| WdSulHSlOu, July Il.-DlplOIudtlC
! advice reaching Washington from
Mexico City said today that General
Carranza had given notice he will not
receive communications from nor
, transact business with foreign gov
ernments having no diplomatic agents
accredited to his government at Vera
Cruz. The enforcement of such an or
der will practically cut off the Car
rama government from further COM
munication with all the foreign ma
lions having ministers resident in
Mexico City. 1t is not believed, &C.
cording to the information, that he
will sever the informal relations with
the United States, as Carranza Is IN
derstood to regard Consul Silliman at
Vera Cruz rs a properly accredited
agent.
Mexico City remains cut off from
communication with the outside world
and there have been no advlces con-
corning the whereabouts of General
: Gonzales, who is believed to be seek
,, ing to give battle to Villas flying
column" somewhere near Pachuca.
Neither is the state department able to
get convincing news regarding the ex-
act conditions in the capital, whether
! the Zapata forces, as reported, are
again active in the control Of the city.
The state department took notice Of
protests against the occupation of Ma
co by Carranza forces. 1t sent mes
sage to Carranza calling attention
and asking him to abide by the Scott
agreement negotiated with the Car
rama and Villa generals, providing
that no military operations shall be
conducted along the border where
lives of Americans will be endangered.
Washington, July 23.-With the
Washington overnment completely
cut off from communication with Mex
leo City for five days since the re-oc-
cupation by Zapata forces and with
local agents of Mexican factions in
complete ignorance of the military
operations near the eapfta1 the Mexi-
can situation today has assumed an
air of tension. Fifty miles north
west of the capital, General Gonzales
with his Carranza army is believed
to be battling with the Villa flying
column" whose swoop down from the
north last week caused HIM huriredly
to abandon Mexico City.
Cutting the cables and telegraph
wires has drawn veil over the whole
section. In diplomatic and govern
ment circles, there is much uneasi-
ness. 1t is assumed the diplomatic
corps in Mexico City has taken steps
to insure the safety of foreigners but
no one knows just what force Zapata
sent to preserve order, and the food
supplies delivered during the brief
Carranza occupation probably are in
sufficient to check the famine riots
very long.
Although Wilson gave callers the
impression the government has in
mind taking some decisive steps later,
he intimated the military situation as
between the Carranza and Villa forces
has now made immediate action in
advisable.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Foot and mouth
disease quarantine regulations We're ex-
TENDED by the department of agriculture
to-day SO as to include all the territory
east of the Mississippi ana north of
Tennessee in a restricted area out OF
which no shipments of livestock except
for slaughter within forty-eight hours
will be permitted to the south or west.
All OF the great slaughter centers are
located in the restricted territory and
there is little shipping of livestock out
of it, but the new order was deemed
necessary to protect the stock producing
sections from infection.
Two important new regulations We're
added to-day, one defining Immediate
slaughter as used in existing orders as
within forty-eight hours and another
prohibiting transportation of livestock
In any part of the United States after
February II except in disinfected cars.
Owing to the fact that few or no cases
Of foot and mouth disease have been
found in Virginia, West Virginia. Yer

stock owners In these jurisdictions will
be permitted under the revised regula-
tons to ship ont stock upon affidavit
that it has been on their farms for a
certain length of time and has not been
exposed to any risk of contagion.
A statement issued tonight by the de-
partment said:
THE recent discovery of n few cases
where cattle, shipped from areas where
the disease had existed, carried it to
previously unaffected sections, such as
four counties In Kansas. convinced the
department that no precautions will
make such shipments absolutely safe.
The new measure, It Is said, should con-
fine the disease to the regions in which
It has already made its appearance and
in which the work of Graduating it Will
be pushed as before.
'In this restricted territory livestock
, may be moved freely to other points
within the same territory, but cannot
pass beyond the limits of the quarantined
area, except for immediate slaughter
The regulations governing the areas
known respectively as closed, exposed,
and modified, remain practically the
same as before"
