 Mexico City July 22.-Prospects for peace grew brighter today with the an nouncement from Carranza sources In the capital that negotiations for the transfer of the government to the consttutionalists were proceeding favorably.
 The same hopeful view was taken by federal officials, and 1t is understood General Carranza has agreed to a general amnesty the chief point for which pro- vislonal President Francisco carbajal has been contendng.
 The BOO men in the advance guard or General Alvaro obregons 5000 constitu- tionalists are at Tula, an hours ride from the capital, and the remainder of this army is near Queretaro, TO miles to the north, where it is assembling for a peace ful advance on Mexico City
 General Obregon, staneh supporter of General venustano Carranza, proh- ably will be the first constitutionalist commander to arrive here and his force is believed to be sufficient to Insure the capital against internal disorder or at i taclSs by bandits now active in the south Huerta Congress Disbanded l The impression prevails here that The l H Ierta Congress will not meet aeaii and the next session in the Cbanlber of Deputies will be that of the members of the Madero Congress dissolved by | Huerta last October
 A majority Of the Madero congressman are here awaiting the sanction of Gen eral Carranza 10 reassemble and elect provisional President to succeed GarbaJa and hold office until general election. Dissolution of the Husrtal Congress Is considered unnecessary as the term of office of the Madero congressman will
 not terminate until September 16 next It is probable the old Congress will proceed as though it's deliberations never had been interrupted.
 In spite of fighting during the asr few days between the federals. supported by the capital police, and the rebel bands which have been attacking the small towns just south of Mexico City, the capital apparently is undlsturhed, Thea tres and cafes are thronged and the streets crowded. Banks are open and building operations are going on uninter- ruptedly. Citizens appear to feel confl- dent that the revolution is over and that the transfer of authority merely is question of detail
 Huerta's Last Message Huerta's last act before he embarked at Puerto Mexico yesterday tended to strengthen this feeling. The former die tator telegraphed to the governors of the various states under federal control iging them to recognize provisional President Carbajal and to give him every aid in terminating bloodshed. This ad- vice will be followed generally. it Is be- lieved
 Part of the famous Twenty-ninth regi- ment, which escorted Huerta to the coast, returned to the capital today, setting at rest many wild rumors as to what course that organization would follow, It was announced officially the remainder of the regiment would arrive late today. Garcia Naranio, the last member of the hiuerta cabinet to leave. started for Vera Cruz today. bound for New York

|AGEE AND WHITE ! TALK ID GOVERNOR
Neither Discuss Nature of Business Which Brought
 Them to Capital


 Montgomery, July tspeeial.)-.w. C. 5eee, chairiiian of tfe' excise commission of Jefferson county, and Frank S. White, Jr., prominent young attorney of Bir- mingham. came to Montgomery today and had a short conference with the governor, Neither Chairman Agee nor MT. White would discuss the nature of the business which brought them to the Capital city.
 MT Agee refused to discuss with news paper men the rumor 10 the effect that he may apply for re-appointment on the Jefferson county exciAs commission. He declared that he had the question under consideration, but that he had not reached any decision in regard to the matter.
 ''I have not yet decided what l shall do." Chairman Agee told the Age-Her- aid correspondent, just before he left on the night train for Birming ham, At present I prefer not to discuss the sit uaton. may not decide upon any def mite course of action for several days.'
 After returning from Montgomery last night where he consulted with the governor in regard to his position as chairman of the excise commission of
 
 to make statement. As Is known. 1t has been reported that he contemplated lrcsigning from his present post
 T do not think. said MT. Agee to reporter of The Age Herald. that am called upon to make statement. l did not authorize any report which has been published in any newspaper. and do not know where the newspa- : pcrs acquired the information which they published"
 It is known. however. that Mir. Agee talked with the governor for half an hour or more In reference to the local situation. It is said that nothing of a character was agreed upon. one report has it that MT. Agee will re- sign and another has 1t that he will not be an applicant for reappointment when his term expires In September.
 In the absence of a definite state nlent from Mir. Agee or the governor, 1t Is probable that there will be con- siderable speculation for sometime.

ID BEGIN SUIT ID DISSOLVE
 THE NEW HAVEN
Not Only Will Institute Civil Action, But Criminal As poets Will Be Aired
 by Grand Jury

Washington, July Preparations for filing of the governments long delayed suit to dissolve the New Haven railroad system. in. accordance with President Wilson's instructions were being made today by the department of justice.
 In letter to Attorney General Me Reynolds, the President not only directed that civil action be instituted against the New Haven. but ordered that the criminal aspects of the case be laid before federal grand jury.
 Decision to proceed against the New Haven ended efforts to solve the case without litigation.
 The President and his cabinet had dis cussed the case and the course of the department of justice was approved. The civil suit was to be filed against the New Haven in the United States court at New York immediately. where a grand jury also was to be summoned Esvi- deace was to be laid before 1t on which he asked criminal indictments against officers and directors of the New Haven under the management of former Presf- dent Charles s. Mellen.
 T, w. Gregory, special assistant in charge of the case, was to have full charge of the civil suit. and before the grand jury was to have the aid of F. NJ Swacker an interstate commerce com mission expert. who assisted him in pre- pairing the evidence.
 How many indictments were to be sought had not been divulged early to- day, hut correspondence made public plainly indicated that MT. McReynolds expected to ask fol a bili against Mir. Mellcn.
 The most significant fact in connection with the proceedings was said to be a statement made public by MT. Mickey mold several months ago when the in- tcrstate commerce commission began its New Haven investigation in which he warned the commission to consider whether immunity might be given to certain men if made to testify as to their actions as directors of the road. | The names he mentioned were: Charles S. Mellen, William Rockefeller, George Maculloch Miller Charles F. Brooker, Edward Mtlnef, Lewis CAss Ledyard. George F. Baker and Edward D. Rob- bins. .a
