Washington, Nov. 21.-General Vii
las march on Mexico City continues
unobstructed according to official tele
grams from American consular agents
who accompany him. Two Thousand
Carranza troops changed their allegi
ance to Villa at Leon, the dispatche,
said, and garrisons all along the line
are incorporating themselves in the
Villa columns.
Success Is Looked For.
That Villa will reach Mexico City
without difficulty is the opinion of the
American agents, who say his army is
we'll equipped and moving with scien
tific precision. From Carranza sourc
es, however, it is stated that Villa will
have to clash in few days with the
troops of Generals Obregon and Con
zales near Queretaro.

uncertainty with which the situation

whether General Obregon will be able

Word From Carranza.
Rafael Zubaran Capmany, Washing
ton representative of General Carran-
"a, gave out the following telegram
received from Carranza, dated Cordo-
ba, Wednesday, and reviewing Car
ranza's side of the controversy:
Cordoba, Mex, Nov. IS, 1914.
"Mr. Zubaran, Washington, D. c.:
with the purpose that you may be
clearly and trustworthy informed as
to the conditions and be in a position
to deny emphatically all rumors, wish
to place in your hands all of the de-
tails of the situation, beginning by CIV
ing you the conditions that | was will
ing to resign, as I expressed them in a
message to General Gonzales on the
18th. These points were:
Il will surrender the power in my
hands to any person whom | deem
trustworthy. as, for example, General
Pablo Gonzales. General Villa shall
forces to the administration in the
territory controlled by General Eulalio
Gutierrez. Villa and myself shall both |
leave the country and meet in Hav-
ana on Nov. %. The convention OF
generals shall convene in Mexico City |
to select a president for the entire pre-
constitutional periods. Generals Gut |
ierrez and Gonzolas shall deliver the |
command of the troops under them to
the newly selected president. On the
Goth of November, if the conditions
have not been complied with, Carranza
shall resume his character as first
chief of the constitutionalist army.
Proposition Accepted.
ITO these propositions, contained in
this statement, General Gonzales and
Obregon answered from Mexico City
that they had been accepted in full at
Aguas Calientes. In effect, that was,
that Villa and myself were to leave the
country, the former to surrender the
command of the division of the north
and l the first chieftainship of the
Constitutional army, as well as the
executive power of the nation to the
person indicated in my letter. and ulti-
mately this person, as we'll as General
Gutierrez, would deliver their powers
to whoever should be selected the
unconstitutional president of Mexico.
Accordingly, it is false, as the press
Of the United States reports, that /
had been given "a hours within which
to surrender my office.
