Effort to Get Factions
Together.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14-General

last word in the way of a friendly
suggestion for peace again in Mexico.

livered to him today at Vera Cruz.
Upon his action alone. officials ad-
mitted, largely depends their hope
for a conference which may result
in re-establishing orderly government
south of the Rio Grande.
While the first chiefs defiant, un-
compromising. almost belligerent,
attitude has not made officialdom
over optimistic, the administration
still thinks there is a chance he will
prove responsive to its overtures.
The next move expected from him is
a counter-proposal which may be the
entering wedge for negotiations lead
ing to an agreement between the
factions
The Pan-American appeal was sent
in Spanish directly to Carranza, Villa
and Zapata. Other copies, in English
and Spanish, are being forwarded to
governors of all Mexican States, mill
tary and civil authorities and diplo-
matte Representatives of all countries
in Mexico.
Reports that several European gov
ernments with considerable property
interests in Mexico have been sounded
out were confirmed today. While the
European nations have taken no Off
cial part In the negotiations, it was
| stated that they offered no objections
and, if success results, will file claims
with any new government established
! for property losses.
The full text of the appeal to the
Mexican factions to adjust their diff
| ferences will be made public tomor-
row morning. the state department

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-General
Carranza summarily dismissed the
mayor of Vera Cruz from office for
permitting the recent anti-foreign
demonstrations which aroused appre-
henson of the American government.
Official notification of General Car
ranza's action reached here today.
LAREDO, Tex, Aug. IA party
of eight Mexieans under a leader
named Cabrera has appeared between
Zapata and Rio Grande City, ninety
miles below Laredo, on the Texas
side. A detachment of the Fourteenth
Cavalry is stationed at Zapata and,
with the aid of citizens, is preparing
to resist the bandits if they reach
that point News of this was dis
patched here from Zapata today.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Aug. a.
Carranza modestly plans to reconquer

Manuel Rincones, the man who
made this statement to Sheriff Vann,
of Cameron county, and Captain An
derson, of the Twelfth Infantry, says
that about half the gang of fifty
bandits who attacked Norias last
Sunday came from Mexico.
"The attack on Norias," he stated,
was for the purpose of getting tools
with which to remove a rail and
wreck train. The object in heading
for the Rio Grande was to secure re-

feared that general uprising will
take place in this section if Unhed
States marines land in Vera Cruz.
Governor Ferguson stated at Rock
port today that the border situation
had improved to such an extent that
he would not call out the State
