 Washington, June 21.--Rumors of a new peace move by prominent Mex jeans with Gen. Felipe Angeles, form erly Villas artillery chief, as its mov- ing spirit, held the attention of off, cials here today.
 Various reports from the border said Angeles had crossed into the United States but there was no agree ment as to his mission. Border agents of the government reported that he was on his way to Boston to visit his family Unofficial advices from El Paso said that Angeles was enroute to Washington to represent the miii- tary and that Miguel Diaz Lombardo. foreign minister, would reach the border in a few days on his way to w Washing ton to represent the conven- tionalist civil government in new peace plan.
 Speculation on Angeles.
 The representations for 4 Angeles brought considerable speculation. in official and diplomatic quarters today. One version was that he was to con- fer with Mexicans who have taken no part in the revolutionary activity, but who recently have been planning to form a coalition with some of the forces now in the field to enable them to get the active moral sup port which President Wilson re- gently announced the United States would soon give some group unless warning factions could agree among themselves Another explanation was that Angeles had left Villa because of personal differences with him.
 Although officials are watching closely changes in Mexican policies they are taking no hand in the deyel- opments. They are hopeful, however, that out of the developments peace may ultimately come.
 U. s. Cruiser at Guaymas.
 Officials were greatly relieved to- day over unofficial advices that the armored cruiser Colorado. Admiral Towards flagship, had arrived at 'Huaynas with marines and that all was quiet in the Yaqui valley, where Americans had been threatened by Indians.
 The marines are to be used to pro- tect Americans if necessity arises, but Admiral Howard has orders to await further instructions from before landing on Mexi- the Indians.
