ian had been on good terms with Car
| rama and that it had been Carranza's
intention to hand the Brazilian his
passports as soon as he again reoccupied
Mexico City. The participation of Brazil
and Guatemala in the pan-American
conference, they said, brought Car
ranza's resentment to a climax.
It was recalled that Castro. the die
tator of Venezuela, took much the same
action when offended by foreign ma
| lions pressing for a settlement of af-
fairs in his country.
Carranza Moving His Capital.
State Department advices today said
Gen. Carranza was making hurried
preparations to move his capital from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Archives
and clerks had been moving to the
capital since Friday.
The impression in Mexican circles
here is that Carranza proposes to es-
tablish himself in Mexico City and
probably proclaim himself provisional
president, in the face Of the pan-Amer-
lean effort to bring the factions to-
gether.
American naval commanders at Vera
shin at the disposal of the two diplo-
mats if they wish it, There are three
gunboats in that vicinity, the Wheel
Ing and Machias at Tamptco, the Mari
eta at Progreso and the Sacramento,
on which the senior officer, Commander
McNamee, has his flag, is at Vera Cruz
Different Opinions Expressed.
Charles A. Douglas, counsel here for
Carranza, said today he did not believe
the general contemplated giving the
Brazilian minister his passports.
Regardless of personal differences
that may exist between Gen. Carranza
and the Brazilian minister at Mexico
CITY," said Mr.. Douglas 1.-The necessity
of maintaining friendly relations with
the government of Brazil and the gov
eminent of the United States. particu-
larly the latter, would preclude any
overt action toward Mr.. cordosa."
Other representatives of Gen. Car
rama here, however, had no hesitancy
in saying the Bsa a,afni m minister n was
ranza. and they expected his stay in
Mexico City would be terminated.
