an infantry division with instructions tc
protect the foreign legations. Villa or
dered Angeles to the capital when the
latter returned to Tula after having
captured Guadalajara, but dispatches
early yesterday say that Villa himself
has not yet decided to enter Mexico
City.
The Zapata forces in Mexico City sent
special train and a delegation to Tula
! Sunday to escort Villa to the capital.
| Their plans called for his triumphal en-
| try into the city yesterday, but for some
| reason the northern leader delayed his
departure. 1t was reported among Vii
lista officials at Juarez yesterday that
Villa, instead of entering the capital
may decide to move at once against Cen
eral Pablo Gonzales who is reported TO
have repudiated both Carranza and the
Aguascalientes convention and to have
declared himself provisional president of
Mexico.
The Aguascalientes convention is tax
ing no chances with Zapata, it was
learned yesterday. Gertrudis Sanchez, a
Villa leader, has been appointed to com
