Washington, Oct 21.-President

tary order. however, which excerpts
General Carranza's government from
the embargo and permits munitions to
go through to him unhampered The
prohibition applies to the factions op-
posed to the government which the
United States has recognized.
The presidents proclamation is
based upon the authority conferred
by congress in 1912 and follows close
ly the terms of President Tafts
proclamation issued when the revolu-
ton was on against Madero.
The order for an exception to the
embargo in favor of the Carranza gov
ernment was contained in a letter
from President Wilson to Secretary
McAdoo instructing him to notify
customs collectors OF the order.
The Villa agency here has closed its
doors and the junta has scattered. It
was announced that in view of the
recognition of General Carranza there
is no further need for maintaining it,
The closing of the agency is regard
ed as significant in the Latin colony

going in for active campaign, at least
in Washington.
