Conditions in Republic Are Again Chaotic, Caperton
 Practical Dictator.
ELECTION SET FOR
 TODAY IS POSTPONED
CabO Bands, Who Fight for Money, Must Be Broken Up Before Peace Can Be Established, Reports Ad-
 miral to Navy Department.

Washington, August 7.-Re ports to the navy department today indi- cate that conditions in Haiti arg again chaotic, and Admiral Caperton has been forced to establish a prac- tjcal dictatorship over the island.
 Revolutionary factions are still &C., tive and resent the efforts of the American forces to restore peace. Two additional Haytien soldiers have been killed, while resisting an at tempt to disarr them.
 Amiral Caperton reported that the election of new president, which was to have been held tomorrow, has been postponed. It is understood Capterton ordered the election defer- red until condit ions become more nearly normal.
 The Tennessee, with $50 marines aboard, is expected to reach Hayti by next Wednesday or thursday. The Am erican forces on the island will then number approximately 5000 and navy department officials believe order may be maintained with such force.
 Admiral Capterton made no re- port on the capture of the custom house at Port Au Prince, as told in press dispatchts. He said in his communication to Admiral Benson, acting secretary of the navy, that the Americans met with some resist ence when they, disarmed Q small force of Haitiens and were forced to co1d ed, but no Americans were injured.
 Admiral Benson said he did not be- lieve more marines would be needed after the arrival of the Tennessee next week.
 Haitiens PrOtest.
 Drs. Menos, the Haitien minister here, is understood to have filed With the state department today protest against the activities of the Amerl- can troops in Haiti and their occupa- ton of the capital. The Haitien min ister acted on complaint received from the president of the Haitien senate. The protest cabled here, it is reported, challenges the right of the United States to establish what amounts to military dictatorship in Haiti or to influence the choice of a president of the revolution-torn republic.
 Admiral Caperton reports the selz- ure of a considerable amount of arms and ammunition, but it is known that more war supplies are held through out the island.
 Admiral Caperton says the princi- pal trouble lies in the Cabo bands, who are mercenaries and fight for the highest bidder. These bands must be broken up, Admiral Caperton re- ports, before there can be permanent peace

BORDER CONDITIONS
 BAD, SAYS FUNSTON
Killing of Texans by Mexican Bandits Creates Serious Situation, and Oiii- Cers Told to Call for More Troops
 at Least Sign of Trouble.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Gener1l Car ranza mas informed the state depart ment that he is willing to confer wi II pres natives of Gener3ls Vll- Ia aad Iapata, on the subject of es- tlbishing peace in Mexico, and that h, will guarantee safe conduct to the envoys of the other leaders. wher- ever the conference is arranged.
 He has informed this government, however, tlat he will not participate in convention such as was held at Aguas Calientes, where the ques- ticns at issue were put to a vote. As Carranza has expressed it to the de- partment, he has not intention of "matcling votes with Villa and Za pata."
 At the same time, Carranza has told this government that he will make formal application for recog milton by the United States as soon as he establishes his government in Mexico City, which will probably be within the next few days. From these declarations, the state department interprets CarranZa's at titude as being that he is willing to talk peace with Villa and Napata but that peace cannot be arranged un- | til his supremacy is recognized Carranza's Plan Not Acceptable. lsecrettary of State Lansing indi- eatel today that he does not consid- CT the offer of Carranza sufficiently broad to cover the plan, that this government believes is necessary ir order to permanently settle the 'Mexi- can problem.
 The secretary has made plain the view of this government on the sub- pect, which is that Zapata, Carran ga and Villa each control certain ter ritory and each must participate in any new government, if it is to be l permanent.
 | Interpreted in it's relation to every other circumstance, this means tha | the United states will insist that Car ! ranza rreet with Villa and Zapata on common ground and give them a voice in the settlcmsnt of MexicO's affairs.
 General Funston reported to the war department today that serious conditions prevail along the border as the result of the killing of two Americans by Mexican raiders yes terday near Sebastian, Texas. The American troops are-in hot pursuit o1 the raiders. Strong patrols are GOV ering the entire section and all the bridges are heavily guarded. Off cers in command have been instruct ed to call for more troops at the least sign of trouble.
 Secretary Lansing and Acting Sec retary of War Breckinridge confer red today on the situation on the Dor. der.

 hurling thousands of men. The Rus sans, in their retreat. left behind 1 14,200 prisoners, six cannon and 69 l machine guns.
 It is believed in London that they are falling back to new line. and have not been routed. Military ex-
 perts point to the fact that this line held for more than three days after the equalization of Warsaw, as evil dence for the belief.
