VILLA SUSPICIOUS
OF CARRANZA STILL
Leader Now on His Way to
Juarez, Accompanied by
u. S. Agent CarOthers.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Juarez, Mexico, July Ito confer
with his representatives on the border,
to get in direct touch with his agents
in Washington and to arrange for food
and supplies for his army, General
Francisco Villa is coming to Jusrez. He
is reported in to-day's dispatches to
have left Torreon for the border, but
will stop a day in Chihuahua City en-
route.
The disposition Of Villas army in
the southern campaign, whether or not
he will participate in that campaign,
whether or not ne will lead in the at
tack on Mexico City, the possibility Of
a wider breach with Carranza and the
forming of new provisional govern
ment arc questions, il is claimed that
will be settled definitely when Villa
reaches Juarez.
With Villa is coming George c. Ca
rothers. representative Of the State De-
partment at Washington, who has been
with the rebel leader during his CAM
paigns and who is generally regarded
as enjoying more fully than any other
American the confidence of the MeXi-
can revolutionary leader.
Efforts TO pacify General Villa we're
made to-day by Csrranzs and his rep
resentatives, but it is said by Villas
! friends that Villa looks with suspicion
upon all overtures made by Carranza
now. The ordering of coal sent TO
Villas army with which TO move troop
trains to the south, an action taken by
Carranza to-day, comes too late, Villas
men assert. General Villa, they claim,
already has arranged for a coal supply
Satisfaction is expressed by agents of
Villa that conditions in the State Of
Chihuahua are better and more normal
than in any other portion of Mexico.
They point to the fact that chihuahua
is wholly under Villas control. To-day
the extensive woodworking plants Of
the Madero company, Pearson con-
Germ controlled by British and Cana
dian capital, resumed operations at
/ Pearson and Madero, Mexico, giving
employment TO 500 men in each town.
Mines in the Chihuahua City and Par
raj districts are resuming daily. One
4 furnace of the Chihuahua smelter is
ready to be blown in, and the big smell
ter at Torreon, owned by the Madero
family, is TO resume operations Mon
day.
In Carranza territory, notably in
Sonora, Villa sympathizers point out,
anarchy is widespread and industries
which had resumed have since closed
down.
IL is announced to-day that Villa will
not submit TO having his fiat money re-
placed with Carrsnza currency. The
transfer Of the several millions Of Car
rama money which Villa held and
which he agreed should be returned 70
Csrranza has not been completed. Five
million pesos Of the money had been
sent TO Chihuahua and Carranzs Off
eisls went there after il. II was ex-
pected that all of the Csrranzs money
would be returned 10 mis- agents to-day,
but new delay occurred, and il may
be several days before the financial
transfer finally is completed.
Villas army il resting and recuperst-
ing In MALT dozen temporary camps in
the chihuahua country and Villa is in
no hurry 20 send his men into the field
again. Many OF them still are disabled
/ from sickness and his horses are great
I ~ In need Of grass. Until both mon and
| horses are in better condition Villa has
! let il be known 10 his friends he will
! make no effort 10 move TO the south.
This IL looked upon by some TO mean
that he il still planning mis- independent
republic, although close friends u the
leader deny that any such plans are
seriously under confederation.
