v,sutNGroN. Aug. 25.-Further ac-
,lo, looking 10 the adjustment OF Mex
,,o.s troubles probably will be taken by
.bo PAN American conference within a
noek. Carranza's response to the peace
o,or,ures is expected here tomorrow.
Thu, it Nll he a Nat rejection Of the
,,,,os,l hat the First Chief join in a
,0,.c convention with his enemies in
usylro, as proposed by the Pan-Ameri-
"a, conference. is generally expected.
Following the receipt of Carranza's
r.,ly. the Pan-American conference will
re~asscmhle and decide upon the next step
., he taken toward the pacifcation Of
Mexico. IL the present plan mapped
.arly in August is carried out, he
limited states and the six other repub-
lies concerned will take steps to pre-
vent Carranza from getting arms and
ammunition while the other factions
a,e organizing with a view to the es-
adjustment of a provisional govern
ment.
C~arranzistas in Washington still en-
,sr,ain the hope. despite the avowed
Y NJ 49,
nurpose of the American confer
ence. that the Government headed by
the First Chief will be ultimately rec
ognized.
Looking for Aid IN Europe.
II became known that Carranza Is
now sounding the European Powers with
a view TO enlisting their support for
the so-called Constitutional Government.
Charles A. Douglass, Washington u
sci for Carranza. had a long conference
with the British Ambassador. 1t Is
understood that he did not get much
Encouragement.
Eliseo Arredonda, the Carranza agent
in this city. sent n message to the First
Chief to-day asking for a report on
actual conditions in Mexico city. This
was prompted by advices received at the
Rad Cross headquarters that the popu-
lace of Mexico city continues to suffer
and that there are at east twenty-five
deaths a day due to starvation. The
CArranza agent insists that h picture
of distress In Mexico city has been over
drawn and he has given assurances that
he will make public an authentic report
from C~arranza IN a day or so, tending to
show that since the reoccupation of the
capital by Gen. Gonzales relief sup
Plies have been distributed there In
abundance.
The Cirranza agent made public the
response made to the Pan-American
'eace conference by Gen. Rinaldo Cara,
commanding the Constitutionalist forces
at L~ainpazos. Garza's reply is In ac-
cordance with responses made by other
leaders who acknowledge the chteftain-
snip Of Carranza.
Leaves II to C~nrrHnKH..
CARA states that he is a subordinate
Of Carranza and that Carranza must
make reply for all those associated with
The Constituencies Government.
THE proper channel Cor such a COM
munication." Gen. Cara wrote, could
and should have been only through the
First Chief or through the Minister of
Wal of the Constitutionalist Govern
ment'
Enrique c. Llorente. Villas confiden-
tai agent in Washington, win soon leave
for Mexico to confer with Gen, Villa ION
matters pertaining to the diplomatic SER
vice In Mr.. Llorents's absence Villas
interests here will be, cared for by Man
uel Bouilla. who was a membe of Ma
dero's cabinet. II is the understanding
that Llorente win TAX up with villa
questions concerning the peace convep-
ton plan.
The villa agent denied to-day the
charge circulated by Carranzistas that
Villa hat been defeated at 'rorreon and
that his forces had been broken up into
guerrilla bands.
Such statements" said Mr.. Llorente,
are particularly ridiculous at this time,
when Gen. Villa is concentrating a large
army In Torreon to begin a new Of
ftnsiye movement against the Carran-
