Marines Landing.

W. WAS1IN'I@M a1di y,n,.,ion" rumO corr,nro.
original leader Of the Mexican con-
stitutionaHst movement, is face TO face
with situation that may eliminate
him as factor in Mexican politics
unless he yields to the dictation Of his
commanding general, Alyaro Obrcgon,
and other high officers IN his army.
Official adviCes To-Day revealed that
four of Carran2a's cabinet ministers
had resigned and that General Obre-
gOn was insisting on their retention
as well as the dismissal Of the mem
bCrs to whom they were opposed
World also came TO the American
government that General Jose May
lorena the villa commander in
Sonora, objected vigorously to the
possible landing Of American marines
to rescue Americans in the Yaqui val
ley indicating that he would regard
such action as a hostile invasion. In
usmuch as Maytorena promised to
send troops to the region 90 protect
| foreigners, the American government,
which had decided to land marines
only If absolutely necessary, it is un-
derstOOd, will consider the incident
closed with the arrival Of the May
torena troops.
Trouble of Long Standing.
The situation I'm the Yaqu valley
was Overshadowed, however, by the
Cabineut crisis at Vera Cruz, whore Il
new angle to the entire Mexican prob
lem was created almost overnight.
| Tho dissension in the CarranZa cab
met according to official reports
from a newspaper attack by one OF
the cabinet members on some Of his
colleagues, but I'm many quarters here
! II was believed the trouble is Of long
standing, the elimination of differ
enCes between Carranza and ObrcEOn,
which began when the latter occupied
| Mexico City several weeks ago.
The fact that Obregon had tele-
| graphod Carranza insisting in reten-
| tion Of the four cabinet members
| Louis Cabrera. Rafael Zuharan,
! Escudero Nerdugo and Jesus Uerta-
the first two Of whom were in Wash
lngton for a long time as representa-
| lives of Carranza, was generally
viewed as an indication Of Obregons
aseendancy TO a position Of political
prestige in the constitutionalist move
ment.
Carranza in Danger.
News coming through official
channels that Carranza had removed
his headquarters to the old, isolated
! fortress San Juan De Ulda I'm the
harbor Of Vera Cruz, spread tho i'm
preston that he feared an uprising
against him in Vera Cruz. Ameri-
can warships lying in the harbor
would give him asylum should he
desire to escape. It was stated.
The cabinet crisis I'm Vera Cruz
ht halted the movement Of General
lt1 Al
Is not known what his sympathies
are but he has always been person
ally friendly to Carranza and IL Is
| believed here he has halted his
| troops to await developments at Vera
| Cruz General Candida Aguilar and
! several prominent Carranza chief
tains in the state of Vera Cruz are
/ in sympathy with ObreBon and while
there ls little definite information
available, the impression in official
! quarters tonight was that Obregon
| might succeed CarranZa. as first chief
Of the constituuonallst movement.
| Obregon recently lost an arm In a
| battle near Leon against the forces OF
Generals villa and Angeles
Wilson Is Anxious
lust what relation the cabinet dis
sension at Vera Cruz may have on
the possibility OF a coalition Of the
! Mexican factions tot restore peace is
! not apparent as yet to officials here
| Carran2a has returned a polite mo"
| to all overtures thus far made to
| him and the prevailing opinion here
has been that in this action he was
supported by his cabinet and Cen
eral Obregon
President Wilson is patiently
waiting for the situation in Mexico
to develop itself more clearly before
announcing his next move
The president expects TO wait a
few weeks more for the factions to
| try to get together, hut in the event
| Of failure the open active support OF
| the United States will be given to
an entirely new set OF Mexicans--a
coalition, IL Is expected, of Villa
! Zapata faction which has demon
| strated its Willingness 10 make peace
and other elements identified with
the other factions or parties.
