NNII ASH NGION. June 22.-News
nv today from Vera Cruz that
" General Yenustiano Carranza,
the First Chief, has been unable to
heal the breach in his cabinet, taken
in conjunction with the arrival in this
country of General Felipe Angeles,
General Francisco villa 5 military ex-
pert and chief of staff, is causing the
peace talk that has been in the air
for some days to take on bodily form.
General Obregon, Carranza fore
most commander, withdrew two days
AGO from the cabinet of the First
chief, taking with him four of his
associates. Carrnnza Immediately
scuttled to cimcumscribed safety on the
rock bound fortress of San Juan de
Uloa, in the harbor of Vera Cruz, and
thence, the next day, issued plaza
tory statement in which he refused to
receive the designations.
CarTanza Is Marooned
ObreRon was stubborn and insisted.
CaTranZa is now marooned on an ISL
and and 0bregon, in command Of the
First Chiefs armies, Is master of the
situation.
What use he win make of it he has
net indicated, but the strong intima-
tion made here is that negotiations
may be opened Between him and An
geIes for terms of peace and a eOali-
tion government, in the formation Of
which both Carranza and Villa may be
eliminated.
Carranza has obstinately refused to
treat with Nilla for peace and has an
swered the communications of the
United States much in the spirit and
manner of General Huerta, when that
grim old chieftain was dictator. II
would be difficult for the United States
to treat further with him.
villa has a record on which the death
of Benton, a British subject, is blot
that never has been removed and makes
any recognition of him impossible. Such
movement for coalition as is suggest
cd would be welcomed by the admins
tration.
Yaquis Defeat vflaistas
Eight hundred Villaistas sent by Gen
eral Maytorna against the Yaqui lndi
ans, on the West Coast, who have de
clared war on the United States anC
Germany, were defeated yesterday, anC
further attacks upon foreigners by thu
victorious Indians are feared. MaytO
rena 3 men lost sixty five.
Nothing has come from Admira
Thomas at Guaymas on the Gulf of Cal
ifornia, to indicate that he has founC
it necessary as yet to set ashore land
ing party of marines. He has author
ity to take whatever steps for the safe
ty of Americans and foreigners h
thinks necessary.
The situation on the West Coast tool
on a more serious aspect today when i
became known that in raid last weel
on the town of Mochis, the Yaqui
killed John Jameson, a British subject
Two Americans were wounded n weel
ago, near Guaymas in q Yaqui raid Of
a Southern Pacific work train.
