another at neaTDy lO"n aTO to point out that unless this method of 1eprisals was stopped, the world at 1 large would be shocked that con- tinuation of the policy of executing

 Carranza Latest Decree. Carranza's s latest decree concerning foreign diplomatic representatives 1 was revealed yesterday in telegram from Rafael zubaran Capmany, min ister of the interior, to Elseo Ar redondo, local representative of Car ranza. It said:
 The first chief of the constitu- tionalist army has been apprised of frequent cases in which persons of di- verse nationalities, styling themselves confidential or consular agents of foreign governments, without really being so, and other persons styling themselves representatives of foreign colonies or large foreign interests es tablished in Mexico, pretend to make representations, address communica tions and treat directly about matters of an international character with different leaders of the constitution alist army.
 This action, even in cases where it is taken by persons actually ac- credited, tends to disrupt the unity which should prevail in the constitu- tionalist government and to belittle the authority of the first chief of the aforesaid army, provoking disorder and lack of cohesion in governmental decisions, with much danger for our cause The defection of General Francisco Villa and other leaders of the northern division, involves a pain full experience which we must bear in mind to avoid in the future the lack of political discipline of inexperienced leaders It IS the unavoidable pur- pose of this government to comply with it's international duties, afford ing just protection under the laws to all foreign persons and interests, and this can only be done properly through the appropriate authorities
 Military leaders before whom such representations may be made must confine themselves to informing the representatives of foreigners that they should take such matters up directly  tionalist army

 Anrique c. Llorente, Washington representative of General Villa, gave out the following message from the latter, dated yesterday and received last night, describing the capture of Gaudala jara, second largest city in Mexico:
 We made a truly triumphal entry into this beautiful city today. The enthusiasm which prevailed when I passed through the streets, accom- panied by only an escort, was inde- scribable. The enthusiasm reached it's maximum when I addressed the people from the balcony of the gov ernment palace. proof of the high character of the people is that during the thirty hours during which the city was without authorities there were no disorders.
 "I am pursuing the enemy, who has been engaged again at Bajacuaran, killing 120 and capturing 200 horses and mules, many cannon and one ma chine gun. The pursuit is being main tained vigorously and I have learned that the Carranzistas are fleeing in the direction of Zapotlan.
 ''In the state of San Luis PotOsi, near Ciudad del Maiz, a battalion un- der Colonel Emiliano Serra bia, of our forces, defeated 2,000 men under Gen. eral Acosta.
 "The attempted capture of Mon terey by the Carranza troops has failed utterly. They were commanded by Generals Herrera, Pablo Gonzales and ..ltonio Nilareal."
