TROOPS QUELL REFUGEES
GENERAL MURRAY, IN INTER- VIEW, DECLARES INTERVIEW TON WOULD BE OF NO USE, AND GUERRILLA WARFARE WILL
 BE CONTINUED INDEFINITELY.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March IS. -Advices received here from Mext co are to the effect that there has been a break between the rebel leaders Carranza and Villa and it is believed that unless some way is found to bring the two generals together the split in revolutionary forces will seriously interfere with possible success of their cause in the future
 General CarranZa, who has been ene recognized head of the Mexican revolution since the murder of Ma dero, is opposed. it is understood 10 the attitude of Villa in regard to the latters refusal to give up the custody of the body of Benton, the murdered Scotchman.
 From the first, Carranza has been friendly to the United States and to other foreign interests, and in this he has differed materially from Vll- la, though the latter, until now, has recognized Carranza as the head of the revolutionary forces.
 Without cooperation between the two rebel leaders, 1t is believed here that Huerta will never be over f~r ,t ;c to6 will end by fighting between them selves. Even if the rebels should be successful in their war against Huerta, another war of the same nature would be sure to be waged unless the two generals come 10 some harmonious agreement.
 The reported break between Car Eanza and villa Is interesting the President and his cabinet. but no official statement concerning 1t has been made.

 When taken into custody some of Ae refugees confessed that 1t had been planned to cross the border and make the attack on Juarez. and that the plot would have been put into effect if the arms had not been discovered.

 The outlook in Mexico Is any thing but encouraging said General Murray, for whatever is done there there are bound to be years of strife of some sort.
