Mexico by which "the problem of paci-
Acation practically is solved" has been
reported to the convention In Mexico
City by General Gutierrez. according
to state department advices tOday from
Consul silIimnn. Details of the plan
were not made public. General Cutler
rex's statement to the convention was
In substance ms foIIowsi
ut may be considered that the problem
of pacification practically Is solved AS
it would be inopportune TO publish at this
time the decision recently arrived at, |
refrain from giving their details and must
limit myself TO the statement that there
have been in touch with the government
over which | preside. all of the armed
groups operating in the country Some
of these units have dispatched special
commissioners. The demands of these
groups have been reduced by them TO two
propositions. These propositions, which
will be given publicity in due time, prob
ably will be satisfied
The statement here issued declaring
Gutierrezs announcement apparently car
ried with 1t an intimation of the strength
ening of the central conventionalist party
without the domination OF any particular

To Meet Daily
A dispatch dated yesterday from Mex
leo City said the convention had decided
to hold daily sessions and that it still was
engaged In discussing credentials.
10 bo M Hapraa re
garding oil lands, the state department
issued the following:
THE department is in receipt of tee-
gram dated January s, from Vera Cruz.
stating that on January an executive
decree was issued by Carranza ordering
development of all oil lands in Mexico
as well as their operation to cease i'm
mediately, unless such development and
operation are carried on with the consent
of the constitutonalist government. 1t
is provided in the decree that the work
on these oil lands shall be suspended
until there can be enacted new laws gov
erning the matter.
CarranZa's Attitude
1T is alleged by Carranza that the prop
critics have been operated to the detri-
ment of the nation and to the exclusive
benefit of the owners. General Larranza
states that as most of the properties are
operated by foreigners, the privileges
they possess of appealing to their gov
ednments for protection gives occasion
for danger of complications of an inter
national character which would prove en-
barrassing to the government in any
work of revising the oil laws.
ut is stated that the right to dc stroy
work undertaken after the decree has
been promulgated is assumed by the con-
stituliOnalist government which also
