rhiral Howard to use his forces If neces-
sary. Maytorena. according to one re,

etkect that the Mexican soldiers have
retreated before the Indians fire.
That some of the soldiers under May
cases have refused to fire upon the

Reports that Admiral Caperton. in
charBe of naval forces on the Atlantic
coast OF Mexico. had asked that "ali
available ships be sent to Vera Cruz

the famine situation exclusively, with

man reported dissensions in the Carran-
Ia cabinet. stating that Carranza had
accepted the resignation of Foreign Min
lister Zuburan and his minister of JUS
uce. and that two other Cabinet off,
cials had presented their designations.
1t is understood that the spit occurred
over Carranza's refusal to respond to
the efforts of the United States to get
him to agree to the proposed peace con-
ference.

from the various factional leaders to
Whom President Wilson's message or
warning was sent. 1t is about 25OJ
words long, and while couched gener-
ally In friendly terms supporting the

Ing the possibility of American inter-
Venuon.
