it's intention of receiving eonsuls of the de facto government upon presentation Of proper credentials.
 A cablegram to the Carranza agency to- day described scenes of rejoicing in Mex leo City over the news of Carranza' s recognition. It said
 Every species of noise making signal ized the triumph of the cause of consti tutional government tonight. Bells were rung. whistles footed. rifles cracked, pis- tols banged and cannon roared. Fire works were discharged Tn the plszas and in the streets of the capital while young sters enjoyed .themselves with frecrack- CTS and saubs Until dawn the streets were alive with people. Formal parades and informal marches by the popuIace, with blaring bands of music and rousing cheers for General Csrranza and Wood row Wilson alternately resounded through the city. The season of good feeling and happiness was the source of great qualification to the foreign residents of the city, most particularly the Amer jeans.
 It was considered an appropriate coinci- dence that the occasion of the reeogni- ton of Mexico in the sisterhood of Amer ican republics should have taken place while General Carranza was at Saltillo. where the first blow for constitutions ism and in opposition to Huerta was struck
 Another dispatch to the agency told of report received in Mexico City that Lagos Chasaro one time convention pro- visional President, had died from wounds received in a recent encounter between constitutionalist troops and a band of Zapatista frregulars. who were endea vor- Ing to protect Chasaro from capture.

This is the second tim In a month this store has been entered by burglars, but on neither oc- casion did they secure any booty.
