ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ASSOCIATED PRESS DlSPATCHI Fl. PASO. June 11.-AgentS and supporters of the constitutionalists here are jubilant over the sudden turn of affairs at Niagara Falls. From all sides is expressed reit- eration of confidence in the friendli . ness of the Washington administra- ton toward the Mexican revolution ary party.
 Prominent constituencies gave the opinion that despite the partici patton in the conference of the Huerta delegates and the absence of any spokesman for the Carranza fac tion, the latter has succeeded by si lence in securing the advantage. It was predicted that the disagreement of the parties at the Niagara Falls conference would hasten Carranza's $ 'eply to the proposition of the medi- ators.
 Traffic trouble with the telegraph is no longer given as an excuse for l Carranza's delay, as communication has been established between Saltil- To and various Texas border ports
 
 south regarding the attack on Zaca- tecas, and the investment of San i Luis Potosi.
 It was stated, however, that Gen. e'al Parilo Natera, recently appoint cd commander of the new central | military zone, was in complete com l mand of the 'Zacatecas attack. | General Villa, commander of the northern military zone, remained at Torreon, viewing Nateras efforts from distance.
 | CarranZa in the meantime is giV- ing his attention at Saltillo, far to the east, to organizing his civil gov e'nment and attending to the mat ters brought by the Niagara confer ence.
 ] The situation in Sonora occasion ed by the factional troubles between the military and civil state govern ments, was credited as having caus ed the hurried trip to Nogales of fgnacio Bonilla, Carranzas acting 1 secretary of communications. MT. l Bonillas passed through here tonight from Saltillo, on his way to Nogales where he resides

Car 1 others, special representative of the | department of state was ordered to proceed directly to Saltillo from l Torreon. Carothers, who is consular 1 agent at TOrreon, for several weeks has been representing the state de- partment while accompanying Villa. | The order for Carothers' transfer l rom Villas to Carranzas s headauar- ters is taken here as indicating tha, the administration at Washington desired to begin q series of direct negotiations with the constitutional lst commander, in spite of Carran "a failure to enter the Niagara rails conference with Huerta dele gates
