Four Men Are Fighting for the
Control of Mexico.
Peace Convention Breaks Up
and Delegates Have Fled.

ent plight is more serious than during
any revolution since Porfirio Diax's
reign. With at least four strong lead
ers at odds and large territory under
control of each, continued civil war is
the only prospect.
General Martin Estinoza gave this
view of the situation here today on his
arrival here from Mexico City. where
fora day he presided over the Villa
Zapata-Gutierrez convention. Estinoza
had been allowed to proceed through
the Carranzista lines at Monterey, he
said. and over so delegates who had fled
Mexico City with him had been grant,
ed amnesty by General Pablo Gonzales,
the constitutionalist commander at
Monterey.
Life was unbearable in the capital,
said Estinoza- The convention Is a
farce. Zapata controlled it with q
force Of armed men. Villa and Ange-
les when they come to Mexico City are
constantly under surveillance OF Ia
patistas Provisional President Gu
tierrez was under constant espionage
also. The break between Villa and
Zapata, declared Estinoza. dated from
the assassination of Pauline Martinez.

late President Madero but Zapata
would have spared him.
Among the prominent Villista and
Zapata delegates who quit the conven-
ton and escaped to Monterey were
General Vito Allessio Robes and his
brother Miguel. Both offered their
services to the constitutionalist cause
under General Gonzales. Vito Robes
was Villas secretary at the Aguas
