Following the announcement from
Mexico City that Carranza's generals
will not consent TO his resignation as
first chief Of the Constitutionalists,
General Francisco Villa to-day resumed
.active preparations for campaign
against Mexico City. The conference
at ACuaS CaliCuteS, lt held AT all, VIII
not change the state Of affairs. This IS
admitted 10y Villa men.
At that conference Carranza would
have majority Of generals attending
and they would vote as CarranZa in
structed them. Villa representatives
say. Il j.. doubtful now If Villa VIII
permit any Of his generals to attend
the Aguas CalentcS meeting.
From Chihuahua to-day came advlces
that Villa has given up all hope OF
averting war with CarranZa, and that
he has feared all along that Carranza
would insist upon his generals refus-
ing his resignation. As quickly as the
men and ammunition can be loaded on
trains q. Torreon they will be sent
south by Villa. IL is said in Chihuahua
inst an AlIdNh on AbHNtiNN wiz nc
made by Villa with detachment OF
his army, but that the main army will
move rapidly 70 the south.
General Naclovio Herrera, who re

supply train at Jiminez. The train was

Herrera Villa, who spent Saturday in
Jiminez. endeavored 10 get It returned,
but failed. Villa also failed in his ef-
fort TO win Herrera back to his cause,
and now counts his former cavalry
leader a. one OF his enemies who must
be crushed.
Villas friends in chihuahua and on
the border have urged him to adopt
more aggressive policy IN dealing with
Carranza. They fear that temporlzing
with the Csrranza faction has weak
cned Villas influence in his army and
has made his generals discontented.
The sentiment Of the army leaders is
almost unanimous for an immediate
resumption Of hostilitics. Efforts still

crs and. ID is claimed. by United States
representatives, 10 induce Villa to wait
until Carranza can be dealt with by
them before beginning active warfare.
but little hope is entertained for sue
cess.
Hundreds Of recruits, many Of them
former Federal soldiers, have been Sc
cured along the border for Villa, and
have been sent south within the last
twenty-four hours All are being
equipped for immediate army service.
Villa men say his iigi ting force, even
without lIcrrcra's cavalry, is more than
forty thousand.
