether either Villa
or Carranza will actually leave Mex
leo. 1t is thought that the conven-
tion on reassembling will ask both
to remain out of consideration for
their services in the revolution against
Huerta.

while he had given no orders as vet
for American warships at Vera Cruz
to withdraw, they probably would be
sent away next week Immediately af-
ter General Funston's forces evacuat-
ed the port There are comparatively
few ships in Mexican waters now, but
one or two vessels of the gunboat
type probably will be kept within easy
reach of Mexican ports on the At
lantic and Pacific coasts until order
is completely restored in Mexico.
Washington, Nov 1.-THE United
States will hold the several million
dollars in customs collected at Vera
Cruz until stable government is es-
tablished in Mexico and will not turn
it over to the French bondholders.
President Wilson said the money
would be delivered to neither faction
in Mexico under the present condi- |
tfons and indicated that only a govern
ment recognized by the United States
would receive the money. He feels
that responsibility for which faction |
gets control of Vera Cruz after its
evacuation by American troops does
not rest with the United States. No
has been received of re-
ports that Villa had promised to leave
Mexico
Naco, Ariz., Nov 17.-Both the May
ortena and Hill forces resumed firing
early today and stray bullet flying I
over the American border, struck Mrs.
A. F. Krohn, wife Of Southern Pa
cHic official, in the head. The wound
is not serious.
Mrs. Krohn and her husband mad
abandoned their residence near the
United States custom house last Fri
day, after 1t had been struck by a
Tying shell case from the Mexican
side. She was hit today by bullet
that penetrated the family's tempor-
ary quarters in the northern portion
0f town.
The wounding of Mrs. Krohn was
he eleventh casualty among non-com-

began fighting around Naco, Sonora
