CARRANZA WON'T
SEEK MEXICO CITY
Has No Immediate Intention OF
Returning, He Says-Vera
Cruz in Sad State.

Galveston, May ia statement OF
some of Carranza's military plans,
coming from Carranza himself, was
given out here to-day by an American
who has just returned from Vera Cruz.
General Carranza himself frankly
saws he mas no immediate intention
Of returning 10 Mexico City, notwith-
standing the effect of the return might
have among other nations. Carranza' 5
reasons for this are: That the people
of Mexico City are antagonist!c to
him; that the city would require a
large garrison, which necessarily would
take thousands of his soldiers from
active field work; that Mexico City
has no military advantage; that at
Vera Cruz supplies are available from
foreign countries and communication
with the outside world cannot be in
terrupted."
Evidence Of distressing economic
conditions throughout Mexico Is be-
ginning to show in Vera Cruz. accord
ing TO passengers arriving here from
Vera Cruz.
The influx Of persons from the In
terror, augmented by the increased gar
rison, has swelled the normal popu-
lation of $4,000 to more than 100000
The feeding Of so many people, the
overtaxing of the water system and
inadequate sanitation are giving Gen
eral Carranza as much concern as his
efforts to push Villa back in the North
